1. US stand on Saar issue--The Department of State has ad-
vised US Embassy Paris that Secretary Acheson's recent
statement on the Saar means unequivocally that the US
supports French claims for political detachment of the
Saar from Germa .y and financial-economic integration of

life of the Saar, such as the current French proposal to
lease.mines from the Saar Government on a 50-year basis,
is subject to US -UK consultation. The Department notes
the 6'pressing urgency" of drawing Germany closer into

excite nationalistic feelings in Germany and thus retard
improvement of Franco-German relations,"'

USSR would never recognize the new members as UN
members and (b) to the "conceivable" possibility that

the USSR might leave the UN. Concerning the specific ap?
placation of Indonesia, which the delegation presumes will
be filed shortly, the US representatives estimate that if the
US at present neither fosters nor opposes Indonesian mem-
ber?ship aspirations, the matter will then die.
