A SUGGESTION by Syria, that United Nations Trusteeship Council missions visiting Trustee ship Territories should seek out and encourage public discussion of annual reports by the inhabitants of Trust Territories was vigorously
resisted by the Australian Minister at United Nations, Mr. W. D.
Forsyth, when it was submitted in New York on March 24.
Mr. Forsyth (who was the first Secretary-General of the South Pacific Commission) said that the substitution of the Trusteeship Council for the administering authority would damage the whole system. It was contrary to the UN Charter, and it would be bad for the Territory’s inhabitants.
It is another example of how a section of this pernicious Trustee ship Council always is seeking to get some sort of authority over the primitive folk of what the League of Nations called the C-Class Man dates.
