1. Philippine bid for Pacific union--The Department of
State has been informed that Philippine UN representa-
tive Romulo has issued an invitation to eight Pacific
and Southeast Asian countries to meet during March 1950
"to ascertain whether agreement could be reached" on
a non-Communist regional association limited to political,
cultural, and economic affairs. According to Romulo,
Burma, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Thailand have already
indicated their willingness to attend the meeting; Australia,
New Zealand, Ceylon, and India were also invited. Mean -
while,the Department has learned that although New Zealand
would be interested in a Pacific security pact which in-
cluded the US and the UK, the New Zealand Government
"does not look with favor" on Romulo's projected organiza-
tion,
