GENERAL
1. Guided missiles over Sweden--A Swedish representative at the Red Air
ra on oscow told US Military Attache Moscow that 200
flying bombs have passed over Sweden. Most of the bombs, according
to radar plottings, come from the Peenemuende area and some may
have come from Baltic coastal areas. As no reports of the bombs have
been received from Finland, it is probable that they drop in the Culf of
Bothnia after traversing Sweden at a speed between 240 and 360 miles
per hour. The Swedish official believes that the bombs are similar to
but slightly larger than the V-1, and are generally under accurate radio
control.
2. Czechoslovakia about to recognize Giral--According to Caffery Foreign
Minister Masaryk has told a member of US Embassy Paris that Czecho-
slovak recognition of the Giral Spanish "Republican" Government would
be announced "in a couple of days. $1
3. Soviet troop concentration on Iranian border--US Military Attache
Tabriz has reported that as of 19 August no information was available
on the reported Soviet troop concentration along the Soviet-Iranian bor-
der. The Attache believes that "a build-up of some nature" is taking
place but his ""guess"' is that the War Department's estimate of nine
Soviet divisions is more accurate than the rumor of between 25 and 30
divisions.

4. GERMANY: USSR o ses e x c h a n g e a of news a r --US
Political Advisor Murphy reports that at the 19 August meeting of the
Political Directorate the Soviet member objected to the peremptory
tone of the US proposal for the interzonal exchange of newspapers and
expressed misgivings about the liberties which certain "hooligan0; Ger-
man editors might take.
5. FRANCE: Socialists s l i t over li y toward Communists--Socialist
Party members have told Caffery that, among the controversies
""raging" within the Party, the issue of unity of action with the Commu-
nists is the most provocative. (Future Socialist policy will be estab-
lished in the Party's national convention late in August.)

9. CHWA: Nationalist military eager to attack Communists--US Military
A t t a c h e Nanking h a s been t o l d by t h e Nationalist Chie o Staff in Man-
churia that the immediate objective of National Government forces, "If
not restrained" by Chiang's orders, will be to force the Communists
from Harbin and Tsitsihar and cut them off from all international bor-
ders except on the northwest. The Chief of Staff considers that if the
Government forces do not attack this winter, the Communist position
by spring will be strong enough to make operations against them "much
more difficult."
UNRRA. operations in Formosa--US Consul Blake at Tathoku
does not concur in the recommendation, made by the Chief of the UNRRA
Regional Office in Formosa, that UNRRA operations in Formosa be
liquidated (see Daily Summary of 17 August, item 7). Blake holds that
Formosa urgently needs additional UNRRA relief and rehabilitation sup-
plies of the types thus far received and that UNRRA activities should be
curtailed only on the same basis as that applied to the Chinese mainland.

10. PERU: APRA leader minimizes Talara brawl--The leader of Peru's
strong APRA party, Haya de la Torre, has told US Ambassador Cooper
that he feels the recent "incident" at Talara between US Army and Peru-
vian Naval personnel (see Daily Summary of 7 August, Item 17) should
be minimized and not be permitted to influence consideration of "larger
affairs."
