Cablegram P290 CANBERRA, 23 December 1948
IMMEDIATE CONFIDENTIAL
We have not received your report [1] but it is disturbing to find
from the press an adjournment without a vote taken. You will
recall that, when we raised the matter originally, the aim was to
call for a vote without debate on the question of cease-fire, and,
when Council meets again, you should move closure and insist on
immediate vote. Minister's telegram of 20th [2] has just been
received and, in relation to this, see last sentence of paragraph
5.
