Dear to stable
Thank you for your letter of 15th January.
You ask three questions. On the first, the Malaysian Government are aware that small numbers of American servicemen receive training from time to time at the British Jungle Warfare School in their country, and they have agreed to this.

On the second, I think you would agree that the one thing that the debate at the Party Conference made clear was the deepfelt wish of the Government in common with all other sections of the Labour movement, that the war in Vietnam should be ended as soon as possible. But it is not surprising if there are differences of view as to the best practical way of making progress. The Foreign Secretary emphasised at the Conference the importance of our maintaining our position of influence with the various parties concerned in the war. This is vital to the achievement of our central aim and duty as co-Chairman of the Geneva Conference, to bring the parties to the conference table; as I pointed out in my last letter to you, the Prime. Minister has made it clear that "everything else will be subordinate to that aim".
