158. Let us continue to address ourselves also to another decolonization problem: the fate of small inviable colonial and Trust Territories. In this connexion, I repeat my Prime Minister's proposal of last year that a Committee should be set up to study possible terms of their association with the United Nations. 159. In closing, I should like to express the gratitude of my delegation to the staff members of the United Nations for their untiring service in the cause of peace. In particular, I wish to place on record the high appreciation of the Government and people of Jamaica to Dr. Ralph Bunche, who, for the first time that I can recall in these many years, is not with us in this hall. His dedicated and imaginative contributions to the improvement of the lot of the world community have received international recognition and have brought prestige and honor to the United Nations.
