Please pass following urgently to Hodgson. [1] Begins.

In view of voting, your report [2] which only reached me 26th
December, you should, I think, make another attempt to secure
order for withdrawal and for this purpose Malik's support for

your report it seems that United Kingdom also supports this view.

If you could get Malik and Jessup favourable, it might not be too
late to prevent decision which in actual operation might be
serious blow threatening authority of Security Council and U.N.
