PARTICIPANTS: Secretary Acheson
The Forein Minister of Canada, Mr. Lester
B. Pearson
Mr. Pearson mentioned the accounts which had
appeared in the newspapers about the project, supposed
to flow from Senator Wiley, of the resolution which Mr.
Pearson thoughtwas directed toward giving various
governments the right to object to their own nationals
employed by the United Nations. He said that this might
be a most dangerous and disturbing project and wanted to
know what ne had in mind and hoped that we also had in
mind the number of Czechs and others who vere non-communists
who might be ob j eted to by their omn governments. He
also said that re would have a trerendous uproar about
human rights, legal procedures, etc., which might cruse
the gavest difficulty in connection with other matters.
He hoped that we had realized the delicacy of this matter.
I said that I realized the delicacy of it, and
that, while I bd not been in touch with those who were
working on the matter in our delegation today, our purpose
hnd been to confer with the Secretary General's staff and
work out with then a proposal which would give the
Secretary General the powers which he and his staff
thought were needed. Mr. Pearson expressed strong au roval
of our being in touch with the Secretary General's office
and hoped that we would proceed with caution.
