68. I believe that if the Communist side changes its attitude and, in a spirit of compromise, responds to the proposals for entering into unconditional discussions there will emerge a good opportunity to restore peace in Viet-Nam. In this connexion, I strongly urge all parties concerned to commit themselves to a policy of resolving the conflict through discussion and to enter into discussions with minimum delay in order to attain a peaceful solution of the conflict. At the same time, I call upon all States Members of the United Nations to assist and cooperate towards achieving this objective. 69. Today the call for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Viet-Nam is heard all over the world. My delegation wishes earnestly and hopefully that the present session will exert its influence towards the early solution of the Viet-Namese conflict. Japan, for its part, will spare no effort towards this end.
