29. AUSTRALIA-Mr. R. A. Peachey: The numbers of people involved were so staggering that at times there might have been a tendency to think of them as masses of people rather than as millions of individuals. The refugees must be free to return to their families and their friends, to their houses and communities which were left behind. Expressed the hope that enmities should be set aside in the face of tragic situation, and that strenuous efforts would be made by those in authority to being about an early solution.
30. PHILIPPINES-Mr. H. J. Prilliantes: There was creeping into the subject an element of politics which is unhealthy. The Three-Power draft resolution should be withdrawn. Instead, the Chairman must make a summation for the record leaving it to the President of the General Assembly to endorse that summation.
31. NEPAL-Mr. J. Jlia: This humanitarian problem contained a seed of a major conflict in the region. Therefore, it was very properly the concern of the international community. The international assistance, although unprecedented, was obviously inadequate. There was a clear need of more generous assistance. The only solution to the problem lay in the voluntary repatriation of the refugees and to that end the General Assembly should appeal for the promotion of conditions to allow them. Any appeal would be effective only when the parties to which it was addressed feel inclined to heed it.
