bers of the Council will permit me, that in view of the urgent nature of the draft resolution and of its aims, the Council could consider the possibility of voting OR it today, unless you, Mr. President, decide otherwise. 148. The PRESIDENT (interpretntion fro/n Fre~dfJ: I note that the representative of Panama wishes the draft resolution to be put to the vote today. May I ask for the views of the Council on this matter? 149. Mr. NISIBORI (Japan): I should like first of all. Sir, to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for this month. I am quite sure that under your able guidance the Council meetings will proceed smoothly. 150. At the same time, I would pay a high tribute to your predecessor, Mr, Ling Qing, of China, for the admirable way in which he conducted the Council’s business last month. It was indeed the busiest 01 months, and many problems arose, one after another. But Mr. Ling Qing dealt with them skilfully and efficiently. 15 1, I should also like to express my great admiration and deep gratitude to the Secretary-General for the tireless and dedicated efforts he has made to bring about a peaceful settlement of the dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom. Although his efforts have not so far produced the desired results, my delegation still hopes that those efforts will eventuaily be successful. 152. With regard to the draft resolution presented orally by the representative of Spain and later sup- ported by the representative of Panama, now duly circulated in written form and sponsored by Panama and Spain, my delegation fully realizes the urgency of the matter, but, in view of the importance of the problem, my delegation must naturally seek instruc- tions from my Government.
