UNITED NATIONS
62 REPRESENTATIVES TO ATTEND ASSEMBLY
LONDON, October 18,
The Minister of State, Mr Noel Baker, before leaving' for Canada, reviewed the progress of the work of the executive committee of the United Nations Preparatory Commission. “ Whatever might have happened elsewhere the atmosphere of our meetings is continually growing more friendly,” he said. “ The reports of our proceedhave contained certain principles which are very important. They have gone' some distance towards getting rid of the handicap of national prestige as a factor in international debates.” Mr Baker added that the meetings of the full Assembly of the United Nations would be attended by representatives of 52 nations. He expected that Mr Ernest Bevin would lead the .British delegation. “ The United Nations Preparatory Commisison may or may not succeed in preventing war. I personally believe it will,” he added. “It will all be decided within a decade, and all questions of conflict and preparing for war will recede into the background if the decision is right.”
