After discussion with Prime Minister I feel I should tell you that
he is strongly of opinion that discussions on cease fire cannot be
allowed to drag on. He feels that the Committee should announce to
both parties a time limit of say one week or so and that if no
solution has been reached by that time Committee should report
matter back to Security Council.

2. You will now have received Dr. Evatt's interpretation of 1st
November resolution [1], which should assist in bringing pressure
on the Dutch under threat that reference back to Security Council
will show them clearly in the wrong.
