confidential

Washington, December 13, 1952—3:45 p.m.

Gadel 99. Re Membership (Delgas 358 and 359):

1. Dept agrees your present plan submit separate res on Japan if this is what Japan wants.

2. Dept cld not support draft res of Peru or draft res of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, and we hope both will be referred to Special Comite and not put to vote.

3. Re suggested composition of Special Comite contained in draft res of all central American states, Dept believes Thailand or Philippines shld be represented and suggests one of them be substituted for Egypt, or if this is not feasible, be added as additional member. Hope GADel can encourage this change.
