OUR TELNO 574: BRITISH COMMUNITY IN UGANDA 1. WE HAVE SPOKEN AGAIN THIS MORNING TO THE QUA I D'ORSAY. THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE SENT A TELEGRAM TO KAMPALA AGREEING WITH M REWARD'S ADVICE THAT. MODERATION IS NEEDED AND THAT IT WOULD BE BEST NOT TO TAKE ANY ACTION FOR THE MOMENT. THE QUA I EXPRESSED SOME DOUBTS ABOUT SEEKING CLARIFICATION OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT IF THERE HAD BEEN NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS BY FRIDAY. THEY THOUGHT THAT IN THE PRESENT SITUATION THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR CONTINUING TO LIE LOW AND NOT PROMPTING THE UGANDANS INTO TAKING A MORE EXTREME POSITION. IN ANY EVENT, THE QUA1 THOUGHT THAT AN ENQUIRY ABOUT THE LENGTH OF THE RESTRICTION MIGHT SIMPLY RESULT IN A NIL RETURN. SINCE THERE MAY BE FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE COURSE OF THE NEXT TOO DAYS, THEY AGREED THAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS QUESTION AGAIN TOMORROW. 2. WE HAVE ALSO EXPLAINED TO THE QUAI OUR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED INCIDENT INVOLVING A BRITISH MILITARY AIRCRAFT. r* — "i HENDERSON |JE>£-<iv$io»4 ft£.Pg.rvn=-3> fts RE-Que.sr&.i> To orne/?. fiosrs J S £ w l T O f^o »o CDOWNHN/^ S T l C O N S E-tA Ot-» \T C- t\ X\UlnV.K IT3"i a. n
