Comment. Although both Indonesian and
Philippine authorities have been concerned over the infiltration of
Chinese Communist agents, such arrests are very rare.
The Chinese Nationalists have periodically
executed groups of alleged Communist agents, some of whom had
come to Formosa from the mainland.

3. Mossadeq asks US to train Iranian naval officers in exchange for oil:
Prime Minister Mossadeq asked Ambassador
Henderson on 5 November if the United
States would complete the training of 24
Iranian officers in American naval schools
and accept payment in oil. Mossadeq said that the officers had been
studying in Great Britain, but that the rupture in diplomatic relations
and the lack of foreign exchange make it necessary to withdraw them.
The Ambassador warned Mossadeq that
this method of payment might not be practical, and that there was also
the question of available vacancies.
Comment. A prime motive for this request
would appear to be Mossadeq'sdesdesire to get American aid in breaking
the British-unposed . oil blockade. Iran's lack of foreign exchange
has, however, also forced a drastic curtailment in Iranian diplomatic
activities and may have been in part responsible for the recent
abandonment of a naval training program in Italy.

 4. Prime Minister charges the United States with responsibility for
Iran's fate:
Iran at this time, Mossadeq insisted, would make the United States
just as culpable for Iran's collapse as would frank hostility.
Mossadeq informed Ambassador Henderson
on 4 November that the rupture in relations
with Great Britain has focused Iranian
attention on the United States and has made
it even more responsible for Iran's fate. A passive attitude toward
Comment: This is the most direct statement
Mossadeq has yet made of his attitude toward the United States.
British Foreign Office wants immediate approach to Iraq on MEDO:
Foreign Secretary Eden is expected to
insist that Iraq be the first Arab state
informally approached on participation
in the Middle East Defense Organization.
The Foreign Office feels that the views of all the Arab states
should be known before any decision is made on the next step.,
The American Ambassador in London
believes that after discussing the subject with Iraqi officials,
Britain will agree with the United States that the first official approach
should be made to Egypt,
Comment: American observers believe
that Iraq would be unwilling to take the lead, and General Nagib has
stated that he will not discuss the question until British troops have
evacuated the Suez Canal zone. The British desire to approach Iraq :
first probably arises from a disinclination to negotiate with Egypt
on this subject at this time. The British Government favors setting
up the organization whether or not Arab support is forthcoming.

6. Embassy fears "serious incident" in French-American relations over

The French accuse the Mutual Security

by CIO representative Victor Reuther on the majority leaders of the
Socialist and Catholic federations.,
AF of L representative Irving Brown has also
aroused resentment by his "outspoken recommendations" on French policy
questions.
