The explanation of our in clear telegram [1] was radio report you
were amending Soviet resolution. Politically this would have been
difficult. Your report [2] clears matter.

2. Agree result disappointing but it is only first round. We are
cabling Ottawa. You must be frank with them. They must know we are
well informed and have more background and are vitally concerned
and should help us.

3. We are also cabling Batavia. They are being asked to do
impossible things and Council has to be told by them to be
realistic and to stop dodging main issues.

4. Finally we will be cabling United States and United Kingdom,
the latter having failed to recognise British Commonwealth
interests in this area.

5. Press reported matter off Agenda. Your telegram contradicts
that. There is great danger interest and enthusiasm of United
States and others will now die. You should keep pressing larger
term strategic British Commonwealth and democratic interests which
may seem remote to them but which are very seriously affected.

6. Your 286. [3] Agree re Shann.

7. Please cable any information or suggestion you have to make
regarding advice to Washington, Ottawa, Batavia, London or
elsewhere. We are trying to co-ordinate all but cannot always
judge what can help best specially what you want contained Good
Office reports.
