You will remember that during last year while the Executive Committee of the Natal Municipal Association were in Pretoria in conference with members of the Cabinet of t he Union Government and officials the }'rime Minister had a talk with me and extended an invitation to the Natal Municipal Association inviting that body to send a representative to meetings of the United Nations organisation at New York to act in an advisory capacity and further to counteract adverse propaganda on the India~ Issue in South Africa that had been going on for some time in America and elsewhere.
