§ Mr. Nuttingasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it was agreed at the Potsdam Conference that neutral countries shall be admitted to the world organisation only on condition that they are prepared to contribute economically, on a Lend-Lease basis, to the building up of prosperity among the United Nations and particularly of ex-occupied Allied countries; and, if not, whether, so far as His Majesty's Government are concerned, he will strive to conclude an agreement at the September meeting of the Foreign Minister's Council.
§ Mr. E. BevinNo, Sir. The question of the admission of States to the United Nations is for that organisation itself to decide. As far as His Majesty's Government are concerned they have nothing to add to the statement on this subject issued at the conclusion of the Potsdam Conference.
