indicate he could not accomplish his missione He inquired about the attitude
of other members of the UN and whether we could count on their continuing
supports
SECRETARY ACHESON and MR. RUSK pointed out the anxiety which other
friendly members of the UN felt about our becoming more deeply involved

GENERAL MARSHALL expressed satisfaction that Mr. Acheson had stated his
belief that General MacArthur should push forward with the planned offensive.

military offensive. The time for making political proposals would be after
MacArthur had had such a successe
