I hope these comments have been of interest and help to
you. I welcome an exchange of views with you but regretably I
must leave by eleven o'clock. My colleagues will, however, be
happy to continue the discussien tomorrow. We are certain that we
shall gain much from your vicws and, as I indicated at the outset,
we intend to continue this process of consultation.

I should like to sum-up with certain conclusions and
requests:
1)
first, in planning for the future, we must take an
overall view of the region as a whole, and the
inter-relationships within it. Thus, the restoration
of stable conditions within and between nations
would do the most to resolve the problem of refugees
and displaced persons. As a United Nations
programme, cur efforts are naturally directed towards
the harmonisation of relations between states.
second, it follows that we must help refugees and
displaced persons whereever they presently are in
all parts of the region. Else; there will be an
additional reason for problems to spill over frontiers.
third, the third-country resettlement numbers should
be so devised and announced
as to enable a balanced
movement from each country in this area; they should
provide the possibility for the switching of numbers
The announcement of numbers over according to need.

would clearly help in overall planning
and the pooling of opportunities.
