Mr. van Kleffens (Netherlands): The representative of the United Kingdom has just said that a third question, concerning the actions of British and Japanese troops in Java, is primarily a question concerning the Netherlands Government, which I have the honour to represent. I want to say that we, on our part, have no objection to that question, as worded, being included in the agenda of the next meeting.
Mr. Vyshinsky (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) (translated from Russian): I should like to avoid possible misunderstanding with regard to procedure. Every Member of the United Nations has undoubtedly the right to be heard by the Security Council. I am raising no objection to that. I only wish to bring to the Security Council's notice that the mere fact of discussing this or that complaint should not prejudice the question as to whether or not the Security Council will consider the declaration under discussion. That is what I wished to say.
The President: I take it now that members of the Council are agreed that these items should be included in the agenda for the next meeting of the Security Council? Does any member of the Council wish to submit a subsequent resolution about the presence of ...
Badawi Pasha (Egypt): I think that should be moved. I move it.
Mr. Stettinius (United States of America): What is the motion?
Badawi Pasha (Egypt): That the States which have presented complaints should be invited to participate in the work, in the sittings of the Security Council.
The President: It will affect Iran, of course, and may indirectly affect Greece. The other nations are, of course, represented on the Security Council.
Mr. Bevin (United Kingdom): In view of the fact that Greece will be affected, and that the State concerned has put no complaint, Greece must be heard.
The President: Do I take it that the resolution made by the representative of Egypt is adopted?
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Bevin (United Kingdom): I am a little puzzled. Does that include Greece?
The President: Yes, Mr. Stettinius made a comprehensive resolution covering all the items in the correspondence.
Mr. Bevin (United Kingdom): Thank you very much.
The President: Now it will be necessary for the members of the Council to determine the date and time of its next meeting.
