SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
SHANGHAI
We are endeavoring to obtain the assurances of the
Chinese government that it will allow unmolested
commercial air flights to Shanghai sufficient for the evacuation
of US citizens and other foreign nationals to Hong Kong, Okinawa
or such other points as might be required. Admitting that the
Communists might require a small percentage of each aircraft's
capacity for their own uses, we feel that this incidental advan-
tage to the Communists is outweighed by considerations of evacua-
ting foreign nationals.
KASHMIR
Our Ambassador in New Delhi is more optimistic about
the possibility of arbitration of the Kashmir dispute
between India and Pakistan since, in contrast to his earlier in-
transigent attitude, Nehru gave President Truman's recent message
a thoughtful and concerned reception. The Ambassador is convinced
that the Truman and Attlee messages have ensured that the arbitra-
tion proposal will be studied with great care and that Nehru is now
fully aware of the importance of the decision to be reached.
BERLIN
Our Political Adviser in Berlin believes that various
recent reports and developments indicate that the USSR
may be on the verge of some move aimed at reunifying the Berlin
city administration. While the possibility cannot be ruled out
that the Soviets are planting rumors for the purpose of creating
uneasiness in western Berlin, our representatives would not be
surprised by some new Soviet proposals in the near future.
