Re Asian draft Korean peace plan.
DCR
Below is draft plan dated December 5 and marked secret
Slu
which was delivered to office of Gross in his absence
this afternoor by Lopez, Philippines delegation. Marginal
note in pencil on paragraph D on draft states "General Romulo
ob jects to this paragraph". Lopez did not divulge origin
of draft text. Covering note addressed to Gross and signed
by Lopez is as follows:
Covering memo: "General Romulo, who is now in Washington,
has asked me to show this general plan of a resolution to
you. He doesn't know whether you have already seen it,
and would only like to know your general reaction. The
plan is tentative and, at this stage, unofficial.
I would appreciate a chance to have a word with you after
the close of today's meeting."
Draft plans: "It is significant that in his speech before
the SC, the Chinese representative at no time made reference
to United Nations intervention in Korea as such, but restricted
himself to charges against the United States and their inten-
tions towards China. It might be well in this emergency
for the UN, in taking note of this fact, to proceed as follows:
1. Repudiate in the strongest possible terms the charges
levied by China against the US, re-emphasizing emphatically
that the US action was taken at the request and as parti of
combined UN action and with its full endorsement and approval,
which in every sense has United Nations backing.
2. Nevertheless, as illustrative of its determined inten-
tion to preserve world peace and to demonstrate the baseless-
ness of the Chinese contention, and to bring an end to
aggression, United Nations enunciates as follows:
(A) There will be an immediate cease fire in Korea.
(B)
China
