"New Zealand voted against the resolution calling for the seating of
Communist China in the United Nations because the resolution also called
for the expulsion of the Government of the Republic of China in Taiwan,
said the Prime Minister (Right Hon. Sir Keith Holyoake) today. He has
been asked to explain the action taken by New Zealand in the voting at
the United Nations General Assembly on the resolution put forward by
Albania and others.

"New Zealand has long recognised the need to come to terms with the
situation in which a quarter of the world's population remains
unrepresented in the United Nations, said the Prime Minister. "I have
made it clear that we would like to see Communist China a member of the
United Nations, accepting the responsibilities and privileges which
participation in the world organisation entails.
"We have also stressed, however, that in our view this can be justly
brought about only if the 14 million people in Taiwan are assured of
continued representation in the United Nations.
"Ever since the 30's New Zealand has attached great importance to the
rights of small nations," the Prime Minister went on. "We have always
felt that the United Nations exists for the benefit of the weak rather
than of the strong. It follows that while we would like to see mainland
China in the United Nations, we would not like to see this achieved at
the expense of Taiwan"
"The intention of the Albanian resolution was precisely the opposite,"
Sir Keith pointed out. "The operative para- graph calls on the General
Assembly explicitly to expel forthwith the representatives of Chiang
Kai-Shek'.'
This provision was totally unacceptable from New Zealand's point of
view. "In terms of our traditional outlook we had no alternative but to
vote against it," said the Prime Minister.
This year, for the first time, more votes were cast in favour of the
Albanian resolution than against it but it was not adopted because the
Assembly had already decided that the question of Chinese representation
is an "important question" in terms of Article 18.2 of the Charter and
there- fore requires a two-thirds majority.

British Road Services Carlton Depot) Mr. Ron Lewis asked the Secretary
of State for Employment how many persons will be made redundant, as a
result of the closure of British Road Services' Carlton Depôt; what he
proposes to do to help them find alternative employment.
Mr. Dudley Smith: My information is that the British Road Services'
proposal to close down the haulage side of its activities at its Carlton
Depôt in Carlisle is likely to affect the jobs of 24 men and 2 women. I
understand that the run down is expected to begin early in the new year
and to extend over six months. My Department's local officers are in
close touch with the depôt and will be ready to give advice and
information about alter- native jobs to those who require our help.
CIVIL SERVICE

93. Miss Quennell asked the Minister for the Civil Service how many
Ministers and Departments in the Government pub- lish magazines and
journals; which Min. isters or Departments: how many per sonnel are
engaged on their preparation, full-time or part-time; and what is their
cost, carnings and circulation.
Mr. David Howell: A very wide range of journals are published by
Departments. It includes official departmental publica tions, specialist
and technical journals, statistical publications and house journals. I
regret that information about the num- ber, type, staffing, cost and
circulation of these journals is not centrally available and could only
be obtained at dispro- portionate costs,
Salaries
Mr. Arthur Lewis asked the Minister for the Civil Service whether he
will state for any stated grade of civil servant who was on a salary of
£3,250 per annum in October, 1964, the rate this man is receiv- ing at
the date of 24th November, 1970.
Mr. David Howell: In October, 1964, a salary of £3,300 was the scale
maximum of a senior chief executive officer and the scale minimum of an
Assistant Secretary. (These salary scales took effect from 1st January,
1964). As from 1st April, 1970,

course.
Mr. Anthony Royle: For many years we have supported the seating of the

the United Nations. We did so again this year.

Mr. Marten asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth
Affairs what tonnage of milk products per year was proposed for delivery

Community in early November.
Mr. Anthony Royle: Détails of the proposals made by Her Majesty's
Govern- ment to the European Communities about New Zealand dairy
products are con- fidential. We have asked for some form of continuing
arrangements, subject to review, in order that we can assess, the
position as we go along.
Mr. Marten asked the Secretary of Slate for Foreign and Commonwealth
Affairs what tonnage of sugar was pro- posed for delivery by each
country belonging to the Commonwealth' Sugar Agreement to the enlarged

The reader may be confused by the inclusion of the Byelorussian SSR and
the Ukrainian SSR (Section (ii)) in a list headed "Diplomatic
Relations". Although both of them have a seat in the United Nations
neither has diplomatic relations with any country, diplomatic relations
being the responsibility of the USSR.
A footnote might be added to explain why Byelorussia and the Ukraine are
shown as they are, in brackets. Alternatively they could be omitted from
Table 4, in which case a footnote of explaination might be added in the
relevent lists giving the record of voting in the UN.
2. In Section (iii) the inclusion of Cambodia under the heading of those
who have diplomatic relations with the CPR needs qualification. The CPR
now recognises Prince Sihanouk's "National United Front of Kampuchea" as
the government of Cambodia, and the Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia is
accredited to Sihanouk's government. The present Cambodian government
withdrew its diplomatic personnel from Peking in
May 1970 and the Chinese withdrew their diplomats from Phnom Penh at the
same time. Again, a footnote might be added to the effect that Cambodia
withdrew its diplomatic personnel from Chine in May 1970.
3. In Section (v), Burundi and Ghana are shown as States which have
diplomatic relations with neither the Nationalists nor the CPR. Both
however explicitly "suspended" relations with China. (Burundi in
January 1965; Ghana in October 1966). In Sections (iii) and (iv) they
should be placed in the third column and marked in the same way as
Indonesia and Tunisia to show that relations are in suspense.
4. Under Section (vii) "Non UN Members", the Holy See should be added to
those countries which have diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

PREFACE
On June 28th, 1970, U,N, Secretary-General U Thani visited San Francisco
to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the signing of the
Charter. During the course of his peccbes on that day, U Thant made a
strong plea "for the early involve- ment of the People's Republic of
China in the activities of the world Organisation", China, he said, was
a key element" in the effort to solve the world's many problems, and its
absence had given the United Nations "a great deal of artificiality", ()
The purpose of this Monograph is to give the facts about efforts to deal
with the representation of China in the Security Council and the General
Assembly of the U.N., but I should state at the outset that I take the
same view as the Secretary-General, The absence of China from the U.N.
and its agencies more than twenty years after the establishment of the
People's Republic becomes more absurd with the passage of time, I would
not pretend that it will be easy to create conditions in which China
will wish to take her sent in the main U.N, organs. Moreover, it cannot
be denied that China's participation in the work of the Security Council
and other U.N. organs and agencies, and the appointment of men and women
from the malaland of China to the international secretariats, will
introduce substantial problems into the operation of the U.N. system. An
examination of these problems lies outside the scope of the present
study, but it is my conviction that it la necessary that the problems
should be faced now. What le to be gained from evasion and delay ?
There is one further introductory comment. The question of Chinese
representa- tion in the U.N, is in one sense simple and straightforward;
but in the course of twenty years it has become entangled with other
questions. I doubt whether the matter can now be resolved simply by a
vote in the General Assembly. What in needed le a patient but determined
diplomatic effort.
