1. REVISION OF UN RESOLUTION ON CHINESE
representation suggested:
British UN delegates reported to Am-
bassador. Wadsworth on 10 August
that the Foreign Office has suggested
altering the moratorium formula on
inese representation in the UN. The formula as al-
tered would read, "The General Assembly decides that
the time has not yet come to consider" the issue, instead
of the usual "The General Assembly decides not to con-
sider.,,
The British feel that this proposed
change would prevent the Scandinavian and Arab-Asian
countries which have supported the moratorium in the
past from opposing it in the forthcoming General Assem-
bly. According to the British, any loss in votes for the
moratorium might have an "unfortunate psychological
effect:
Comment The moratorium proposal, which
postpones substantive consideration
of the Chinese representation issue, has maintained the
support of over 40 of the 60 UN members each year since
1950. The opposition, however, has been gradually pick-
ing up votes
The suggested revision reflects the
official British view that the time is approaching when
Peiping must be admitted to the UN.

3. PAKISTAN'S new cabinet:
Acting Governor General lskander
Mirza and Prime Minister Chaudri
Mohammad All have chosen a cabi-
net they can easily dominate.
Serious doubts are already being
raised as to the ability of Chaudri Mohammad Ali, who
has been in poor health for several years, to carry out
the job of prime minister, The only new minister with
significant political following is 87-year-old Fazlul Huq,
whose United Front Party controls East Pakistan. Huq
is eccentric and personally ineffective but will probably
attempt to obtain increased autonomy for East Pakistan
as the price of his co-operation.
For the first time in several years,
a Hindu minister, Kamini Kumar Dutta, has been in-
cluded in the cabinet, apparently to secure the support
of the important minority group in East Pakistan.
H. S. Suhrawardy, leader of the
Awami League, will be in opposition to the government
despite attempts to get him to join the cabinet as deputy
prime minister. His popular appeal and political skill
will make the task of the new government doubly diffi-
cult.

4. TENSION COYER GOA may bring violence on 15 August:
Rising tension.between Portugal and
India and reports that 5,000 Indians
have already assembled near the
border of Goa have increased the pos-
sibility of serious trouble occurring
on 15 August, the anniversary of
India's independence
The chief of staff of the Portuguese
army has arrived in Goa, and Lisbon has reportedly
warned New Delhi that India will be held responsible for
any violence.
The situation has been aggravated by
India's equivocal position. Although New Delhi has re-
fused to authorize the marches on Goa planned for 15
August and insists it favors only "peaceful,, methods, it
has not indicated that it will use police or troops to stop
the marchers as it did last year. The British Foreign
Office believes that Nehru cannot afford to be less nation-
alistic than extremist groups agitating the problem, and
that. New Delhi therefore will almost certainly permit the
marches on 15 August. .
