priority
[Received December 2—11:26 a. m.]
3235. Depcirtel 221, December 1 discussed with Foreign Office this morning. Foreign Office states that its previous doubts over desirability GA consideration Chinese intervention in Korea were resolved yesterday and Jebb instructed vote in favor introducing vetoed six-power resolution into GA.
While Foreign Office not optimistic re recent indications Chinese delegation willing meet delegates other nations, it feels even slight hopes something helpful resulting from informal conversations should not be prejudiced and is therefore in no hurry to undertake formal action in GA. It feels that in any event there is not sufficient urgency warrant action before there is opportunity consider matter during or in connection with Attlee conversations.
