would be to move to rescind or repeal the resolution
of September 11, but he did not make that motion.
If such /a motion were made even now, it would be for
the Council tq act on the motion, and the records
show what occurred. All that I am saying is that
the protocol ought to show just what occurred, and
if it did, there could be no reason for objection by
anybody, because everybody knows the position taken
by the Soviet representative now. I thought he would
move to cancel or reneal it or in some way have the
records show it, other than by a mere statement.
MOLOTOV That is what I want to say--that an
error has been made and should be corrected, and the
decision revoked. Otherwise, we shall not sign any
protocol, Or else the incorrect item should be ex-
cluded, and no spécial decision would be required.
Or else the decision adopted on September 11 should
be deleted, and in this case no spécial decision
revoking it would be required. I will not suggest
that we exclude anything from the protocol, but
unless the mistake has been but right, the Soviet
Delegation will sign no protocol. No one can compel
the Soviet Delegation to sign what the Soviet Delega-
tion does not agree to, and says BO openly. That
ought to be clear.
Todasto:
BYRNES: Mr. Chairman, when a council adopts a
resolution, acts upon it for sixteen meetings, it can-
not be excluded from the record, but that does not
preclude the records showing exactly what occurred
da
and the record should show, at some place, that on
September 22 the Soviet representative informed the
Council that he had made a mist?ke in agreeing to the
resolution of September 11, and that the assent of
the Soviet Delegtation to that decision was withdrawn.
If he wants a statement of that kind, that is the fact.
MOLOTOV: This is exactly what the Soviet Delega-
tion stated on September 22, and the Soviet Delegation
has never renounced that statement and continues to
hold--to maintain that view. That is why, this is the
reason for which we shall not sign any protocol unless
the decision has been revoked.
BEVIN: Mr. Chairman, would: it not be better to
say that in the protocol, and make it quite clear,
