INDIA EXPLAINS DRAFT RESOLUTION
ON PRISONER-OF-WAR ISSUE IN FIRST COMMITTEE
V. K. Krishna Menon of India spoke in the First Committee this afternoon
in the general debate on the Korean question, to explain the draft resolution
on the prisoner-of-war issue which the Indian delegation circulated on 17 Nov-
ember (Doc.A/C.1/734).
Mr. Menon emphasized that this draft resolution was "rather a way to a
solution than a solution itself." It was "a way to a way out of a difficulty."
It was not intended to transfer the armistice negotiations to United Nations
Headquarters, but to provide the armistice negotiators with a, basis for an
agreement.
Commenting point-by-point on the proposals of his delegation, Mr. Menon
said that these proposals were aimed at reducing certain conceptions to con-
crete terms without sacrificing any principles.
Marian Naszkowski of Poland, the first speaker this afternoon, said his
delegation was studying the Indian plan .with all the attention it deserved
and reserved his right to state Poland's views on these proposals at a later
stage.
The Polish representative charged that the United States was still bent
on getting together a majority which would "slam the door shut to peaceful
settlement" of the Korean question. The road to such a settlement was shown
by the Soviet proposal, he said.
The list of speakers in the general debate was closed at 6:00 p.m. today.
The Committee will meet again at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow, Thursday, 20 November.
A second meeting is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. tomorrow.
