Your 110 gives us the first clear account that we have had. It is
clear that non-aggression pacts between Greece, Yugoslavia,
Albania and Bulgaria can have no satisfactory effect if the
present Greek Government merely takes advantage of these pacts to
proceed against left-wing political minorities in Greece.

2. Since your report the United States has announced economic
assistance to Greece. While there may be conditions attached these
were not announced. We agree that there should be conditions
imposed such as an early election.

3. Meanwhile the Commission should recommend the conclusion of
non-aggression pacts but [to] be negotiated by Governments freely
elected from representatives of all parties.

4. Consideration should also be given to the Commission remaining
in Greece until those elections are held. Time is an important
factor and the report should be made with the least possible delay
and attended to in the Security Council immediately.

5. Please advise immediately the reaction of other members of the
Commission to such a proposal and what steps the Commission would
be prepared to recommend to the Security Council to ensure that
the recommendations of the Commission, when approved by the
Security Council, are carried into effect.

6. We are very pleased with difficult work of yourself Chapman and
Atyeo. We should like your assessment of the value of Australia's
participation and the services of these officers.
