The feasibility of bringing the Palestine issue before a special session of the U.N. General Assembly prior to the regular session in September was discussed today by Sir Alexander Cadogan, British delegate to the United Nations Security Council, with Secretary General Trygve Lie.
Both the Secretariat of the United Nations and the British delegation refused to reveal the nature of the discussions between Sir Alexander and Mr. Lie. British sources admitted, however, that such a meeting took place and added that Sir Alexander was merely seeking advice “and nothing more.” It is understood that Mr. Lie had indicated on a previous occasion that the calling of a special session of the General Assembly would involve an expenditure of about $1,000,000.
