1. With reference to the resolution [1] of the Delhi Conference I
want to tell you for your confidential information that I have
sent a number of amendments and modifications [2] which apparently
did not reach Burton in time. He says that probably all would have
been acceptable. I am cabling you the substance of them for your
guidance as they might be useful for you in conversations with
Security Council Members.

2. I regard the Conference as of very great importance and as
being successful largely as a result of my own suggestion in
accepting United Nations principles, methods, and jurisdictions.

One important principle is reference to the General Assembly which
can and should be a revising authority where Security Council
action failed or has been inadequate. You will not give publicity
to the above but keep closely in mind.

3. I had previously instructed you [3] to try and ascertain prior
disclosures by the Dutch of military moves but no answer has been
received from you. Security Council action and Dutch acceptance
would be of great value and you are to work unceasingly to achieve
this objective.

4. I expect a personal report in reply.
