3. SwtpZ to San Francisco as UN site indicated--According to Austin, a UK
delegate thinks it very likely that the General Assembly will decide to
locate the UN site in San Francisco." Austin adds that a US Delegation
survey among Near Eastern and African delegations disclosed that most
cif them "could easily be induced to vote for San Francisco." The USSR,
however, recently indicated its preference for Westchester, .

tiate a bilateral air agreement is considering permitting Soviet aircraft
to land at Copenhagen while Danish planes would only go to Memel. The
Legation points out that this agreement would "go much further" than
the recent Swedish-Soviet agreement and urges a joint US-British "pro-
test" to Denmark against any agreement lacking reciprocal rights.

1. China concerned over reparations delay--
informed Stuart of plans lor me n . m assn or
xn Washington to ascertain informally US reaction to a new formula for
settling Japanese reparations, in the event that the "reparation deadlock"
is not broken. Ambassador Stuart believes that this informal action by
the Chinese culminates their "growing concern over the manner in which
Japan is progressing politically and economically, and the dawning reali-
zation that delay in reparations settlement is working disadvantageously
for China," Under the new formula, China would (a) abandon claims
against Soviet expropriations in Manchuria, (b) agree to the Soviet pro-
posal to consider only assets in Japan as available for reparations, and
(c) in return, secure Soviet support on a tentative arrangement for shar -
ing reparations as well as "some separate. , concession such as Soviet
renunciation of southern Manchuria railway rights."

4. losive relations between Indians and South Africans E2ported- -Indian

Indians and South Africans are "very explosive," and that India would
press for a. full UN hearing on treatment of its nationals rather than ac-
cept a compromise referring the case to the International Court of Justice.
