 Korea
   MR. ACHESON noted that the UN delegations of the three countries
lhad been in constant consultation on the Korean question and were
-agreed upon the course to be followed in the U.N.2 Unless there were
questions to be raised, it seemed unnecessary to discuss the issue
further.
   MR. BEVIN said that at a later time the United Kingdom wished to
 discuss the attitude to be taken toward the Syngman Rhee government,
 but there was no need to raise the issue now.3
