SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
COUNCIL OF
A UK Foreign Office official has expressed
FOREIGN MINISTERS
general agreement with the line taken in our
proposed reply to the Soviet note of Decem- -
ber 30 regarding a Council of Foreign Ministers meeting. With
respect to exploratory talks among the four powers, he said that the
UK Foreign Office had been prepared to agree to a Soviet suggestion
that these talks be held in Paris or London and for this reason was
unable to commit himself at this time to our suggestion that they be
held in New York. The French Foreign Office likewise withheld its
views regarding a place for exploratory talks as well as that for the
prior US-UK-French conversations, although the French are in full
agreement that the ultimate meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers
should be held in the US. Detailed French and British comments to
our proposed draft are expected within a few days.
UNITED NATIONS
The three-man UN cease-fire committee has
redrafted its statement of principles for a
peaceful solution of the Korean problem, although Indian Government
approval of the statement has not been received. In a conversation
with our UN mission, Canadian delegate Pearson expressed the hope
that Indian approval of the principles would be obtained on Thursday
and that the cease-fire committee could then present the statement to
the General Assembly by Friday and request the President of the
Assembly, on behalf of the committee, to transmit them to the Chinese
Communist regime. While he personally did not expect the Chinese
Communists to accept the proposed statement of principles, Pearson
believed it was important for many nations that an intermediate step
along these lines be taken.
