Your P.298. [1]

1. Paragraph 2. We have been in contact throughout but it should
be remembered that with the Argentine, China, Ukraine, and United
Kingdom, Canada is represented by an alternate [2] unfamiliar with
the case and therefore closely bound to instructions. Direct
approach in Ottawa therefore much more likely to produce results.

2. Paragraph 4. Reference to United Kingdom not properly
understood as they supported both the cease-fire, withdrawal and
stop-gap Canadian proposal.

3. Paragraph 5. Matter not entirely withdrawn and likely to be
discussed again tomorrow and later in the week as reports come in
from G.O.C. Do not consider that United States of America likely
to lose interest as Jessup is very disturbed by the incompleteness
of council action to date. The United Kingdom must continue to
support the withdrawal if proposed again after their vote last
week. 4. Paragraph 7. SECRET. Likely to Produce positive results
in the Council if G.O.C. were able to report as soon as possable
as follows.

A. Effect on the strength of the position of the Rebublic in
relation to the
Netherlands of the cease-fire without a withdrawal.

B. Practicability of withdrawal.

C. Impossibility of observance of even a cease-fire without
observers in the field.

D. Extent of Dutch compliance with the cease-fire order (which was
of immediate effect) if it was possible to assess this under the
circumstances.

E. Concrete suggestions as to the action the Council might take at
once-
(1) to make its clear condemnation of the Dutch effective by
preservation of the Republic as a unit, and
(2) to embark on steps for a settlement of the dispute possibly by
giving greater powers to G.O.C.
