1. Arabs reiterate attacks on US Palestine potic --The Syrian Minister
in nLo don, speaking for all Arab representatives there, has told Harri-
man that Arab friendship for the US is endangered by the apparently
"uncritically pro-Zionist attitude taken by the US toward Palestine.
The Minister assured Harriman that he spoke as a friend of the US, and
hoped for a peaceful settlement between Jews and Arabs. In Baghdad

lar opinion of US Palestine policy, adding that he opposes UNREA as an
organization whose principal benefits go to Jews and Zionists.

crystallizing alor lines
he A~nglo-Egyptian treaty apparently is
previously indicated, and that an early agreement is expected, possibly
within a week The period allotted for complete British evacuation is
expected to be two years. The outstanding obstacles remaining are be -
lieved to be the British desire for a clause justifying their action in
"imminent threat of war," and the Sudan question.
3. Soviet relation to Outer MonMolta--US Ambassador Smith in Moscow
characterizes as unreallistic the Chinese anxiety over an alleged
secret agreement providing for maintenance of Soviet troops in the
Mongolian Peoples Republic (see Daily Summary of 13 July, item 9).
Smith comments that the Republic is "unescapably" subject to the
USSR, and that the Republic's army may be regarded as part of the
Soviet military machine. He believes that, if the US opposes the Re-
public's entry into the UN on these grounds, it would ' not be surpris-
ing" if the USSR raised the questions of the military relationship be-
tween the UK, Iraq and India and between the US and the Philippines.

has refused a request for the stationing of Soviet Naval officers at var-
ious points in the US and has terminated the activities of the Soviet Pur-
chasing Commission in the US. ^10

8. FRENCH MOROCCO: Nationalist ris js noeted "fnarnediatel "--

in French Morocco, quotes a very reliable French colonial officer to the
effect that no trouble Is expected in the immediate future, although no
one can say "there might not be trouble some time ahead." The offi-
cer appeared to believe that Communist-inspired activities are more
dangerous than Nationalist agitation, and disclosed the French hope of

economic policies.
