Memorandum from Assistant Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs to Secretary of State for External Affairs
	Ottawa, February 25th, 1948
BURMA'S APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE UNITED NATIONS
The attached lettert of February 6 from Mr. Wrong states that the new Burmese Ambassador to the United States, U So Nyun, will he going to New York shortly to call on members of the Security Council with a view to enlisting their support for Burma's application for membership in the United Nations. Burma has, I think, a sufficient degree of independence to warrant our supporting its application for membership. The special rights which the United Kingdom possesses in Burma under the Burma-United Kingdom Treaty of 1947, arc not as extensive as those it possesses in Transjordan or in Iraq. Therefore, if you agree, I shall inform General McNaughton that he can support Burma's application for membcrship.⁴ E[SCOTT] R[EID] ⁴L'autorisation fut envoyé par te télégramme 248 du 1^er mars; le Conseit de sécurité recommanda l'approbation de l'admission l^er 10 avril. Authorization was sent in Telegram 248 of I March; Security Council recommended approval of admission on April 10.
