549. Fol for your info to be used at your discretion in any conversations you may have with FonMin or appropriate officials re Korea:
Ross Dep US Rep UNSC informed Dept this afternoon that in conversation between UN Official and Jacob Malik USSR Rep to UN, latter had spoken of US action re Korea as “19th century imperialism”. Against this background Malik interpreted non-participation of Egypt and India in SC vote night of 27th as refusal on part of Asiatic states to “knuckle under US domination”. We believe Malik is undoubtedly taking this line generally.
