1o Italy may be willing to negotiate Trieste settlement--
US Ambassador Dunn in Rome has been informed that
the Italian Government would be willing to enter into
direct negotiations with Yugoslavia to settle the Trieste
problem only if assured that the Yugoslav Government
is ready to begin serious talks on the basis of the tri-
partite declaration of 20 March 1948, which favored
Italian control over all of the Territory of Trieste,
Dunn adds that the Italian willingness to consider nego-
tiations arises from the beliefs that: (a) the US is now
in a position to make informal inquiries regarding
Yugoslav intentions without jeopardizing Italian ad.-
herence to the tripartite declaration-, and (b) a spring
political crisis may occur in Yugoslavia and Italy would
have no hope of obtaining agreement from a Soviet-
controlled successor to Tito.
2. Yugoslav-Satellite relations-- US Ambassador Allen in
Belgrade has been informed by Yugoslav Foreign Mini-
ster Kardelj that although Yugoslavia's diplomatic relations
with all the Satellites have long been at the breaking point,
Yugoslavia would hold out "as long as humanly possibleo

almost been reached, particularly in Bulgaria and Albania
The Foreign Minister added that Satellite treatment of
Yugoslav diplomats in Sofia has been "inhuman beyond
description" and that the Yugoslav Ambassador in Rumania
had been recalled but has been unable to obtain an exit visa
(CIA Comment- CIA believes that Yugoslavia will
probably be forced to Withdraw more and more representa-
tives from the Satellites as the Kremlin continues its efforts
to isolate Yugoslavia from Eastern Europe.)
3. Yugoslav 'views on UN seating of Chinese Communists--The
US Delegation to the UN transmits the opinion of Yugoslav
Security Council representative Bebler that the fundamental
issue involved in seating the Chinese Communists in the UN
is the independence of China. Bebler feels sure that this
question-must be connected with Mao's long stay in Moscow
and believes that the longer the Chinese Communists are
kept out of the UN, the more the West will be helping the
Soviet effort to isolate China from the West and to destroy
Chinese independence.
4. Thailand to delay recognition of Bao Dai -US Embassy Bangkok
has been informed by Premier Phibul that the Thai Govern-
ment intends to delay recognition of the Bao Dai regime in
Indochina "for the time being". In support of the Thai deci-
sion, Phibul pointed out that considerations favoring recognition
are outweighed by Thai desires, in common with those of other
Asian peoples, to see nations still considered to be under
"colonial domination" achieve "real freedom and independence".
The Premier added that the Thai people are not convinced that
Bao Dai and his government have yet achieved real freedom,
independence, or a large measure of popular support.
