Aikman During the greater part of the Conference as many as ten Committees were held each day, and for the several delegations which, like our own, were modest in size it was no simple matter to take a continuous part in the deliberations of the Committees. Nevertheless, the energy and enthusiasm of those who were associated with me as the representatives of the New Zealand Government was such that we were able to play a full part in all discussions and decisions of moment. The New Zealand delegation was represented at every Committee meeting, and it was possible for me and for Mr. Berendsen, as the two delegates, to attend whichever meeting for the time being was the most important. The results of the long and arduous weeks spent in Committee work were embodied in the reports of the Rapporteur of each technical Committee to the relevant Commissions. The reports gave such information and explanations concerning the course of the Committee's discussions as were required. The discussions in the Commissions were of unequal length, but rarely exceeded two sessions for the report of any one Committee. In one or two cases only were amendments to the reports brought forward by the Committees moved in Commission. On the other hand, delegations, of which New Zealand was one, took the opportunity of the sessions of the Commissions to make public declarations explaining their attitude.
