"Nevertheless, Mr. President, I would like on this occasion to place before you and Members of this august Assembly the views of my Government on some of the issues of importance which face the world today and which I am sure will form the subjects of deliberation in this Assembly during its present sitting. I have therefore chosen my honourable and trusted Minister of Health, the Hon. A, M. Nyasulu, M.P., to represent me personally on this occasion and to deliver to you on my behalf a message touching upon these matters. "I therefore, Mr. President, crave the indulgence of yourself and of all Members of this Assembly on account of my absence, and ask you to receive Mr. Nyasulu as my personal representative and to grant him hearing as you would to myself.
