UNO Interference In Colonies Opposed
LONDON, Sun. (10 a.m.) — Britain, at a special United Nations Colonial Committee meeting at Geneva on September 2, will continue to oppose any suggestion that the United Nations has any right of control or supervision over the British Colonial Empire. The statement said the only specific obligation which the colonial powers have undertaken towards the United Nations was to send information regarding economic, social and educational conditions in the territories for which they are responsible/
Certain United Nations delegations had since tried to carry the United Nations Assembly towards establishment of supervision over colonial administration. The Colonial Office statement concluded: “Not only is there no' warrant for intervention in the United Nations’ Charter, but the colonial peoples themselves would resent interposition between the colonies and the Mother Country of an international political' assembly which bears no direct responsibility for the outcome of its decisions.
