 Text of the Speech made by Mr. Graham (United Nations Representative for India and Pakistan) in the Security Council Meeting No. 774 held on 21 February 1957

I wish, Mr. President, to give you my co-operative and loyal good wishes for your most important mission. gratulate you on the opportunity to negotiate with the Governments of two great peoples whom I not only respect, but, if I may say so, have come to love for themselves-their history, their heritage, their heroic struggles with gigantic problems and yet, withal, with a joyous and youthful hope.

I congratulate the Council on your acceptance of this mission, Mr. President, for which you are by ability, experience and disposition so eminently qualified and to which you bring the prestige of the office of President of the Security Council itself. Godspeed to you on your mission, to the efforts of the Security Council, to the cooperation of the two Governments with you and to the untiring work of an ably led and dedicated Secretariat, as they all work together and stand firm on the moral foundations of the life and values of the United Nations in this time of hazard and hope.

The Member States of the United Nations must apply, with equal justice under the Charter, the principles of the United Nations to all nations, large or small, friend or foe, east or west. Problems, situations, disputes, cases on the agenda. of the United Nations have their ups and downs and come and go, but the United Nations goes on, deep in the minds and hearts of the people as they do their day's work and pray and hope, in the great adventure of building a freer and fairer peaceful world for all peoples in all lands.
