"Despite the reservations which Imust inevitably make as a result ofthe finonclal situation of UNFICYP.it is my considered view that theForce in Cyprus should be agQin extended. My strong preference, in theinterest of plonning, economy and theeffIcient monagement of the Farceis on extension for a period af sixmonths after 26 March 1966. Butthis should be on the necessary condition that there Is assurance of adequate financial support to sustain itin advance, of the decision ta extendthe Force.

Thatcountry, he said, failed to giveeffect to the principle of selfdetermination as laid down inthe resolutions, and there wasno sign of a reversal in itspolicy of political and economic integration of the territories with Portugal., The Secretary-General saidthat the refusal of South Africa to co-operate in carryingout UN resolutions concerningthe territory of South West Africa was likewise a mattel' ofserious concern. Far from ceasing to apply apartheid policies in that territory, he saidSouth Africa seemed to be taking further steps to carrythem out, including measuresleading to the establishment ofnon-European "homelands".
