I told Mr. McNamara this when he informed me in advance of his intention to make this proposal. Since then I have received similar comments from colleagues in the developing countries. They consider it premature to establish a private mechanism like the proposed one before the North/South dialogue has ended. This dialogue is where one can find satisfactory basis for international economic relations. Contrary to Mr. McNamara whose action in the World Bank has been positive, I, like others, believe that there is now an opportunity to achieve concrete results in the North/South dialogue and that t is necessary to reinforce this opportunity t governments 4mem to manifest their political will in the favorable circumstances of I am sure that Mr. McNamara agrees that at this moment the most important is to conclude successfully the Paris conference which would have positive effects on the present negotiations in the UN. 2 / SB January 21
