Editorial Note
The United Nations Security Council met on September 11 from 3:00 to 6:35 p. m.; for the record, see U.N. document S/PV.499. After prolonged discussion, the Council voted on the Soviet draft resolution (S/1759) calling for an invitation to representatives of the People’s Republic of China to sit in on sessions dealing with the “Complaint of bombing by air forces of the territory of China.” The resolution failed of adoption for lack of seven affirmative votes. The vote was six in favor (France, India, Norway, U.S.S.R., United Kingdom, and Yugoslavia) to three opposed (China, Cuba, and United States), with two abstentions (Ecuador and Egypt).
