Montreux Convention to arrest Russian pressure in this
area, I am inclined to doubt the wisdom of putting
forth anew your suggestion regarding internationalization
until the Russians have shown their hand.
If, however, you wish to go further at this time
we could add to the principles suggested for the revision
of the Montreux Convention the following:
"In the event of interference from any source with
the rights of passage guaranteed by the revised Convention,
the states parties thereto, including the United States, agree
to consult and take collective action within the frame-
work of the United Nations Organization to ensure the
enjoyment of such rights."
But if you wish to go this far, it probably would
be wise to consult with the Foreign Affairs Committee
of the Senate before making our suggestion. Mr. Dulles,
when I spoke to him on the way to London, was somewhat
wary about our undertaking a guarantee of passage in
waters SO far distant from our shores.
