Dulte 1. Eyes only for Acting Secretary from Secretary. My next numbered Dulte cable on China is strictly eyes only for you with no circulation of text whatever, although you may wish to inform orally Hoover and probably Robertson and Key; also I suggest Charlie Wilson be orally informed. I recommend proceeding along lines outlined following cable and if you concur in my recommendation, I suggest program be outlined to president and in strictest confidence to Lodge and that then Eden and I should here see New Zealand High Commissioner, following which detailed petition to Security Council could be developed at Washington or New York with New Zealand and U.K. delegates. Concurrently Taipei should be informed.
The reference cable has been seen by Eden. He concurs in it so far as he is concerned.
- Secretary Dulles was in London attending the Nine-Power Conference of Foreign Ministers, Sept. 28–Oct. 3; for documentation concerning this conference, see vol. v, Part 2, pp. 1294 ff.↩
