Editorial Note

Consideration of the question of Chinese representation in the United Nations in the context of the May meeting in London of Foreign Ministers is scheduled for publication in volume III. An understanding was reached at this meeting that the three governments would keep in close touch concerning United Nations matters through the permanent missions at New York. There were however no significant developments at the United Nations prior to the outbreak of hostilities in Korea on June 25.

For a statement about Chinese representation on June 7 by Secretary of State Acheson, in the course of remarks about Secretary-General Lie’s visit to Moscow, see Department of State Bulletin, June 26, 1950, page 1050.
