The President
We have had a number of meetings on the subject which is now before us, We hope that we cari proceed with our debate and to the considesation of the draft resolution [S/7539] before us. 1 would greatly hope that we may be able to conclude our deliberations today. 1 know that the Fore+ Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo was anxious to conclude the matter as rapidly as possible, 1 wou…
Mr. Matsui
We have listenedvery carefully to the statements made by the representatives of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and of Portugal, as wellas to the observations made by the representatives of other Governments who have participated thus far in the consideration of the question now before us, It appears to the Japanese delegation that this question is a complex one, but 1 think that there is a …
Mr. Mouanza
Allow me, Mr. President, on behalf of my Government to thank you and the members of the Council for permitting me to take part in this debate. The problem which concerns us today is not a new one. Many of the members present here must know that the problems created by the Portnguese through their reactionary activities in African countries have been brought before the Security Council on several …
Mr. Quijano
In setting forth its views on the matter now before the Security Council, the Argentine delegation must naturally bear in mind the information placed before it by the representatives of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Portugal, whether in the officia1 documents or in their statements to the Council. The general situation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the continued interest …
Mr. Corner
If it is difficult to reach an objective and firm conclusion on the specific charge levelled against Portugal by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the evidence immediately available to the Council does ,pevertheless tend to confirm one element at least of the latter Government’s fears. The reported incident in Ardeche-that
136. When such a possibility exists, it is appropriate to reiterate w…
Mr. Seydoux
The French delegation cannot but join with a11 the previous speakers who, in the course of this debate, have expressed the hope that no foreigninterference willdisturb the peaceful existence ofthe Democratic Republic of the Congo. It has always been my country’s policy to oppose such interference, and there should not, in our opifiion, be any exception to that principle. Its application is perhap…
Mr. Fedorenko

Mr. El-Farra
The Seourity Council has been considering a complaint of a serious nature against Portugal submitted by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, The question involves units of mercenary troops to be used to overthrow the legitimate Government of the Democratic Republic of the
COngo. We have heard the statements of the representative of Portugal denying the charge. Without going into a lengthy discu…
Mr. Kironde
1 do not intend to dwell at length on the evils of Portuguese imperialism, which are too well known and which have been amply expatiated on. 1 only wish to say in passing that the Portuguese brand of imperialism is of a particularly pernicious and mischievous type. This is 50, very much because under the euphemistic appelation of assimilation it is intended to possess a11 the elements of eternity…
The President
We have now corne to the end of the list of speakers in this debate. 1 would wish to make a very short comment of my own on behalf
Of the United Kingdom. Thereafter, there is one member of the Council who has expressed the wish to speak before the vote, and three who have expressed the wish to speak after the vote,
299. Speaking for the UNITED KINGDOM, 1 would first of a11 wish to make a very b…
Mr. Keita
As everyone knows, the substance of the draft reso-
229. When the Foreign Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo spoke before this Council, he spoke, as a11 Will remember, without rancour and without anger, and his words were moving, natural and sincere, thus proving once again, if that were necessary, that when Africans bring their problems to you, they do SO with the desire to achiev…
The President
We now corne to the stage of the vote. The representative of Mali, on behalf of the co-sponsors of the draft resolution, has indicated his readiness to accept a separate vote onoperative paragraph 1 of the draft resolution.

Mr. Fedorenko
We have listened very attentively to the statements of those memhers of the Security Council who have explained the difficulty of their position with regard to operative paragraph 1 of the draft resolution submitted by Jordan, Mali, Nigeria and Uganda. That paragraph states that the Security Council:
“Urges the Government of Portugal, in view of its ownïement, not to allow foreign mercenaries to…
The President
The matter will be settled,as it should be settled, by the free vote of the Council.
Mr. Fedorenko
Mr. President, we have an established procedure. 1 didnot waive consecutive interpretation, although 1 was very much tempted to do SO. I would ask thatthe usual procedure should be followed and my statement interpreted into Englfsh and, of course, into Fsench.
At this point the consecutive interpreotation into English of the statement by the USSR representative was begun.
248, The PRESIDENT: 1 …
Mr. Corner
Yes, Mr. President, 1 speak on a point of order.
250. 1 did not presume to interrupt the representative of the Soviet Union while he was speaking, but may I place on record the view of my delegation that his entire statement was out of order, the voting process having already commenced. 1 believe, therefore, Mr. President, it is in your discretion whether you recognize the statement that was mad…
The President
1 think, havingheardthe statement, we shall als8 have to hear the interpretation if it is the wish. 1 cal1 on the representative of Bulgaria on a point of order.
Mr. Tarabanov
Mr. President, 1 merely wanted to ask you whether , when the consecutive interpretation of a statement is in progress, a representative may raise a point of order and proceed to speak on it. 1s it right to interrupt the interpretation of a statement? I wished to put that question to you because, while it is, of course, permissible for the representative of New Zealand to interrupt the representat…
