PERHAPS the most pleasing
feature of the report is that it recommends that the Head of State should be elected from
among the
present Malayan princes. Undoubtedly this privilege is owing to them in view of their willingness to re- linquish their rights in the national interest. But It might be expected that a more welcome appointment would be either one suggest. ed by the present adminis- tration or a leading and
popular British personality, disinterested in nationali politice, like Mr Malcolm Macdonald.
The authority given the lead of State is that he should be able to dissolve parlia. ment and nominate 11 mem. bers of the 22-seat Senate. He is also able to appoint the Prime Minister, but apart from these powers in bound to accept the advice of the Prime Minister or the Cabinet, These are more or less traditional
powers with the exception of the appointment of Senate members which is probably designed to preserve its dia. tinctive character against modern forms of constitu- tional assault.
But Britain, the United States, Australia and Cuba, who' had proposed the mission, made another bid in a new resolution introduced immediately their draft had been defeated by the Soviet vote.

Israel Must Obey UN
Orders Declares Ike
Washington, Feb. 20.
President Eisenhower said tonight that the United Nations had no choice but to exert pressure upon Israel to comply with UN resolutions for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Egyptian territory.
"I do not believe that Israel's default should be ignored because the United Nations has not been able effectively to carry out its resolutions condemning the Soviet Union for its armed suppression of Hungary," said Mr Eisenhower. "Perhaps this is a case where the proverb applies that two wrongs do not make a right."
