主題： 台灣問題

The question of Formosa will shortly come before the Political Committee of the General Assembly.
台灣問題不久將提交聯大政治委員會審議。

. . . . Under the procedure we envisage, a United Nations commission would spend the first year in studying the problem, in bringing out all relevant factors and in providing an opportunity for a full exchange of views among the governments concerned. The commission would give careful consideration to the respective Chinese claims to Formosa, to the well-being and wishes of the Formosans themselves, and to the valid interest of the international community in promoting peace and security in the western Pacific area.
. . . . 根據我們設想的程序，一個聯合國委員會將在第一年研究這個問題，找出所有相關因素，並為有關政府之間充分交流意見提供機會。 委員會將認真考慮中國對台灣的各自訴求，台灣人自身的福祉和願望，以及國際社會在促進西太平洋地區和平與安全方面的正當利益。

注意到   . . . . 《開羅宣言》宣布，他們的目的之一是將以前由日本控制的某些領土，包括台灣和澎湖列島歸還給中華民國，並且尚未採取正式行動將這些領土的主權歸還給中國； . . . .
