In the absence of altered instructions, we shall continue
along the course now indicated for the short-run future. I
must emphasize, however, that this line of discussion can
hardly last more than another 30 to 60 days.
It is of course always possible that the Soviet
Union may initiate a break. In this event, we would be
forced immediately to mount a vigorous counter-attack on
the Soviet position, aimed at demonstrating the utter
inadequacy of the Soviet plan and its repudiation of the
Commis: si on's mandate which they themselves sponsored in
the Moscow Declaration.
2. Long-Term Policy
Within the next 30 to 60 days, it will become
necessary to choose one of the two alternatives outlined in
Section D above. This decision on the longer-run action
requires new instructions taking into account the relation
of the negotiations on atomic ener gy to the overall pattern
of our foreign policy.
A decision as to the course which we shall
pursue is essential before the end of this year, because
three present members, namely Egypt, Mexico, and the Nether-
lands, retire on January 1, 1947. These three nations are
all supporters of the U. S. proposals. They will be re-
placed by three others selected by the General Assembly.
The successors that have been discussed are Belgium,
