The British, the Americans, and the Canadians came for a drafting conference on the India-Pakistan dispute. At 12:15, left for Forest Hills, to attend Lie’s luncheon for the Big Five. Lie outlined that the Big Five should at times head up committees and assemblies, and that China should begin by accepting the chairmanship of the Special Session and then France, at the regular session. The other candidate is Arce of Argentina. I refused, saying that neither myself nor my government would wish for the honor. As to committee chairmanships, Lie suggested Hagglof【1】 for the 1st and Vilof【Vilfan?],【2】 the Yougoslav, the 4th Committee, the other committees being honorary at this session. Afternoon, conference on India-Pakistan: final drafting. Austin suddenly suggested that all political parties should be “equally” represented. It is simply frightful how the Americans change overnight. After some argument, “equitably” was used. At 6, attended a cocktail party of the Indian Ambassador.
U.S. Secretary of the Air says that the U.S.S.R. is building planes several times faster than the U.S.A. Is it true?
In regard to the chairmanship, the U.K. and France supported me, the U.S.S.R. acquiesced, the U.S.A. kept silent—trying for a Latin American candidate.
