My delegation's vote in favour of the admission of Jâpan is 'quite clear in itself. 1 should like to add, howe'ver, that we are as glad to see the applications the sixteen states accepted as we are sorry to Japan's application for admission postponed. That . ~pplicaJion was accèpted by ten votes with a single vote against it. The representative of the member· of the Council which votéd against the Japanese application explained that bis intention was simply to defer the admission of that country. It might therefore said tha't Japan's admission was unanimously accepted. 55. 1 should therefore like to mâ.ke it clear-and that clarification will be necessary if the United Statès draft resolution is not adopted, for if it is. there is no reason why ï should give this.explanation-that the permanent members of the Security Council have un.dertaken recommend to the General Assembly that it admit Japan to the United Nations at its eleventh session. ts 1. . :' ~. e :.

1 have participated in consideration of this question from the very beginning, both in the General Assembly andhere. 1 do Wish ta maké· any· lengthy exp!anation of myvotes. 57. There is only ()De aspect of my act~on today which 1.-think' 1 should explain. During thisaftemoon's rneeting, ·1 did not reîntroduce the applications of Republic of, Korea and the Republic of Viet-Nam, not because 1 have changed my mind.. .No, 1 thiIlk that' the Republic of Korea and the RepublicofViet- Nam deserve to be Memhers of the· United Nations. Ldid nC?t take that step today 'because, asis wen]UlO~, suCl(â step would not bring pOsitiveresu:lts; . Therefore,iflhad reintto,duced my atnendment, Iwoûld not have done any service to the United Nations or to 59. We are naturally very distressed proved possible for Japan to he It has for long been· our wish its admission. We shall support just moved by the United States, that Japan "will join us at Assembfy. _ ! 60. On the other band, nobody pleased than the delegation of that at long last so Many countries have long missed have been recommended to th.~ Organization.

Nevertheless, the fact that the Security Couneil been able to take a favourable decision on the admission of sixteen States is a great .step fOlWard towards complete solution of the problem of the admission new Members to the United Nations. The USSR de1egation considers that this action by the Security Council-an action which we ha,,"e no doubt will supported by the General Assembly-will broaden basis of international co-operation in the United Nations. The admission to the United Nations sixteen States with different political and social systems is one more procf of the vitality and importance of fundamental principles of the United Nations, in ticular, the principle of the coexistence of States different socia1, political and economic systems. action by the Security Council will certainly improve the atmosphere in the United Nations and enable settle more successfully many pressing international problems. :lS si ltion t, et t un :tant quer § de ision 1 de lette ~are qui :lml'un par kbre x>its
