Australia would be represented by Dr. Evatt. Mr. Fraser said that while en route to London he would see Mr. Chifley. He had been informed that the Prime Minister of South Africa would also be unable to be' present owing to nressure of domestic matters and Parliamentary business, and South Africa would be" represented by Mr. Eric Lowe, the Minister of Mines and Economic Affai_rs.
