DEPARTMENT OF STATE
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
WASHINGTON
January 16, 1950
SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
JAPANESE
In a message transmitted by Embassy Colombo UK
PEACE TREATY
Foreign Minister Bevin has informed the Secretary
that the Colombo Conference has decided that the
members of the Commonwealth will coordinate their views on the
substance of the Japanese peace treaty through a working party to
be set up in London which will be confined to members of the Common-
wealth and will consist of High Commissioners supported by experts.
These discussions will be designed to work out an agreed policy and
to avoid any risk of a split within the Commonwealth concerning which
we had been disturbed. Bevin added that he would keep the Secretary
informed of developments.
KASHMIR
Ambassador Austin at the UN in New York has deliver-
ed to the Indian Ambassador, Madame Pandit, and to
the Indian Secretary General of External Affairs, Sir Girja Bajpai,
the Secretary views on the Kashmir problem. The Indian representa-
tives were told that: 1) we have concluded that the serious deteri- -
oration of Indo-Pakistan relations requires earlier visible progress
toward Kashmir settlement than India envisages and that the most
reassuring move would be agreement on a program of demilitarization
of Kashmir; 2) we consider it essential that discussions with McNaughton
be continued in New York until agreement is reached and therefore
urge India to reconsider its position; and 3) should India terminate
McNaughton's efforts despite the fact that Pakistan has accepted his
proposals, we would support in the Security Council McNaughton's
present or future proposals and in the light of his recommendations
would support Security Council action necessary to overcome the
present deadlock.
AUSTRIAN
We have instructed Embassy Moscow, in coordination
TREATY
with the French and British, to approach Vyshinski
on the subject of the Austrian treaty. Our approach
should be in the form of an oral demarche and an aide memoire and
should be designed to obtain assurances that negotiations will be
continued on the basis of previous agreements without further obsta-
cles or a flat Soviet refusal to continue negotiations. We wish to
avoid detailed discussion with Vyshinski and do not wish to give an
impression that we are overeager or willing to make further concessions.
