- A copy of this document was delivered to Mr. Rusk at 10 a.m. on October 2 by messenger from Mr. Graves of the British Embassy and circulated in the Department of State on the following day. Also received and circulated was a similar note dealing with the question of Soviet reaction to developments in Korea. The latter document, not printed, concluded that, on balance, a crossing of the 38th parallel by U.N. forces would involve increased danger of a head-on clash with the Soviet Union, but stated that the Soviet leaders would probably not risk provoking a general war on this issue.
