Twenty other governments have joined with us in sponsoring this
resolution. This includes virtually all the governments with troops
in Korea. I believe we stand a good chance of presenting a good firm
majority on Korea, which may have an effect on the Communist expectations.
By putting heavy stress on the Soviet responsibility for the
Korean affair in my presentation yesterday, I feel that we may have
helped to increase the liability to the Russians of a continuation of
the Korean episode, and particularly to make them feel the contradiction
between this running sore in Asia and their pretensions of peace. I
hope this speech will have met at least some of the requirements of
the speech you spoke to David Bruce about having me do here.
I felt it necessary to dispel the impression Vyshinski was trying
to create, that the Communists had. really offered same new concession
in their note to General Harrison of October 8th. So far, there has
been no indication that the Russians are ready to make any genuine move
on Korea, but we are watching the situation closely.
In summing up the situation here, it appears to me that our
principal job is to hold our friends and allies together in the face
of a determined Soviet effort to drive wedges between us. Although we
are still in the very early stages of this session, I think it looks
reasonably promising so far. By starting out with a tone of moderation
and letting the Soviets hang themselves with their own invective, we
have picked up support from some of our friends with neutralist tendencies.
I have been endeavoring to do as much in the way of informal contacts
here as possible, particularly with Latin American and Middle Eastern
