DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON June 2, 1950 SECRE] SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS TRIESTE We have concluded, after consideration of the views of Embassies Rome, Belgrade and Moscow, that a reply to the Soviet note on Trieste cannot be avoided. We have indicated to Embassy London our views on the wording of the proposed US, UK and French replies and have stated that while we do not be - lieve that the texts of the three Governments' replies need be identical, we do believe that they should be substantially similar to avoid any appearance of disunity. Contrary to the British preference for a longer, detailed rebuttal of the Soviet allegations, we believe that a shorter version would be more effective from a political and propaganda point of view. We propose to hand copies of our reply to the Soviet note to the Yugoslav and Italian Ambassadors here after its delivery in Moscow and to take the occasion to raise with the Yugoslav Ambassador the matter of Yugoslav restrictions in their zone of Trieste. In addi- tion, our Ambassador in Belgrade has been authorized to discuss in general terms with the Yugoslav authorities the question of these restrictions should the opportunity arise. BURMA Embassy Rangoon has learned from a reliable source that Chinese Communist troops have now occupied an important area along the Burma-China - border, thus filling the vacuum which had insulated Burma from the full implications of the Communist conquest of China. Our Embassy believes that the Chinese Communists are now in a position to give effective aid to local insurgents in Burma. DECLASSIFIED E.O. 12065, Sec. 3-402 State Dept. Guidelines, March 6, 1982 By DEB NLT, Date 5-14-85 SECRET
