Morning, Indonesia. Introduced a resolution asking Committee of Good Offices to pay particular attention to West Java and Madura and report thereon at frequent intervals. Austin immediately supported it. Justice Kirby gave it his blessing. So did Belgium. Vote: 8 for and 3 abstentions. When Chairman wished to put Colombian amendment to a vote, Lopez chose to make a long, pointless, but heated speech, lasting 40 minutes. We were all hungry and angry. The amendment was lost. The Canadian main resolution was passed by 7 for and 4 abstentions. It was nearly 3. Took Sze Pao 【蔣居仁] to lunch. Made a broadcast to China. Returned to the city at 4. Bruno Shaw came to chat about an article on the legend of communist democracy. Evening, Hsiao 【蕭蘧] came to dinner. N. S. 【鄭寶南] brought two Americans in for bridge.
After lunch, saw Austin, Graham, Mills, and X at lunch in the same cafeteria. Graham beckoned to me, and said. “Senator, tell Dr. Tsiang what you just told us.” “I was saying,” Austin answered, “that you were the wisest of us all.”
