S/PV.8 Security Council

There was a suggestion made to the Chair a moment or two ago. There are several members who want to speak in regard to this particular matter~ 1 am wondering whether this might be regarded possibly as' a desirable moment to have an adjoumment, so that we may come back tomorrow to a consideration of the matter, and then possibly be able to arrive at a much more satisfactory conclusion. The rcpresentative of Brazil has requested of the Chair thathebe able ta make just one remark before 1 put the question of adjournment ,to a vote. Mr. DE FREITAS-VALLE (Brazil): 1 should just like to say, ifwe do not want to conclude before we adjourn, that the letter from the Soviet delegation is based on Article 35, and Artide 35 comes under Chapter VI. Renee, ~n this question there is nothing more to discuss. ::~~.-:::-~,-:,. -: -.;'- -~"--:'-7r:rhe- ·_:_:'P:RESIDENT--:,::---:I·:-thh~-·:---that· ·-pûssi1Jlyaü adjouhunent would give' an opportunity to examine more fully certain phases of the matter.

First Series, Supplement No. 1; Annex, 3. Might 1 supplement what l have aIready said by indicating to members of the Council (1 can hardly feel that they are not seized with the ve!y serious importance of trying to find some satIsfactory expression in regard to this matter) that the very future. of those matters in regard to which we areall called upôn to take a most important part, and which affect the future relationships of the.world, could be influenced by our decisions in these matters. Therefore, 1 earnest:ly suggest to members of the Council that at this stage they should realize the vital importance of seeking to find a means whereby we can have mutual agreement regarding the terms of a resolution. Mr. MODZELEWSKI (Poland) (translated from French): 1 think it would be a good thing to suspend the meeting for a few minutes so that we may confeI: among· ourselves. 1 shall have a proposaI to make.

Do members bf the Council desire that we should suspend the sitting for five or ten minutes so that discussion may take,place? Am 1 to take it that the Council agrees to an adjoumment offive mmutes? Sînce there are DO objections, then the deliberations are suspended for five minutes. The meeting was adjourned at 9.15 p.m. and resumed at 11.0.5 p.m.
