Abstract

At the first meeting of the foreign ministers of the British Commonwealth of Nations in Colombo, Ceylon, January 9 to 15, 1950, the Minister of External Affairs of Australia (Spender) proposed a program of economic assistance to south and southeast Asia aimed at supplying, first, the necessary consumers goods to maintain a minimum standard of living in areas now on the verge of starvation; second, assistance necessary to increase production; and, third, capital equipment. The proposal was referred to the several Commonwealth governments, as, in the words of the final communiqué, “Executive decisions are not taken at Commonwealth meetings of this kind; but, as a result of the valuable exchange of views which has taken place, recommendations for the furtherance of economic development in South and Southeast Asia will be submitted to Commonwealth Governments for their consideration†.
