urging him to carry out the Plan. He will, tomorrow,

ask Mr. Struelens to discontinue his activities here,

following which he will by letter urge Tshombe along

similar lines.

even at the expense of having to close down their

the same.

Belgium has promised support with Belgian

companies involved.
