TREATMENT OF INDIANS
U.N. Vote Against South Africa
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 11 p.m.) NEW YORK. Nov. 12. The United Nations Special Political Committee today adopted a resolution which “regretted” that South Africa had not begun negotiations with India and Pakistan to settle their dispute about the treatment of Indians in the Union. The resolution, which will now go to the General Assembly for its action, was adopted by a rollcall vote of 63 to none, with 14 abstentions. The resolution would also have the General Assembly make a new appeal to South Africa to begin talks with India and Pakistan. The committee has been discussing complaints by India and Pakistan about South Africa’s treatment of people of Indian origin in the Union for the twelfth consecutive year.
Australia and New Zealand both abstained in the voting on the resolution. The Union of South Africa was absent.
