2. US position concerning UN seating of Chinese Communists--
The US delegation at the UN reports from New York that
several countries have expressed confusion concerning the
US position on the seating of Chinese Communists in the
UN. The delegation says that despite several reaffirmations
of the US position that each government should make its own
decision in the light of its own circumstances, certain countries
are puzzled by what they regard as an ambiguous position as
contrasted with a previous US attitude favoring a vote against
the seating of the Chinese Communists, The Egyptian delegate
has expressed the view that the US cannot escape its responsi-
bility for leadership and should not leave the smaller countries
to make this decision. The US delegation urgently requests
instructions concerning the problem.
