Mr. Bolamba, Minister of Information and Tourism, made following statement on U.K. day which was broadcast over Radio Nationals Confolaise: "The Congo has a duty fcs solemnly to observe the Day of the United Nations which, as everyone knows,hag played such an important role in our country. "The success which has crowned its efforts, both in the Congo and everywhere else in the world, clearly shows that in spite of all the obstacles xiihich may stand in the way of our organization, it is progressing steadily towards its essential goali a world freed from the horrors of war, in which freedom, equality among men and prosperity prevail* "There is still a long road ahead, but it is clearly mapped out, and the results are encouraging. "To be certain of this, it will suffice to recall how a world conflict was recently averted through the intervention of the United Nations and the efforts of its Secretary-General. "The number of nations that have attained independence since the founding of the United Nations if a further proof of its effectiveness and explains the hopes which the nations still struggling foe their freedom place in it. "The contribution that the international Organization and its Specialized Agencies are making to progress in all parts of the world also testifies to the extent and diversity of its work. "On the occasion of United Nations Day the Congp is happy once again to reaffirm its loyalty to the Organization and to the principles enshrined in its Charter. "We also reaffirm our determination to do all in our power to help it to accomplish its task in the best possible way. "I am happy to see that our people, who are continually showing evidence of -2- t^elr maturity, are conscious of th« importance of that task. The spontaneous demonstrations that have beer, organised ar© proof of this and testify to their feelings towards the international Organisation."

ZlglO^gMJ^. Jfoftgjgg^ Ayiib Kharij President oJ'JPa^istan "The eighteenth anniversary of i£e founding of the United Nations marks a stage in its evolution as an effective instrument of peace. Recent efforts made by Member countries — great oad small -- to overcome financial difficulties that faced the Organization indicate the genuine support that it enjoys as the principal forum through which mankind can strive to achieve lasting peace. wlt is heartening to observe that the United Nations is not confining its activities only to the maintenance of peacej it has assumed a dynamic role in exploring and promoting international co-operation in ever-widening fields. In a world where two-thirds of mankind live under conditions of poverty, hunger and backwardness j, change is an essential condition of progress. Pakistan believes that the United Nations can make significant contributions to bring about these changes through peaceful means. "Once again, Pakistan renews its pledge to support the Charter of the United Nations and its various activities for bringing about better economic, social and political conditions through peaceful change." Moharnmad Yusuf, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan "On the occasion of the eighteenth anniversary of the United Nations, I have the great pleasure in extending to Your Excellency personally and on behalf of the Government and people of Afghanistan, and through you to all the members of the Secretariat, my most sincere felicitations for this happy occasion, "The Government and people of Afghanistan are confident that the United Nations Organization will meet with success in their efforts for the promotion of world peace and human welfare."

Acting Foreign Minister of Ethiopia "On "behalf of the Imperial Ethiopian Government, I wish to congratulate you and your Organisation for outstanding services to mankind such as decolonization, disarmament and development. Once more, rest assured of ay Government's faith' and full support of the Charter and the Organization." Government of the Triumvirate of the Dominican Republic "The whole world commemorates United Nations Day on this date. Eighteen years' after the Charter was signed we are sure that all Governments and peoples have given their sincere recognition to the efforts of the Organization to maintain peace and international security, to promote peaceful relations among nations, to attain international co-operation in the solution of economic and social problems as well as other problems. "Our country, which was one of the first to sign that historic document, is happy on this occasion, on this new anniversary, because it is enjoying freedom within the provisions that are the very essence of the United Nations. '"This is aa opportune date for the Government of the Triumvirate to reaffirm its unshakeable faith in the unchanging and essential objectives of the United Nations, and to declare its decided support fbr all efforts aimed at preserving present and future generations from war. Because of this the Govern- ment has subscribed to the recent pact signed by the United States, Russia and England, banning nuclear tests, which perhaps, and may God thus will it, will lead in the near future to another agreement prohibiting the use of the atom for destruction and the use of that tremendous force for the good of humanity. "The Government of the Triumvirate reaffirms its faith in fundamental human rights, in the establishment of ad?iuate conditions to maintain justice, and promote the respect of international obligations as well as its determination for social progress and the raising of the living standards of the people, within tolerance and peaceful co-existence, which are the bases of international peace and security."

"The conclusion of the partial test ban treaty and the adoption of the General Assembly resolution on the stationing of weapons of mass destruction in outer space are two important events which signalize the change.

I welcome him today not only as a great musician, but also as a great human being, who is known the world over as a man of peace and a champion of human rights. "As we settle down to enjoy the music, I feel that we may permit ourselves a moment's pause for reflection, 1 ass. sure that many of you will recall the tense situation in the Caribbean this tine last year when we celebrated the seventeenth anniversary of the Organization.

Much of the tension that existed a year ago has relaxed* For the first time there is a feeling of hope, and a confidence that the great problems dividing the world can still be solved with mutual goodwill and understanding, This is a happy development, and we may truly feel that the Angel of Peace is on the wing, and that he is singing the song of peace to which we are about to listen." *## * UNITED N AT I 0 U S Press Services Office of Public Informstion United Nations, N.Y.

OF THE l3TH SESSION SSIST,?, "CARLOS SOSA RODRIGUEZ The United Nations has celebrated its anniversary, year after year? on 2k October. Circumstances and problems have gradually nhanjafi., and time h£S also altered this Organization, which has had to face difficult moments and dangerous situations. Today, eighteen years after that historic hour when the foundations of the United Nations vere laid., a new spirit of optimism pervades the debates of this world parliament, It is in an atmosphere of diminished international tension that we celebrate the twenty-fourth of October today. In 1561 and 1962 a threatening climate gave reason to fear the worsts This year' the conclusion of an agreement on the partial suspension of nuclear weapon tests is contributing to an improvement in the international situation and makes it possible to contemplate the future with more confidence and less fear. The role played by the United Nations in those times of crisis end the calm and unceasing work performed by 'the Organization through its manifold services underscore the value of this irreplaceable instrument for conciliation, understanding among nations and the progress of peoples. The vital problems of the present-day world are those that most occupy the attention of the United Nations and its principal organs: disarmament, decolonization, and the economic and social development of peoples. Humanityr s faith in this Organization and the understanding of the States that make it up should enable the United Nations to fulfil its mission of securing at the earliest possible time just and peaceful solutions to these three great political imperatives of today. I pray that the messages of my successors in the years to come may continue to reflect positive results in the attainment of these three fundamental objectives. 65-21.122 UNITED N A- !f;;"l'. 0 N S Press Office df Public Information United Nations, N.Y.

I believe he had the feeling that since he had first discussed the matter as president of United World Federalists! there may have been some cause for confusion in the follow-up. Please be assured there is no inten- tion to press unduly. I'll be glad to phone Mr. Walter after I hear from you.

Kelley, Jr. August 20, 1963 Mr. Norman Cousins 25 West 45th Street New York 36, New York Dear Norman: Miss Lewis advised me that you are lunching with U Thant next Tuesday. It is most important that we get him to Cleveland next fall. We would like to have him either the weekend of October 18 or the Friday and Saturday after October 24. It is necessary for him to be at the UN on October 24, but he advised me when I saw him in mid-May he would possibly be able to come here on the weekend. He expressed extreme interest in coming to Cleveland and said he would advise me sometime during June as to the date. However, he did have the financial session pressing heavily upon him and he then went to Russia. I phoned his secretary and was advised by letter that he could not accept the engagement. The invitation that I was arranging to have sent to him after he .had fixed the date would have invited him to come to the Mayors UN Committee meeting celebrating UN Week and as soon as he accepted the engagement we intended to give him a real rostrum in the Midwest from which to strengthen the UN's position. I believe this is most necessary for our country at this time and it would be helpful to the UN if U Thant could make this trip. We could arrange to fly him out here if necessary, if commercial schedules do not suit his schedule, but there should be little difficulty in getting him to Cleveland and return at times to accommodate him via commercial airlines. We would like to have him on a Friday evening or on Saturday and could arrange his return to New York^on Sunday morning, Would you please talk with him about this again when you see him next Tuesday and get a definite commitment from him and I will then send the formal invitation. Sincerelyy ours, , " Paul W. Walter CVB/pbg 2k July 1963 Bear Hr. Walter, My secretary passed oa to me yesterday your kind message asking whether I could go to Cleveland to meet with scjne influential mayors of the Mid West in connexion with the preparations for the celebration of United Stations Bay. I have reviewed my programme for the next few months and I regret that I do not see any possibility of under- taking such a trip during this period in view of the current session of the Security Council and the forthcoming eighteenth session of the General Assembly. I am grateful to you for your kind interest and hope that your efforts to promote a better understanding of the United Hations will be highly successful. Yours sincerely, & Thant Ifcr.

(FOR USE OF INFORMATION MEDIA -- NOT AN OFFICIAL RECORD) Note Wo. 2775/Rev. I 16 July 1963 NOTE TO CORRESPONDENTS: With attention focused on the forthcoming United Nations Day celebration, on 2k October, the United Nations has prepared a colourful display providing a centrepiece for libraries, industrial institutions and other groups interested in the dissemination of printed and visual information emanating from the United Nations. This basic exhibit contains six booklets and a flag chart, presenting the different phases of the Organization's work in an easy-to-assemble 30" x 35" display unit. The following booklets are included: Basic Pacts about the United Nations; The Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- A Standard of Achievement; World Facts and Figures; For Human Welfare -- A Discussion Guide on the Work of the Economic and Social Council; Guide to the Charter of the United Nations; The International Court of Justice. In addition to this material, listings and information -will be supplied to enable interested persons to acquire additional copies of the books displayed and other publications issued under the United Nations imprint. The opportunity to invite a large audience to take part in a visually informative display of United Nations activities was originally created by libraries and educational institutions in their need to provide a centrepiece to allow them to focus interest on the United Nations. An added incentive in the production of the exhibit is the fifteenth annivers- ary of Human Rights Day, expected to inspire world-vide interest this year. Human Rights Day, 10 December, has aroused extra interest in the display and is expected to increase the need to keep the United Nations and its manifold activities at its apex. * #-** * Inquiries should be directed to the nearest United Nations Information Centre, or the United Nations Sales Section either in New York or Geneva. 10 July 1963 Dear izv Casals* 1 srs- vss7 glsd to learn that arm^eigmiis are going forwasra. for you to visit us agaia and to joJs in suy eeiebration of Ujaited Mationa Pay* October 2/i..
