Memorandum by the Adviser, United States Delegation, United Nations General Assembly (Jacobs) to the Secretary of State, at Paris1
The officials of the New Government at Seoul are very much upset over developments in China and appear to be somewhat terrified over the thought of the withdrawal of United States troops.
I am attaching the texts of two telegrams which the Chief of the Korean Delegation has received from Seoul on this subject, together with the text of a message which he despatched yesterday to President Rhee.2
[Page 1334]I am bringing the matter to your attention on the eve of your departure for Washington because I believe that the question of either delaying the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops or the leaving of a larger military advisory group in Seoul after withdrawal of troops, will be raised in Washington soon.
