Memorandum of Conversation, by Mr. G. Hayden Raynor of the United States Delegation Staff of Advisers
Trusteeship Council Election. I asked Mr. Cockram if the British had changed their position on this matter and if they would now be willing to vote for the Philippines. He replied that they had not changed to that extent but that they were now reconciled to the election of the Philippines. In answer to my inquiry, Mr. Cockram indicated that this meant they would not campaign actively from here on against the Philippines.
[Here follows brief comment between the two advisers regarding voting by the new Dominions of India and Pakistan.]
