MR. ACHESON:
Last night we were talking about our plan of procedure at San Francisco
and pretty well discussed that. There was one item about it that was
interesting in a small way: In putting this up to the Latin American
group, we thought about it pretty carefully as to how to do it. Under
Eddie Miller's advice, we proceeded in three stages, which worked
beautifully. First of all, we had a very small group, which consisted
of the Brasilians, the Colombians and the Mexicans, and we told them
about what the procedure was and pledged them to great secrecy about this,
which we knew would not be successful and that they were bound to leak.
that they had been bolected to hear
But they were very much pleased/about this, whereupon they went around
and leaked a good deal of this to some of their brethren, mostly on the
view that it was their own suggestion: We then got a larger group of
five or six, went over it with them, and then we had the meeting of the
whole lot. They enthusiastically accepted this program--this was the rules
of the San Francisco meeting, which were very severe indeed, provided
that the temporary Chairman could rule arbitrarily until the permament
Chairman was elected. And the first thing to do after he was elected was
to adopt the rules, and the rules said that the first order of business
should be the adoption of the treaty, without any advance business possible,
and when that was done, the next order of business was adjournment. It
