State Department has not yet received confirmation from Military
Observers that hostilities have been resumed but from tone of
notes handed by Dutch to United States at The Hague and in
Washington, they assume United Press reports are correct. United
States Delegation in Paris has therefore been instructed to seek
meeting of Security Council on emergency basis not later than
Monday. Jessup has been recalled to Paris to handle the case.

What United States will propose to Council and what further steps
United States will take are under consideration. State Department
Official stated tonight that United States Delegation in Paris
would inform our Representative of latest attempts by United
States to dissuade Dutch from action they have now taken.
