Public Information Service Press Release No. 59 Temporary London Office 26 April 1 946 CANADIAN DELEGATE PROPOSES ESTABLISHMENT OF TWO SUB-COMMITTEES (20th Meeting of the Special Committee on .Refugees and Displac.ed Persons on 26 April 1946, at Church House, London) In this morning's meeting the Chinese Delegate :Mr. Tsien (China) explained his attitude to the problem of the· setting up of a Sub-· Committee to deal with Far Eastern questions. (Point 9 or' the ·· Chairman's Plan of Work). :Mr. Tsien was agreeable that no special sub:--commfttee for the Far East be established if the needs of this region were considered in one of the Sub-Committees. The Canadi".:l.n Delegate (Mr. Turgeon) suggested: that two sub­ committees, each consisting of not more than eleven members, should be appointed. ( 1) A Fact-Finding Sub-Oomrnittee. (2) Sub-Cornrnittee·on Organization and Finance. Representatives of UNRRA and I.G.C. should be invited to sit wjth each of these sub-committees in a consultative capacity. The Canadian Delegate moved that the following should be the terms of reference for the Fact-Finding Sub-Committee:­ (a) to ascertain, by the use of information already available and by · direct request to such persons or bodies as it deems appropriate, . the approximate numbers, location and place of origin or habitual residence of refugees; (b) to discover what arrangements are now in force or under consideration for the repatriation of refugees; (c) to make recommendations to the international body so that no action it may take interferes in any way with the surrender and punishment of war criminals, quislings and traitors; (d) to ascertain which Governments representated on the Committee can receive refugees from Europe; (e) to consider the situation in the Far East. The terms of reference for the Sub-Committee on Organization and Finance would be to investigate and report on the status, form, name, composition and constitution of the new international body; to arrange the procedure for its establishment; to consider questions of finance, with a view to the equitable distribution of the administrative and operative ·costs. The Canadian proposal stressed that the sub-committee sho~ld keep within a strict time limit so as to enable the Committee to make a written report to the Economic and Social Council by the allotted date. 2485 -J Page 2. The Canadian Delegate concluded by r eferring to statements ·made by certain Delegations on camp condition:s and agreed that one of the Sub-Committees should give this matter consideration• llf.ir. Winiewicz (Chairman) stated t·ha.C: the Chai~ was willing to accept a simplified scheme for Sub-Corri.rnitfoes. · Mr. Bousquet (France) withdrew the French suggestion in favou,r _ of the Canadian proposal, in view of the shortness of tLrne at the Committee's disposal. The Netherlands Delegate (Mr. Haveman) endorsed the Canadian proposal. He mentioned that the Netherlands Government was considering the resettlement of many thousands of refugees in the Dutch West Indies a~d was anxious to discuss possibil~ties with the new organizat~on; The Byelorussian and Polish Delegates also supported the Canadian proposal. ·-,The meeting then adjourned till 4. oo p. m. Corrigendum to Press Release No. 57 (page 2) Line 28 of Sir Herbert Emerson's statement should read "He considered it would not be difficult to make_at this stage a rough estimate •••••• 11 instead of "He considered it would be difficult • •r• •.• 11 .

SECURITY COUNCIL CONTINUES DISCUSSION ON SP.il'i After 3t hours discussion at its 37th meeting, on Thursday, 25 April, the Security Council failed to reach a decision on the Spanish i ssue and adjour ned until 11 a. m. the following day. Col. Hodgson (Australia) i'1troduced a new amendrrent to the Polish resolution to the effect that the Security Council should appoint a Sub-Committee of five to examine the statements made before the Security Council regarding Spain, and to call for further statements, and evidence. I t should conduct its own inquiries and shoul d report to the Security Counci l on May 31, especially on the following questions: (1) Is the existence of the Franco regime a ·ma.tter of international concern and not one essentially ~ithin the jurisdiction of Spain? ( 2) Is the situation in Spain one which might lead to internati onal friction or which might gi ve rise to a dispute? (3) If the answer to these questions i s "Yes11 , is the continuance of that situation likely to endangor the maintenance of international peace and security? lVlr. Stettinius (U. S. A. ) said that his Government would accept the Australian amendment, subject to minor alterations. The U.S.A. Government had information on Spain, by first-hand observers, which was different from that given by the Polish delegate. He was unable to agree that the situati on in Spain required action under Articles 39 and 41 , but this disagreement di d not mean that the views of the U. S. A. Government had changed in any way. Mr. Stettinius revealed that his Government estimated thD.t there still were some 2, 200 Germans of all categories in Spain. 1, 300 Germa"ls who have been serving as guards on the Franco-Spanish frontier have .been repat;r:'iated, but the Spanish Government was showing growing relunctance to assist in the r epatriation programme. While the U.S. Government had given the names of 500 obnoxious Nazis and the British ~overnment had sent a ship vvith room for 500, the Spanish police had produced only 150 Nazis. Mr. Gromyko (U. S. S. R. ) opposed the Australian .emendment a"ld the setting-up of a Committee of Enquiry, and strongly criticized those delegates whose arguments, he said, could be summed up by the formula "insufficient evidence. " That formula had applied in many instances in history and he quoted the Japan ' s aggression in Manchuria, the Abyssinian, Hitler's aggression against Austria and Czechoslovakia and finall y the policy of the London non-intervention Committee which had encouraged armed Fascists in Spain. Mr. Van Kleffens (Nethe'rlands) suggest0d to delete the time limit and also the words "matter of international concern as not one essentiall y within the jurisdiction of Spain" from the .Australian amendment. M. Bonnet (France) expressed his satisfactioh with the Council's unanimous moral condemnation of the France regime and Suggested the deletion of the throe questions from the Australian amendment. Pr ofessor Lange (Poland) proposed tho appointment of a Drafting Sub-Committee which would prepare its recommendations on practical steps. . J'-fter Mr. Hodgson (i.>1.1Stralia) declored b:iJr1Self willing to accept the Netherlands amendments and the French suggestion, a debate developed as to the usefhlness of establishing a Drafting Sub-Corrnnittee. The i~e~ was oppose~ by Mr. Gromyko who said that the Sub-Committee should not b~ l+mi~ed tot contsade~ the Australian text and amendµlent, but w'?uld support :;.t if it v.ie~e o s u Y proposals ~~th a vi ew of finding the basis for a unanimous deci sion. - ,r.../ y' '] 0 be checked 6.go.inst oelivery.
