S/PV.650 Security Council

The representative of Lebanon has asked [649tJt meeting] what my intentions are. To he quite frank, l am at a loss to understand the intentions of the memhers of the Secunty Couneil. Yesterday, the representative of the Soviet Union spokeof "forced marches". Now we are like soldiers marking time. -SZ..LJ:u:met!auL.sp.e.a1œr.Lon JIlyJist._but theydQ not wish to speak toJay. l shouldlike to ask the representative of Lebanon whether he would he prepared to. continue with his statement and speak on the four points thathe has enumerated. 58. Mr. Charles MALIK (Lebanon): l should think that in the proper economy of things one dose at a timewould be· sufficient. 59. Ml". BOKHARI (Pakistan): l think it tS obvious to aIr of us round ihis table that the situation with regard.to the tbree-Power draft resolution, and other proposais beforethe Couneil ,or likely tocome hefore t.qe. CQu!lC'il, is an. extremely. fluid, on~ .at the moment.

l fear that the Security Council is dissipating its efforts.We have received a new draft resolution today. We can, of course, meet tomorrow in order to hear one of our colleagues; yet l wonder whether it would be advisable to do so if we cannot in any case discuss his statement tomorrow. l doubt that it would be advisable. 64. VVe could, if necessary, discuss bis statement on Monday and take a decision, but l think it would be most· ititônvenient to meet 'merely' in order to hear the part of the statement which our distinguished colleague Mr; Malik has not -been able to make today. 65. We have heard a very interesting statement today from the representative of Pakistan, which has thrown new light on the situation; we must study it and take a decision on it. We have also before us a completely new proposaI, which requires study, from the Lebanese representative. It therefore seems to me inadvisable to meet tomorrow merely in order to hear what Mr. Malik has to say, which might perhaps take an hour, and then ta meet again on Monday in order to discuss what he will have told us and then, perhaps, proceed to the vote. 66. That is why l repeat what l said yesterday: we should not hasten our study ofthis important question; the more hastily we try to overcome the various obstacles, the more our work win look like an obstacle race. l do not think that this wouldbe wise, and l therefore repeat that there i8 no need to caIl a meeting tomorrowmerely to hear the remaining part of Mr. Malik's statement-' unless, of course, he insists. If he does insist, Ishall not, of course, object. 67.Mr. HOPPENOT (France) (trctnslateà from French): The first questionis whether Mr. Malik is 68. l wish to repeat that my interventi01Fis intended solely to save time and to prevent the dehate from heing prolonged !ndefinitely. l am no more in favour of hurry than Mr. Vyshinsky i5. But what we are doing now seems to he much more like a group of singers chanting "March, march" while they mark time. And l do not think that the USSR representanve is in favour of that either.

Is the representative of Lehanon prepared to speak tomorrow morning? 70. Mr. Charles MALIK (Lehanon): l have nothing to do with the situation whatsoever. Supposing l !t-ad not announced that, l was going to speak again? Let the Council decide when it wants to meet, and when it does meet l shall see whether l am ready. l am not going to tell the Council now. Supposit~g we were to meet on Monday and l gave up my, right to speak l am quite prepared tagive up that right. Why should this matter depend upon me? In fad, it does liot depend upon me. Let the Council decide quite independently of me, and if other speakers will he ready let it meet on Monday. l have nothing to do with it.

Before calling upon the representative of Pakistan may l ask if there is anyone among the.memhers oftheCouncil and the representatives of Israel and ,.'Syria who wishes to speak tomorrow morning? _..t~" ".It§eemsthatnoone is prepared to speak tomorrow . 50 l woula suggest tnaï we meet twice on lVïotidày;botfi in the morning and in the afternoon.

.' Iamgrateful to you, Mr. President, for what l take to he your decision not to meet during the weekend and l shaH he very happy if the representative of France agrees, particulady since we have not the right, to strike and that makes it important that our weekends should be preserved. 74. As far as the holding of two meetings on Monday is concerned, normally my delegation would have raised nodifficulty on thataccount. Since, however, a new draft resolution has been submitted my delegation and, r am sur~, other de1egations have to soHcit instructions from their governments.A weekend is always a very awkward finie at'which-toobtain instructions because offices at both ends are generally closed. ,It would he helpful if on Monday, at least,oll'1y an afternoon meeting were held. This is a suggestion which l request you to consider. If necessary we could then apply your for,tnt11a,~ta l~terdate-OII Tuesday for exampleif we did not finish our work on Monday. l t1ûnk that 81. Mr.· HOPPENOT (France) (frcinslated from French): l hope the speakers wil1 not go on strike on Monday! 82. The PRESIDENT: We shall meet again on Monday afternoon at three o'dock.
