The Chargé in the United Kingdom (Gallman) to the Secretary of State

London, October 22, 1945—6 p.m.
[Received October 22—5:45 p.m.]

11049. Foreign Office official today informed us that British are giving careful consideration to contents of our note based on Department’s 9209, October 17,66 regarding Yugoslav situation. It appears that late last week British cabled Embassy in Washington to approach Department regarding idea of asking Tito for text of Subasic’s letter of resignation.67 British wish to avoid accusation against them and US that we connived at Subasic’s resignation.

Foreign Office would prefer not to answer our note before learning Department’s views regarding Subasic’s letter.
