16. Reconsideration of the Word "Aborigines"
(from "Chairman's Report of the Fifteenth Meeting")
The Technical Committee noted that objection to the word "aborigines" in
Paragraph 2 of the Schedule had now been withdrawn by Denmark.
Of other countries that might have been affected by this change and to whom an
enquiry had been sent by the Secretary, Canada and the U.S.A. had replied that
they were not in favour of any change.
The Technical Committee believed that the matter needed no further
consideration by the Commission and the Commission agreed with this view.
