  1. “"Rather, we should devote our energies to repairing that edifice where it needs repair, to bolstering up the structure where it need bolstering up, and to enabling the United Nations to go forward in strength rather than succumb to weakness. My Government will not, therefore, support any movement aimed at weakening or bringing about the destruction of the United Nations. "I know that one of the root causes behind certain suggestion that the United Nations has become outmoded and should be replaced by an organization more in keeping with the times, was a feeling of frustration during the last General Assembly, which stemmed from the fact that the normal business of the Assembly was somewhat disrupted owing to certain unfortunate disagreements in principle over the interpretation of Article 19 of the United Nations Charter.”

  2. “We should not seek to discard like a worn-out piece of machinery an Organization which has taken so long to build and perfect and which, throughout more than twenty years, has been such a strong and salutary influence in the struggle to attain harmony amongst the peace-loving nations of the world and which has stood, buffeted perhaps on occasions, but firm and solid throughout, as a champion of peace amongst all peace-loving peoples of the world. Even to contemplate starting again from the beginning to build up a new Organization in place of, or even, as I have heard it suggested, in opposition to, the United Nations, is in the view of my Government sheer madness.”

  3. “There are some, I know, who think that the United Nations is outmoded, that it no longer has a really useful role to play, and that it should be replaced by some new world organization which is as yet no more than the figment of someone's imagination. With that view, Malawi entirely disagrees. We should not devote our energies to the destruction of an edifice which it has taken twenty years to build to even its present size and eminence, and upon which there is much still to be built.”

  4. “Malawi is but in its second year of membership of the United Nations, or perhaps to be more accurate I should say only in its first year of membership because, although this is the second General Assembly at which my country has had the honour to be represented, it is still not twelve months since we were admitted to membership of the United Nations. That, however, does not in any way diminish the pride that I and my Government feel in being a Member of an Organization in which we have the utmost faith, whose aims and ideals we support whole-heartedly, and whose future we will do everything in our power to assure.”

  5. “President, crave the indulgence of yourself and of all Members of this Assembly on account of my absence, and ask you to receive Mr. Nyasulu as my personal representative and to grant him hearing as you would to myself. "One of the reasons, Mr. President, why I am particularly sad that I cannot address these remarks to you in person is because this year marks the twentieth anniversary of the coming into being of the United Nations, and I would have liked personally to say a few words of congratulations to you and to the body over which you preside on such an occasion.”

  6. “I, as captain of the ship of state of Malawi, find myself in just such a position and much as I should have liked to have done, I regret that it has proved impossible for me to leave Malawi and come to New York in person at this time. "Nevertheless, Mr. President, I would like on this occasion to place before you and Members of this august Assembly the views of my Government on some of the issues of importance which face the world today and which I am sure will form the subjects of deliberation in this Assembly during its present sitting. I have therefore chosen my honourable and trusted Minister of Health, the Hon. A, M. Nyasulu, M.P., to represent me personally on this occasion and to deliver to you on my behalf a message touching upon these matters. "I therefore, Mr.”

  7. “President, that you and the Members of the Assembly will grant me, as a very unworthy substitute for my Prime Minister, your indulgence. 126. In these circumstances, Mr. President, my Prime Minister wishes me to deliver to you and to Members of this Assembly the following message on his behalf: "Mr. President, "It is with deep regret that I have not been able on this occasion to enjoy both the honour and the pleasure of leading my country's delegation to the twentieth session of the General Assembly of the United Nations this year. When, however, a ship of state is a small one and the crew thereof few in number, it is difficult for the captain to leave his bridge for any length of time, especially when there are difficult waters to be navigated.”

  8. “My pleasure and that of my colleagues in the Malawi delegation is only marred by the fact that it has proved impossible for my Prime Minister to be here in person. It has been a great disappointment to him that the pressure of Government business in Malawi at the present time is such that it has proved impossible for him to get away and once more lead the Malawi delegation and deliver to you personally his address on the occasion of the opening of the twentieth session of this Assembly, and he has asked me to convey to you his apologies for his unavoidable absence. He has also entrusted to me the important task of delivering to you, Mr. President, and Members of this Assembly the message which he had hoped to be able to deliver in person. I trust therefore, Mr.”

  9. “May I also take this opportunity to associate myself with the warm tributes and sincere congratulations that have been paid to Gambia, the Maldive Islands and Singapore on their admission to this Organization. In wishing the Governments and peoples of these three sovereign States every success in the future, may I also express the hope that this world Organization will be all the more richer by the adding of three distinguished representatives from these States. 125. It is a great honour for me to be present here today in this august Assembly, in which are represented nearly all the nations of the free and peace-loving world, to represent my country and my Prime Minister, Mr. Kamuzu Banda.”

  10. “It is our pleasure that we are on very friendly terms with your country, and it is our hope that the wisdom which has made you a man of distinction in your own country will be of much greater use in guiding the deliberations of the nations of the world. 123. I should also at this juncture sincerely congratulate my brother, Alex Quaison-Sackey, who has just been relieved of the heavy burden of the strenuous nineteenth session of the General Assembly. The able manner in which he handled the delicate issues is a credit to Africa as well as to Ghana. I would venture to say Alex Quaison-Sackey has earned for himself a place in the history not only of this Organization but also of the world. We are proud of him, Ghana is proud of him, Africa is proud of him, and I am certain the world is equally proud of him. 124.”

  11. “122. Mr. President, I would like to join the many other delegates who have congratulated you on your elevation to your high office. We in Malawi cannot claim to have been a colony of Rome except perhaps as a second generation one. You must have taught Britain a good lesson on how to build an empire, but Britain does not seem to have learned from her own experience that, colonized people have the tendency to demand their independence, and to get it, too. But there is one common feature that encourages us; this is that just as Britain gets on well with you, we get on well with Britain. Perhaps Britain learned this lesson from Rome.”
