5. Soviet press attacks Chiang Kal-shek--US Charge Durbrow at Moscow
reports that the first explicit 95a-el press attack against Chiang Kai-
shek appeared recently In a review characterizing the Generalissimo's
book, `Chinese Economic Theory," as a "ready-made philosophy of
totalitarianism in a special Chinese edition." Durbrow comments that
the Soviet Government may have concluded that Chiang will not "acqui-
esce to Soviet purposes" in China and that a Chinese coalition govern-
ment is unlikely.

6. USSR: Soviet "aid" to Tannu Tuva---Durbrow reports that the Soviet
press of August devoted a third of Its space to glorification of Soviet
policy in Tannu Tuva (autonomous district in central Asia) as an example
of the t "fraternal aid of a great power to a small people." The press
asserted that the incorporation of Tannu Tuva into the USSR in 1944
resulted from popular demand among the natives. Durbrow points out
that this is the first public explanation of the "completely unilateral
Incorporation of this supposedly Independent state Into the Soviet Union."
7. ALGERIA: Communist-Nationalist alliance--US Consul General Algiers
has received from Governor General Chataigneau confirmation of the
report that the Communists "with Soviet Inspiration" are offering to
the Algerian Nationalists an alliance which Chataigneau feels the latter
will accept. Chataiigneau also believes that the Communists will run no
candidates In Algeria's October elections, but will support Nationalist
candidates.

brow hasIorwar ed a British Embassy report that hiang told the new
British Ambassador to China that he is convinced the Communists have
no intention of a "genuine compromise"' and therefore must be defeated
militarily,, Chiang stated that defeat of the main Communist forces
"should not be a lengthy process" and might be followed by a "compro-
mise" with Communist leaders.

9. KOREA: Illegal immigration from Soviet Zone--Despite repeated pro-
tests to the o e omman er or rea, General Hodge has been
unable to halt the illegal entry of Japanese into the US Zone. The US has
repatriated approximately 190, 000 of an estimated 263, 000 Japanese in
North Korea.

orces s occupy assn o , a n m es no west of Manila (see
Daily Summary of 13 August, item 12), and that Ruk concentrations "of
undetermined strength" have been noted near two cities about 20 miles
farther north. The Philippine Government has demanded that arms be
surrendered by 31 August, one day after the present termination date of
the Huk-Government truce. The Commanding General believes that "the
present explosive situation appears headed for open conflict,"
recent New York Times editorial on the proposed immigration policies
of the Argentine Government, can prejudice seriously the current US
efforts to bring about a satisfactory solution of the Argentine situation.
Messersmith adds that there is `(no real foundation" for the attitude
taken by the Times, and that the Argentine Congress will almost cer-
tainly ratify the Acts of Mexico City and San Francisco "next week,"
opening the way for "'adequate" action against Axis property and aliens.
