the Japanese Treaty. Its support of the Treaty, it should be noted,
however, was made possible by the Security Treaty concluded between
the United States, Australie and New Zealand at San Francisco on
September 1, 1951, which, in the eyes of the public, balanced the
omission of security safeguards in the Japanese Treaty. The
Security Treaty, which is now in effect, received the support of
all parties in the Australian Parliament.
It is suggested that in the course of your conversation with
the Prime Minister you may wish to refer to the following two
subjects, background material on which is attached:
Security Treaty between Australia, New Zealand and
the United States. Australia attaches a great deal of
importance to this Treaty both because of its security
guaranty and because of the opportunity which it will
afford, in the Pacific Council established by the
Treaty, for consultation with the United States. The
Pacific Council consists of the Foreign Ministers of
the three countries. Recently, we gave the Australian
and New Zealand Ambassadors notes setting forth our
views on the organization of the Council, and we are
now awaiting their replies.
Recommendation: That you express satis-

Treaty and the confidence of this Government
that it will contribute to the strengthening
of security in the Pacific and of our rela-
tions with Australia.
Australian Contribution to U.N. Forces in Korea.
Australia has had air, naval and land forces in Korea
from the beginning of hostilities. Prime Minister
Menzies, you will recall, exchanged several messages
with you during 1951 on the subject of an increase
in Australian ground forces in Korea. In October
1951 Mr. Menzies informed you in a personal message
that an additional infantry battalion would be sent to
Korea in early 1952, thus doubling the Australian ground
force. Considering that Australia has a population of
just over 8,000,000, its U.N. contribution has been most
gratifying.
Recommendation: That you tell the Prime
Minister we were pleased by the decision of
