291. Editorial Note

On October 24–25, British Prime Minister Macmillan and Foreign Secretary Lloyd met in Washington with President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles. Their talks covered the full range of mutual interests, including China. Among the agreements reached during the course of the talks was an agreement by the British not to seek or support, without prior agreement with the United States, any change in the representation of China in the United Nations. It was confirmed in a similar exchange of letters between Lloyd and Dulles, October 25 and 29, scheduled for publication in the compilation on United States relations with the United Kingdom in a forthcoming volume.
