GENERAL
1. Great Britain and France object to tone of draft note to USSR:
Both Great Britain and France agree on
the desirability of a meeting withthe USSR,
25X1 A I I provided a prior understanding on the
agenda can be reached. They contend,
however, that the tone of the American
draft reply to the latest Soviet note would
lead the Western Europeans to blame the
West rather than the Russians for un-
willingness to talk.
American observers in Bonn believe that
Chancellor Adenauer might not object to the American draftbecause
of its insistence on Allied-Soviet agreement on certain conditions
prior to any talks.
Comment: The American draft calls for
a study of election conditions in both East and West Germany and
an impartial investigation not subject to veto. Great Britain and
France maintain that Western Europe must not be given grounds to
believe that conditions are being imposed which the USSR is expected
to reject.

FAR EAST
25X1A
High Commissioner of Malaya may recommend more American aid:
obtain military supplies or American subsidization of natural rubber.
The High Commissioner is gravely con-
cerned over the rubber price situation, and he may argue in London
that the success of the anti-Communist campaign in Malaya should
not be jeopardized by a drop in the price of rubber.
Comment: During the past two years,
funds for the war in Malaya have been supplied chiefly by the Feder-
ation of Malaya, which has maintained a budget surplus largely through
revenue from rubber exports.

Commissioner of the Federation of Malaya,
during his imminent visit to London may

mends that no further aid be extended until Indonesia states clearly
what obligations it will assume in return for the assistance.
Comment: The last Indonesian Cabinet
fell early in April because secretly agreed to the requirements of
the Mutual Security Act. The present cabinet, while stating it de-
sires American economic aid, has refused to indicate the terms on
which it would accept help.

ful March riots.
25X1 Comment:

ments in recent months. While the Tudeh is undoubtedly affected by
the financial deterioration in Iran, there is no evidence that the party
is having unusual difficulty keeping its members in line.
