the people of Pakistan to the International community for its Imediate
response to the dire need of the people of Baat Pakistan vho vere
stricken

For the promptness of the relief assistance rendered and for its size,
we cannot but express our deepest appreciation to the United States and
the United Kingdom. Ambassador Bayülken of Turkey channelled the

of Pakistani, I could also mention the great nazy delegations which have

would
take me too long and I should like to conclude, therefore, by extanding

The United States is pleased that the General Assembly
has reaffirmed that the issue of China's representation in
the United Nations is an important question, and the reso-
lution which sought to expel the Republic of China has again
failed to obtain the votes necessary for passage.
We note,
of course, that there is much sentiment in the UN in favor of
