Though Chinese Communists had shown no interest in real negotiations at Warsaw, Dulles ordered U.S. Ambassador Jacob Beam to talk with them again this week. In Manhattan he consulted with Britain's Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd,*who gave a diplomatic dinner for Russian U.N.

If the bilateral talks fail, said Eisenhower, "there is still the hope that the United Nations could exert a peaceful influence...
