To - Indiadel, New York. DTO DEC 162300 IMMEDIATE No. PRIMIN 21563. For VIJAYALAKSHMI and KRISHNA MENON from Prime Minister. You will have received statement I made in Parliament here yesterday in answer to short notice question on our Korean Resolution. Later in the day we saw in the press text of CHOU EN-LAI' s reply to PEARSON. There is nothing new in this but only an insistence on arguments previously advanced. It is clear that there is NO chance of the Chinese Government changing its position in the near future. We had asked RAGHAVAN to discuss these matters with CHOU EN-LAI on lines you had suggested. We have had NO information from him about this matter. Please let us know what PEARSON or other Delegations propose to do now after receipt of Chinese reply. …… Prime Minister (4), PPS TO PM, Minister of Education, Minister of Defence, Minister of Home Affairs, Dy Minister, SG (2), FS (2), CS (2), DHD, JSE, JSAD, DS FEAWT, DSXP, SUPDT NGO BR, Cab Secy.
