Memorandum of Conversation, by Mr. G. Hayden Raynor of the United States Delegation Staff of Advisers

confidential

[New York,] October 6, 1947.

I asked Mr. Cockram how firm he felt the British were in their support for Siam for the Trusteeship Council rather than the Philippines. I indicated to him our hope that the Philippines would be successful in getting this seat.

Mr. Cockram indicated there was some difference of opinion on this in the British Delegation and that he among others could not understand why they were supporting Siam rather than the Philippines. He will raise this matter with his Delegation.
