SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS

-
UNITED
NATIONS Gromyko has told Johnson that the USSR will oppose the admission
to the United Nations of Portugal, Ireland, Transjordan and Siam
Merc
not only in the membership committee but also in the Security Council because
these countries do not have diplomatic relations with the USSR. He said the
Soviet position is one of principle and that he knows of no reason to believe
that this attitude may be changed. Gromyko indicated that the attitude of other
countries toward the Mongolian Republic's application might have a bearing on
the Soviet attitude toward Sweden, Iceland and Afghanistan whose applications
on their own merits the USSR would be disposed to favor. He did not mention
Albania in this connection but referred "warmly" to that country's claim to
membership.
051- CHINA
Embassy Nanking feels that the Chinese Communists' current press
attacks on General Marshall may mean that the Communists have
decided that a settlement satisfactory to them is not to be obtained through
Marshall's mediation and may be a forerunner of a demand that the China problem
be placed before the signatories of the Moscow declaration or the United Nations.
051. PALESTINE
Informal talks with Arab Foreign Ministers who have been con-
ferring in Egypt indicate that while they completely reject the
partition of Palestine in any form and reflect resentment of US participation
in the Palestine problem, they also face the future with misgivings and without
any apparent program other than the submission of the Palestine question to the
United Nations should the London conference break down as they anticipate it will.
051 USSR
Embassy Moscow reports that a recent editorial published in
Moscow is the most comprehensive, violent and hostile polemic
against Anglo-Americans that has been printed in the USSR since the conclusion of
the war. The Embassy states that presunably the intention of the article is to
extinguish in Communist Party circles any lingering ideas or hopes that friendly
relations are possible between the USSR and the Anglo-Americans
GMY
Embassy Paris reports that it now seems clear that Moscow is
using the German and French Communist parties as its most valuable pawns in a
struggle for power by exploiting simultaneously nationalist sentiments and class
struggle. The Embassy believes Stalin will be the loser only in the event that
both French and German Communists fail eventually to dominate their respective
countries.
