Cablegram 290 CANBERRA, 3 October 1947, 4.40 p.m.
MOST IMMEDIATE SECRET
You will have heard that Dr. Frank Graham has been appointed
American representative on Committee of Three. This removes one
reason adduced by American and Belgian Consuls against need for
speed in completing report. [1] The fact that American officers
are not attached to Consular Commission and that joint military
report was not asked for by Security Council and many cases need
not await their conclusions should also be used to resist further
delay.
