Seoul, August 5, 1953—9 p.m.

Dulte 11. Re Tedul 6. Agree you inform Prince Wan soonest. You should offer Thailand ECOSOC or Trusteeship Council. Do not approve giving our support to Thailand for Security Council. Lodge and I believe current threat to Thai position makes her risky candidate for Security Council. Believe you should move ahead with the Turk candidacy for the Greek seat on SC.
