all-important
subject of preserving world peace through the establishment of an international military force controlled by the United Nations, Mr Vyshinsky has come along with positive proposals. He "demands** int the United Nations shall set up a permanent International police furce under the Security Council, and he sug- gests that the general subjeet of world pence shall again be discussed by the Big Five. Superficially hath proposals appear to be quite reasonable and acceptable: and would be, but for two things. Firstly. Mr Vyshinsky and Russin Know that further Big Five talks on this subject nre not likely to yield anything, tangible. wille on the other hand they could quite easily be used further to fog the issue of how best to safeguard and pre- serve the peace of the world. They could also be made the, medium, if Russia No felt disposed, of further delaying any pasitive decision and action-especially along lines which Russia regarded as inimical to her pel interests and her future plans. There are good grounds for this mistrust of the Russian proposal because Big Five discussions on the securing of world peace, as well as kindred subjects, have in the past come to naught because Russia has not been prepared to concede her position on vital issues, Hence Mr Lester' Pearson's expressed doubt about another Big Five meeting meaning "effective and genuine consulta- tion,"
And it Is the Soviet genuineness
In her approach to interuptional problems
that causes the principal misgivings. Moreover, one is tempted to enquire, why should it be imagined that the Big Five can get nearer n formula for world peace acceptable to the United Nations than the General Assembly? As Mr Foster Dulles polated out at Lake Success earlier this week, there is no reason to believe that two-thirds of the members of the United Nations would vote and behave irresport-
the whole organisation, Nor is it ensy avoid suspecting another ulterior motive behind this Russian suggestion fo hold a
Big Five meeling. Chirin sa member of the Big Five, but presumably Russia is expecting that it is the Peking regime that would be represented at these parleys and that Russia, in consequence, would have support, which would other- wise be lacking, for whatever line of argument she decided to follow. And two vetoes are better than one! Nevertheless, the essential distinction between the Soviet proposals and those advanced by Mr Foster Dulles on behalf of the United Sintes is that Russia insists that the establishnient and control of a United Nations police force shall be the sole duly of the Security Council-n body which can he rendered impotent by the velo of any single member. Mr Vyshinsky, therefore, is not offering an amendment to Mr Dulles' original plan, which is to give the General Assembly power to create and control United Nations forces, but A dirert! negative. In effect, Me Vyshinsky making a last ditel defence for his most precious destructive weapon, the veto, Deprived of that and he is also robbed of his argument that majority deelsions in the United Nations are not wholly legal. The issue now before the Politicni Com- mittee at Lake Success is a vital une. Mr Vyshinsky's groposal is approved it menns that Russia can either force her plans on to the Security Council, or, by applying the velo there, can prevent any alternative schemes being put into effect. On the other hand. ir the General Assembly Is Invested with executive powers now possessed by the Security Council, the veto become non-operative and majority voting legalises i wish nu authorises the decisions reached, 'The time has long past for the veto to be rendered innocuous: the opportunity to do this has now arisen.

Big boost to the campaign here to secure com- pensation for POWs who suffered in Japanese camps has been given today by news that Aus- tralian POW victims are to be helped by their Government.
British ex-Far East POWs are not only gratified that their Australian comrades are to benefit from a £250,000 special fund to be instituted by the Austric- lian Government, but welcome particularly the Aus- tralian Government's acceptance of the Report of an investigating committee that compensation payments should be made by countries such as Japan which violated the Geneva Convention prisoners of war.
