1. “40. I am grateful to you, Mr. President, for the opportunity afforded me to make the position of my country clear on the major issues now being agitated in this Assembly. Some of these issues are much older than our Assembly Hall. Some will, no doubt, continue to perplex mankind long after the voices of all of us present here cease to be heard in any part of the world. 41. Whatever the outcome of any single issue may be in the future, however, it will, I think, be generally agreed that all of us are bound here and now by the same obligation to strive, even to the limits of our strength, to resolve the issues which at the present time vex and bedevil the world. The obligation is equally binding on us, wealthy and poor, large and small.”
