secret

871. Foreign Office is outlining to British missions position in UN which adhered closely to points outlined in Embtel 634, February 3 in regard to British thinking on Chinese representation and Soviet walkouts.

It is likewise being stated that it is believed likely that following Peking Govt’s telegrams to SYG naming representatives to SC and ECOSOC he [Secretary-General] may submit report to SC indicating credentials of Chinese Communists apparently in order. Should a motion approving such a report be introduced in SC British would feel compelled to cast affirmative vote.
