No. WA-602.

SECRET.

Reference; My Wa-598 of March 9th.
Subject;

Use of United States bases in United Kingdom,

le

In paragraph 8 of my message under reference I reported

Mr. Eden as saying that the communique of March 7th reaffirmed
that
A

the use of the U.S. bases in England in an emergency would be a

matter for joint decision.

This was a repetition of the undertaking

given to Mr. Churchill by the previous Administration; the language

used in the communique is, indeed, identical with that employed in
the communique issued by President Truman and Mr. Churchill on

January 9th, 1952.

2.

Arneson of the State Department has informed us that Mr,

Eden introduced this subject at the insistence of Mr. Churchill,
In the State Department this caused some. concern, on the ground that
there were many similar undertakings given by the previous Administration which remained in force without any reaffirmation, and that there
was therefore no need to cover this particular point, " Mr. Dulles,

however, agreed to meet Mr. Churchill’s wishes.

3.

A similar undertaking was given by the Truman Administra-

tion to the Canadian Government about the use of Goose Bay and

Canadian air space.

I think we should not seek to have this under-

taking renewed, since its continued validity is not in doubt.
