France and South Africa are urged on colonial mandates
New Zealand Prime Minister Fraser challenged the UN Trusteeship Committee over how France and South Africa handle League mandates in their colonies. He argued mandates must be exercised under UN authority via the Trusteeship Council and warned against treating mandates as mere paper. A US delegate noted wording of the mandate regulations did not grant mandatory powers free rein. Fraser pressed for clarity on Togo and Cameroon development plans and urged France and South Africa to acknowledge UN oversight.
