come here to do. That is not true, We in Britain are deeply
concerned with all that goes on in Asia, for we have a long and
intimate association with its peoples. So we naturally bring
into our discussions in Washington the viewpoints we derive from
our special position.'
Also on the 6th Nehru said that he welcomed the Truman-Attlee
meeting and that "generally speaking," the Indians had a "good
deal in common with what [Attlee] has said in regard to the present
situation. " Nehru said that Attlee had been fully acquainted with
the Indian point of view in preparation for his talks with HST.
HST and Attlee held six meetings. A joint communiqué issued at the
conclusion of their conferences on December 8th stated, in part:
"We first reviewed the changed aspect of world affairs arising
from the massive intervention of Chinese communists in Korea
The unity of objectives of our two countries underlay all the dis-
cussions. There is no difference between us as to the nature of
the threat which our countries face or the basic policies which
must be pursued to overcome it The peoples of the US and the
UK will act together with resolution and unity to meet the challenge
to peace which recent weeks have made clear to all.
"The UN forces were sent into Korea on the authority and at the
recommendation of the UN. The UN has not changed the mission which
it has entrusted to them and the forces of our two countries will
continue to discharge their responsibilities. We were in complete
agreement that there can be no thought of appeasement or of reward-

depend upon strong support for resistance against aggression.
"For our part we are ready, as we have always been, to seek an end
to the hostilities by means of negotiations. The same principles
of international conduct should be applied to this situation as are
applied, in accordance with our obligations under the Charter of
the UN, to any threat to world peace. Every effort must be made
to achieve the purposes of the UN in Korea by peaceful means and
to find a solution of the Korean problem on the basis of a free
and independent Korea. We are confident that the great majority
of the UN takes the same view. If the C hinese on their side
display any evidence of a similar attitude, we are hopeful that
the cause of peace can be upheld. If they do not, then it will be
for the peoples of the world, acting through the UN, to decide
how the principles of the Charter can best be maintained. For
our part, we declare in advance our firm resolve to uphold them...
"The free nations of Asia have given strong support to the UN and
have worked for world peace. Communist aggression in Korea increases
the danger to the security and independence of these nations.
We reaffirm our intention to continue to help them.
