The Chargé in China (Clark) to the Secretary of State
Cantel 970. Acting Foreign Minister George Yeh told me in strictest confidence this morning that Government is considering raising [Page 146] with UN, as threat to world peace, flagrant Soviet violation of letter and spirit Sino-Soviet treaty. There is much opinion in Government, he said, that Government, having publicly taken position Soviet violations, move would be good one.
Although he did not specifically ask for Department’s reaction this contemplated move, he asked me to report to him orally and in confidence any reaction thereto I might receive. In other words, he would like to know what we think of it.
