Cablegram [UNY]341 CANBERRA, 8 November 1946
MOST IMMEDIATE SECRET
Your UN.632. [1] Minister is disappointed at complete lack of
support of Australia by South Africa both at Paris and United
Nations in relation to matters where we had every reason to expect
active co-operation.
2. It is correct that Minister expressed unwillingness to
embarrass Smuts and he will not do so. Without committing
ourselves to vote or active support we shall gladly avoid any
embarrassment.
