34. In the first place, the deficit of the United Nations remains, and we still need concrete action to wipe it out. Those of us who have in the past contributed what we thought were our assessments, and who have contributed to voluntary funds or to loans, are now watching what the countries that were regarded by us as being in arrears are going to do. Because we too are expected to pay more, we are watching them. That is an important practical problem. The second practical problem is one of principles: the question of what operations can be conducted henceforth, how they are to be authorized and now they are to be financed. We cannot proceed as if things were the same as before. We cannot act as though the slate had now been wiped clean and start afresh.
