1. Marshall stated to press men today that United States is
prepared to send mediators to Java if both parties agree. He added
that United States had laid down no conditions such as withdrawal
to positions held before outbreak of fighting. He disclaimed
knowledge of report that Leahy would lead mission of mediation. He
also observed that in offering mediation outside United Nations,
United States had to consider the precedent thus established but
declined to say whether U.S.A. would similarly umpire other
disputes.
