The Duke of Edinburgh, at present in the Mediterrancan in command of the frigate Magpie, will fly home to attend the ceremony, which will be held in one of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace.

The negative voling of the Soviet bloc filled naturally into a pattern of obstruction which was as ex- pected. Less easy to explain was the number of abstentions which recurred as paragraph after paragraph
the of resolution was put to the Assembly. The reasons for these abstentions are not easily discernible, and they become even less intelligible when the Indian delegate, the leader of the abstentionists declares: "During the last few months India has tried her beat, at the cost of some mis- understanding, to exercise a restraining influence un all concerned and to prevent the Korean condict from spreading.

In different words, this means precisely what the Soviet bloc voting In- tends to convey-that the majority of the United Nations members are hay-wire in voting as they have done, and that they have no proper conception of how the Korcan problem should be treated. Indin's attempts to mediate in the Korean dispute have been probably well intentioned, but mediation on sallefactory grounds was never intended to apply by Russia and her North Korean partners. This has been made obvious to the majority opinion of the United Nations since the start of the confilet, and doubly emphasised by the manner in which the war was begun, The Korean war has been something more than a civil conflict: was always intended to be so by its Instigators.
