The Ambassador in Sweden (Cabot) to the Department of State
160. In reply to representation made in conformity with Department’s instructions (Deptel 167, September 3)1 Foreign Minister pointed out to me that Sweden had always taken position that Communist China should be admitted to UN and that government could not now reverse its position even on basis of a procedural question. He mentioned that at Reykjavik meeting Denmark and Norway had shifted their positions towards favoring admission of Communist China.
British Ambassador informs me he has seen minutes of Reykjavik decision and that it is not so completely negative from our viewpoint as Unden and news reports indicate. Expect to get from him and transmit its substance.
