They Have GoodWord For Japan
Frankfurt, Nov. 2.-Repre- sentative W. Sterling Cole, Re- publican of New York, nearing the end of a global tour, said he regarded Japan-na-"the one bright spot in a dark world picture,"
Representatives Walter Norblad, Republican of Oregon and Charles Chagon, Republican of Massachusetts, expressed agreement.
All are members of the House Committee. The Armed Services group spent several weeks in the Pacle and briefly visited Athens, Rome, Vienn, Munich, Iterlin and Frankfurt.
"In Japan, the people have really but their shoulders to the wheel, nccepted our guidance, and are now ready to run their own ctutiomy within our help as soon as con- clusion of a prece treaty permits withdrawal of foreign armed forces," Cule said. "Everywhere else We find civil strife, reonomie sheringes and everybody looking to the United
Staten for assistance,"
Norblad commented that IL peared to him "we have foo many generals and not enough privates" in
the Paclite occupation forces,

U. N. RESOLUTION
ON INDONESIA NOT EFFECTIVE
BY ROBERT HENSLEY
New York, Nov. 2.-There was considerable scepticism among United Nations delegates this week-end-concerning the possible effectiveness of the Security Council's latest action on Indonesia. Admittedly designed only to create conditions under which an eventual settlement could be worked out, the decision reached late on Saturday after weeks of debate nevertheless appeared to meet nobody's entire approval.

The chief criticism levelled against with no reet interest in the matter the latest resolution by delegates
was that it failed to recognise that reports from the consular officials in Batavia clearly laid the blame for
