Your U.N.941. [1] This threatened exercise of the veto in a field
in which no such privilege exists is indefensible. To begin with,
the threat should not be taken seriously. If the Assembly were to
be in any way influenced by the Soviet threat of withdrawal in
this instance, the same threat would be used in other matters in
which the Soviet view was not accepted. You should strongly
support the case for San Francisco and in fact in the light of
this threat there should be increased rather than decreased
support from other members. [2]
