The Deputy United States Representative at the united Nations (Wadsworth) to the Department of State
151. Regarding Turk SC candidacy, reference Department telegram 87, yesterday during translation in Security Council meeting, I spoke with Crosthwaite (United Kingdom) closely following arguments set forth reference telegram. He felt essence their original question still unanswered, unless key words were “firm support”. He suggested this meant we would do more than simply vote for Turkey. I agreed, with limitation that United States would not wave flags and beat drums for Turkey, nor do all work necessary to assure her success.
