UN General Assembly
1956

42. I have devoted some little time to matters that I like to believe are of some importance. We shall explain our point of view on the large agenda of items before this session as the work of the Assembly develops. I would not wish it to be thought that, because I have not dealt with a particular subject this evening, Australia does not attach importance to it. The Australian delegation will make every effort to contribute constructively to this Assembly’s work. 43. There are, however, a few things which I should like to mention very briefly — almost in telegraphic form — in order to save the time of the Assembly. Australia welcomes the great advance made towards universality of membership of the United Nations. We look forward confidently to the admission of Japan to the United Nations during the present session of the Assembly.
