Editorial Note
The United Nations Security Council held its 525th meeting on Monday, November 27, from 3 to 6:15 p. m.; for the record, see U.N. document S/PV.525.
The President of the Council, Ales Bebler of Yugoslavia, proposed that two items be considered together: Complaint of armed invasion of Taiwan (Formosa) and complaint of aggression upon the Republic of Korea. After prolonged discussion of the question, provoked by the objection of the Soviet Representative (Malik) to combining these two items on the agenda, the Council, by a vote of 7 to 1 (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), with 3 abstentions (Ecuador, Egypt, and India), rejected a Soviet amendment to Mr. Bebler’s proposal.
Before the adjournment of the meeting, the representative of the People’s Republic of China, Wu Hsiu-chuan, took a place at the Council table.
