Your UN.572. [1] Vote for India, Belgium, and Colombia in place of
Egypt, Netherlands, and Mexico. The Latin American vote is
important, and support for Colombia should go along with support
by Latin American bloc for Australia on Economic and Social
Council next year. We should stand for election to Economic and
Social Council this year if this could be done without prejudice
to New Zealand. India's appointment to Security Council would put
an end to idea that only one member of British Commonwealth can be
on Security Council at same time. The same applies to Economic and
Social Council. Both Australia and New Zealand have good claim for
election. We do not accept any understanding that non-permanent
members of the Security Council cannot be members of both Councils
simultaneously.
