The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Greece ( MacVeagh )

711. Please convey informally to appropriate Greek authorities substance of those portions of Jacobs’ report on treatment of Greek minority in Albania (infotel 671 July 1140) of which, in your judgment, Greek officials should be made aware.

Since all reports received to date by Dept from American observers in Albania fail to support Greek allegations of persecution by Albanian authorities, Dept believes that communication of such first-hand information to Greek authorities might have salutary effect in discouraging further extravagant charges and claims.

Sent to Athens; repeated to Amrep Tirana.
