MANDATE TO CONTINUE
SOUTH AFRICA’S DECISION SOUTH-WEST TERRITORY (N.Z.P. A.— Reuter—Copyright.) (10 a.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 10. The South African Government has notified the United Nations that it would not submit a trusteeship agreement covering the territory of SouthWest Africa but would continue to administer it in the spirit of the existing (League of Nations) mandate and would submit reports at intervals to the United Nations. The Government added that the territory would be given direct representation in the Parliament of the union as an integral part of it, but the Union would not proceed with the incorporation of the territory. The United Nations’ General Assembly last December rejected a South African proposal to annex the mandated territory of South-West Africa and called on the Union Government to submit the territory to the United Nations for trusteeship.
