Pearson, Begins: Last evening Sir Gladwyn Jebb showed me a telegram addressed to him from the Foreign Secretary, outlining the decision reached at the Prime Ministers meeting as to the course which should now be followed in regard to Korean and Far Eastern negotiations.
Jebb, however, has interpreted the message as meaning negotiations begin before a cease-fire is agreed, and has indicated as much to the Americans, whose reaction was one of amazement.
Sir Benegal Rau has given the message another interpretation, but one which is close to Jebb's, namely, that the outstanding questions which the four powers are to consider will include the negotiation of a cease-fire, as well as a negotiation of political problems.

There are urgent memos in the Foreign Office archives from Gladwyn Jebb, then provisional Secretary-General, pleading with the Ministry of Works to unbrick the windows of Church House before the crucial inaugural meetings.
According to Jebb's assistant, Brian Urquhart, a typical scene in those first days involved 'the three doors of the office opening to admit, respectively, two London char-ladies, a consignment of typewriters, and the Foreign Minister of Yugoslavia'.
Yet despite the practical difficulties and the exhaustion caused by six years of war, every account of the UN's foundation in 1945 reverberates with a sense of energy, idealism and new hope.

The United States and the United Kingdom, following the course of intervention in the internal affairs not only of Kashmir, but also of India and Pakistan, are trying to impose their own plans and wills on them, using the question of so-called United Nations troops as a weapon of flmail and intimidation.
The joint draft resolution submitted to the Security Council by the United States and the United Kingdom on November 6 and the explanatory statements by the United Kingdom representative Sir Gladwyn Jebb and the United States representative Mr Gross, are eloquent on this point.
Apparently the authors of this resolution have no great hopes of its 'success' and have had to resort to their favourite method, intimidation, using in this case the proposal to send United Nations troops into the territory of Kashmir.
