53. While on the subject of the Far East, I should like to say that my Government welcomes the conclusion of the Treaty of Peace with Japan, which it regards as an essential step towards the establishment of stability and security in the Pacific. My Government, therefore, wishes once again to record its full appreciation of this significant contribution towards the establishment of a peaceful world system, and, to those who worked with such devotion to bring the treaty into being, I would, from this rostrum, express our gratitude.
