BACKGROUND
IRAN'S CURRENT POSITION ON OIL DISPUTE
1. Will not resume relations with Britain
until progress is made toward settling
oil dispute.
II. Favors an international consortium to
transport and distribute Iranian oil, but
AIOC must not be a majority participant.
Will not permit AIOC to ask compensation
for loss of future profits.
IV. Insists that any agreement must ensure to
Iran that its oil income will never "be
less than the maximum accruing to others."

Summary of ONE memorandum of 9 November
"THE SHORT TERM POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN
ITALY (through 1955)
1. 'Italy faces a period of political in-
stability with the prospect of a
further weakening of the democratic
center and a strengthening of both
right and left extremes.
a. Any settlement of the Trieste crisis
which does not appear favorable to
Italy ---- which does not approximate
the US-UK 8 October decision ----
will probably lead to the fall of
the Pella cabinet and further streng-
then these extremes.
2. A Trieste settlement favorable to Italy
would bolster the present Italian govern-
ment.

a. It would not, in itself, be suffi-
cient to avert the weakening of the
democratic center in Italy.
3. However, we believe it unlikely that
during the next two years a Communist-
dominated government will come to power,
whether by coup or by legal means.
a. Any changes in the-political com-
plexion of the Italian government
over the next two years are more
likely to be toward the right than
toward the left.
b. A right dictatorship, however, would
be highly unlikely.
