Editorial Note
The Trusteeship Council resumed its discussion of the Jerusalem question on February 6 and 8. Arab spokesmen objected to the Garreau Plan, which was denounced as cutting Jerusalem to pieces, and called for immediate preparation of the draft statute for the Jerusalem area within the framework of the resolution of December 9. At one point, in answer to the argument that the General Assembly decision for full internationalization could not be implemented, they suggested sanctions as a means of implementation. The Chinese Representative also expressed the view that the Garreau Plan fell far short of the resolution (telegrams 204 and 214, identified also as Tcdel 61 and 66, February 6 and 9, from Geneva, 350/2–650 and /2–950).
