N.Z. Urges Sympathetic Attitude To Ceylon: Suggestion Adopted
LONDON, Nov. 29. When the Political Committee of the United Nations in Paris discussed the admission of Ceylon the Prime Minister of New Zealand. Mr. P. Fraser, strongly urged the postponement of any decision. Mr. Fraser declared that there was no reason why Ceylon should become involved in disputes between other countries and urged the committee to adopt as helpful an attitude as possible. It was asserted, continued MrFraser, that the Soviet Union opposed (lie admission of Ceylon to the United Nations because the Soviet was not satisfied that sufficient data was available to establish Ceylon's sovereign and independent status. Mr. Fraser urged that if the committee agreed to postpone a decision on Ceylon’s application, this would give Ceylon an opportunity to provide the additional data required. The committee adopted the New Zealand suggestion and stood the matter down.
