take part in all Council discussions of the Korean problem, but
this was rejected by a vote of 3 to 2, with 6 abstentions. The
Council then took up an amended version of the Soviet proposal,
submitted by the British, that would have the Security Council
"invite, in accordance with. the Rules of Procedure,
a
representative of the Central People's Government of the
People's Republic of China to be present during discussion by
the Council of the Special Report of the UN Command in Korea. 11
Austin stated the views of the US delegation on the amended pro-
posal as follows: "I think it is well known in the organs of the
UN that the US has been and is most strongly opposed to the
seating in the UN of the Communist Chinese regime But the
present facts which are before us could be interpreted as a provoca-
tion to general war. This makes a difference in the problem that
confronts us than when we were considering a petition to admit
the representative of the North Korean aggressors to the Council.
There might be gained some information from witnesses from the
Chinese Communist regime which might guide us toward prevention.
of an extension of the existing struggle in Korea. I reject the
concept of an invitation. I believe that this regime should not
be invited, but rather they should be summoned to appear before
this organ in their true character, with its primary responsibility
for the maintenance of peace. "
Austin did not formally suggest any change in the wording of the
S.
draft resolution, however, and the British proposal was adopted
in its original form by a vote of 8 to 2 (China and Cuba), with
U.S. SERVICET RECORDS UNATIONAL AND
1 abstention (Egypt).
On November 11th the Chinese Communist government rejected the
I
invitation of the Security Council. A message signed by Chou
En-lai said that the invitation could not be accepted "because
according to the contents of the resolution, this invitation
deprives the representative of [Red] China of the right to
discussion in the Security Council the most pressing question of
the Chinese people, namely, the question of armed intervention in
Korea and aggression against China by the US Government, and limits
the right of the Chinese representative to the discussion of the
special report of the so-called UN command. "
Chou offered as an
alternative proposal that the Security Council "combine the dis-
cussion of the accusation raised by the
People's
Republic of
China against armed aggression on Taiwan by the US
and the dis-
cussion of the question of armed intervention in Korea by the US.
DGA Comments
On the 15th of November DGA said in Washington that Chinese inter-
vention in Korea "presents a very difficult problem for everyone. "
He explained that if the Chinese Communists "believe, as their
propaganda states, that the UN or the US have any ulterior
designs in Manchuria everything possible must be done to disabuse
them of such an illusion because it is not true.' DGA granted
that they may have tworries about their legitimate interests in the
