Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated October 24, 1959: U.N. Day

The President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, in a message broadcast over All India Radio on the occasion of the United Nations Day said: “As we celebrate the U.N. Day this year, I feel that the idea of peaceful living or at any rate the need to avoid war, is taking roots. It is true that effective concrete steps are yet to be taken, and there are indications which go to support this feeling. Whether it is in the field of scientific advances or of economic development, the world seems to have made some progress which sustains the hope for a better future. All men and women of goodwill must welcome the recent trends for the reduction of international tension and for the creation of better understanding.”
