814 min * ARCHIVES AMD NATIONAL RECORDS 99 of SERVICE'* CONFIDENTIAL April 9, 1951. MEMORANDUM OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATION Between Secretary and Mr. Short. M r. Short telephoned Secretary Acheson and said there was a story out of London that the British and the United States have agreed on a new Far Eastern policy and it is going to be announced in Parliament. The Secretary said that so far as he knew there was absolutely nothing to it. He verified this with Mr. Rusk who was in the room at the time. He said that in talks which had been going on between the British and us there was nothing new. Mr. Short asked if the statement that had been discussed prior to the MacArthur statement that he was going to try to consult the field commander had been antedated, and whether there was a new statement being considered. The Secretary said he thought the previously considered statement was antedated, but there was no new statement. Mr. Short asked the Secretary if he thought there was something going on in London, and, if so, whether we could find out about it. The Secretary said he would try to discover what the London story was about. DECLASSIFIED E.
