Memorandum of Conversation, by the United Nations Adviser, Bureau of European Affairs (Allen)

confidential
[Washington,] January 7, 1954.
  • Subject:
  • Chinese Representation

Miss Salt confirmed that the UK Ambassador’s assurance to the Secretary January 4 that the moratorium arrangement would continue as to “subsidiary bodies” of the UN is meant to cover not only ECAFE and other subsidiary bodies, but also the Trusteeship Council, Security Council and Economic and Social Council, all of which have early scheduled meetings. She also stated that the Ambassador is again seeing the Secretary today to propose that, regarding the probable resumed session of the GA in February, we agree to a formula which would postpone the question for the duration of that portion of the session only. The Foreign Office is unwilling to agree to postponement until the 9th GA next September. (See my memo of conversation with Miss Salt of Dec. 29, 1953.)
