In Nauru Debate
INDIA’S representative in the UN J Trusteeship Council did not i press the campaign for UN criticism of Australia s admini stration of Nauru (United Kingdom, Australian and New Zealand trust territory), and on July 17 the council adopted a report which ••noted with interest” the progress made at Nauru.
The report noted “with apprecia tion” that the search to find unpopulated and suitable areas where the Nauruans might eventually be resettled was con tinuing.
Australia was urged to pursue, with all possible vigour, the policy of fitting Nauruans to take more responsible positions in the phosphate-winning activities, and approval was given to plans for developing farming and fishing at the island.
The Indian delegate (Mr. Rikhi Jaipal) said that India reserved the right to raise the subject of liticism at the next meeting of the General Assembly.
