UXP Korda you. 57 USUN - Ambassador Gross June 19, 1951 UNP - Mr. Wainhouse French Draft of Possible US, UK, French Declaration on Korea. I am enclosing in duplicate the text of a Brench draft of a possible US, UK, French declaration on Korea which the French Ambassador left with the Department on June 13. The French Ambassador informed us that the British were also being given a copy of this draft, and that it was the opinion of his Government that a tripartite declaration would be more effective than a statement by the sixteen powers presently engaged in the United Nations action in Korea. In developing this thought he said that his Govern- ment also had in mind that tripartite representations might be made in Moscow at the same time the declaration was issued and that the British representative in Peiping would also bring it to the attention of the Chinese Communist regime. Messrs. Hickerson and Rusk have reacted negatively to the French text and to the proposed demarche in Moscow and Peiping. Attachment as stated.
