Re Korea:
After outlining to Secretary Acheson present situation here
and summarizing developments at mtg of 21 co-sponsors yesterday
a.m. I read to Secretary substance of points I planned to make
to Eden at our mtg this afternoon (DELGA 242, Nov 22). Secre-
tary approved substance of points and instructed that we shld
arrange mtg of 21 Sunday evening. Secretary wished to be free
Monday a.m. to prepare comite 1 statement. He also agreed that
we shld not be inactive during week end but shld take steps to
mobilize support behind our point of view.
At 3:30 mtg with Eden and Selwyn Lloyd, the three of us had a
frank and friendly discussion for more than an hour. No agree-
ment was reached but believe mtg was useful for exchange of
views and definition of present positions of both US and UK
Govts. After I outlined substance of points mentioned above,
I told Eden that we had requested mtg of 21 for Sunday evening
and that Secretary of State planned to attend.
Eden then outlined his views in following sense. He himself
still believed that the Indian res in the form tabled by Menon
was "not too bad" He felt it to have been a large accomplish-
ment that the Indians had recorded their support for the principle
of non-forcible repatriation. Although he was not able to appre-
ciate the full force of our objections to para 14 of the Menon
draft (relating to a comm) or to para 17 (relating to dis-
position of non-repatriated PWs) he had attempted in his speech
in comite l to safeguard what he understood to be the basic
elements of our concern. Although he recognized the fact that
we valued Indian support, as I had pointed out, he himself as
well as the vast majority of Brit public felt that the Indian
initiative was of "tremendous importance". Eden shared our
doubts
