Sir Oliver showed me copies of the exchange of
communications between Nehru and Attlee. He was
unable to leave copies with us.
He aslo showed me a copy of the report which
Ambassador Kelly had made giving his reactions to his
last talk with Gromyko.
Sir Oliver stated that he had favorable word on
my request concerning stopping of oil shipments to
Communist China and informed me that the British Govern-
ment had decided to requisition all oil supplies as the
quickest and least troublesome way of stopping shipments.
His Government also raised the question of including oil
in the 1-A list so far as East-West trade was concerned
and indicated that it felt that this should be disoussed
by the East-West trade people in Paris. Finally, his
Government requested that the Department maintain the
greatest secrecy concerning these oil measures. I ques-
tioned what this meant and how the requisitioning of oil
stocks in Hong Kong could be kept secret. Sir Oliver
agreed and said that he would seek further clarification
on this point.
