Re Chinese Communist conversations with UN SYG.
Confirming Gross-Hickerson TELECON Saturday, December 2,
following is report of Gross conversation with SYG Lie
and Entezam held 6 p.m. Saturday evening.
Regarding 1 1/2 hour talk Lie held with Wu and other Peiping
representatives December 1, Lie described conversation as
taking place in friendly atmosphere. After discussing
number administrative matters, Lie says he told Wu in
direct language that Chinese were "committing aggression"
in Korea and that the killing must stop as soon as possible.
Lie reports he told Wu that there must be a cease-fire and
that "it was no good" that they were killing American boys
and Americans were killing Chinese. He says he told Wu that
he should have more contacts with other delegates, those which
have not recognized Peiping regime as well as those which have.
If Wu had such contacts he would find out that everyone agreed
with what Lie was saying about stopping the fighting. Re-
minding Wu that Lie had always favored seating Peiping regime
in UN, he says he told Wu that course they were now pursuing
would not bring about that objective.
When Wu indicated willingness to see other delegates, Lie
arranged a dinner at his home 8 p.m., Monday, December 4.
Guest list, submitted to Wu in advance and approved by him,
includes Jebb, Rau, Zafrulla, Khan, Grafstrom, Sharrett,
Zinchenko, as well as Wu, Chiao, Mrs. Kung and interpreters.
Lie explained he invited Sharrett not only because Israel
had recognized Peiping but because Sharrett speaks Russian.
For reason Lie plans to put Sharrett alongside Wu and Jebb
alongside Chiao.
During course of conversation, Gross alerted Entezam to
possible need for quick GA action on Chinese intervention
question. Entezam expressed entire willingness to cooperate.
After Entezam left, Lie told Gross that Entezam was also
"trying to get in touch with Wu" and appeared anxious to talk
with him.
