UN

TRUSTEESHIP

Lake Success, Apr. 18.-A short-term United Nations trusteeship over the former Italian colonic in Libya and Somaliland, on the lines of the Soviet plan, was proposed to the Political Committee today by Sir Moham- med Zafrullah Khan, chief Pakistan delegate.

The main outlines of Sir Mohammed's propo- sals, which diplomatic observers believed represent general Arab opinion, were:

(1) Preserve the unity of Cyrenalen, Tripolitania and Fezzan under a five-year United Nations trusteeship, after which the whole of Libya would gain independence.

(2) Somaliland should have n

trusteeship administration for 10 years, after which it should be granted independence. (3) The United Nations administration for these nreas should be assisted by an Advisory Coun- cil of nine members, consisting of representa- tives of Britain, Russia, the United States, France, Italy, the European and indigenous other Middle populations, Egypt and Eastern state.

As A Nation

NO ENTANGLEMENTS OR TIES WITH ANY COUNTRY SAYS MR COSTELLO

Dublin, Apr. 18.-The Republic of Ireland now "stands alone as a nation," Mr John Costello, the Prime Minister of Eire, declared at a press conference here this afternoon, "We have no alliances, entanglements or ties with any country in the world, but are to be reckoned with now as an independent State, however small we are." Mr Costello continued: "Until partition goes, we cannot give the full contribution we could give in economic and military co-operation in the defence of peace."

Mr Costello said the Eire Government would be prepared to allow the people of Northern Ireland to retain their present powers of government, provided that the powers of defence and foreign affairs were in the hands of an All-Ireland Government.

The productive capacity of the whole country would also have to be integrated under a central authority, but this was clearly impossible while parli- tion lasted, because the parti- loned six North-Eastern Coun- tries contained the country's principal heavy Industries, Reuter.
