The British Chargé (Campbell) to the Secretary of State
2634/6/43
His Majesty’s Chargé d’Affaires presents his compliments to the Secretary of State and has the honour to state that His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom are much interested in ensuring the participation of the International Labour Office in an appropriate manner in the work of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration.
2. His Majesty’s Government would not wish at this stage to express any precise view as to the method in which the collaboration of the International Labour Office should be formalised, particularly as the subject of participation by existent international bodies in post-war relief and reconstruction work is to be discussed at Moscow. They would however suggest that at the first meeting of the Council the delegates should be given the opportunity of considering the whole subject of the participation of other international bodies in the work of the Relief Administration. With this object consideration of the question might form one of the early items on the agenda of that meeting.
