MR. MENZIES TO ATTEND U. N. GENE-RAL
ASS Ed1BLY
Statement by the Prime Minister and Minister for External
Affairs
The Prime Minister and Minister for External
Affairs, Mr. Menzies, made the following announcement by leave
in the House of Representatives today
Mr. Speaker, in view of my reply to a question
yesterday, honorable members may enjoy a little wellearned
hilarity today when I tell them that contrary to my
first desire I propose no-. to make a quick journey to the
United Nations General Assembly Jhere, of course, I will
look foruaard to seeing my friend the honorable member for
Banks. As the meeting of the Assembly has-developed, it
has been attended by an increasing number of heads of
government, including heads of Commonwealth Governments,
the latest announced yesterday being the Prime Minister of
New Zealand. having regard to that fact, I should think that
honorable members would not wish Australia, speaking in
terms of heads of govornment, to be conspicuous by its
absence. Matters of great importance are under discussion,
and if one may make even a small contribution to the
solution of the rorld's problems, the trip will be
worthwhile. CANBERRA,
28th September, 1960.
