GENERAL
1. Brush view on Siamese border dispute--According to Harriman, the
British feel strongly that the Siamese-French question on disputed
territories should be submitted to the International Court rather than
the Security Council. This opinion is in line with French Ideas (see
Daily Summary of 15 July, item 10).
2. SPAIN:
EUROPE-AFRICA
m_Q--Embassy Madrid re-
ports that, in spite of Inspired publicity to create the impression
of a "humane and enlightened" policy, the Spanish regime continued
during June to arrest and methodically mistreat politically suspect
Spaniards. The Security Council deliberations over the Spanish Govern-
ment, accorrding to the Embassy, have weakened the moderate opposi-
tion and strengthened both Franco and the Communists.
3. USSR: Soviet a tude tgZlo Baruch lan--The US Military Attache
in Moscow believes that the continuing %viet attacks on the Baruch
atomic energy plan demonstrate the Soviets' unwillingness to accept
the plan without amendments designed to minimize US ability to employ
atomic weapons and to bar inspection of Soviet facilities by an inter-
national body.
4. POLAND: ~gylanatton of conciliato tactics toward US--US Ambassa-
dor Lane in Warsaw has been told by a non-Communist member of the
Polish Government that during the Cabinet's recent visit to Moscow
the Poles "were given nothing" by the Soviets but were advised to ob-
tain as much assistance as possible from the Western powers. Lane
believes that the Polish Government's apparent change of attitude toward
the US accordingly should be taken "with reserve."

5. NORWAY: _)elav in Churchill visit--Embassy Oslo reports that Nor-
wegian Labor Party officials are strongly critical of Foreign Minister
Lange's recent action In delaying the projected Churchill visit to Nor-
way. The officials regard the delay, which Lange publicly attributed
to Churchill's Fulton speech, as "deference to Soviet susceptibilities"
and a "sad admission" of Norwegian weakness.
6. IRAN: "Shrromi, r wn; ' wit Tudeh at Ab =_ -US Ambassador Allen be-
lieves that the firm stand taken by the Ehuzistan government against
the Tudeb-sponsored general strike at Abadan may be the beginning of
a showdown with the Tudeh Party. Allen states that the Tudeh evidently
decided to "have a test of strength" over Qavam s retention of IChuzi-
Stan Governor Fathemi but believes that the Government, with British
support, will win. (According to the NY Times, the strike has been
called off as a result of negotiations between the workers and Firuz;
no report Is available on whether any of the workers' demands were
met.)
Jiurk_ outrol southwest Azerbaijan--Us Consulate Tabriz has
beeii informed that negotiations between the Kurds and Azerbaijan
government continue to encounter serious difficulties, but that the
Kurds are not expected to use force to attain separate provincial status
until other means are exhausted. The Kurds now control virtually all
the southwestern border area of Azerbaijan.
