Their sources say that, although obviously desirable; such a step is im practicable as the situation stands in the region today,
The establishment of the Council follows the signature of a security treaty by the three powers last September under which they undertook to "net to meet the common danger" in the event of an artied attack on any of their territories in the Pacific,
