Breach Appears To Be Widening

(By John Parris)

New York, Oct. 31.

The United Nations stands in the middle of a fundamental conflict between the world's major powers. This conflict is mainly between Russia on the one hand and the United States and Britain on the other. It is a conflict be- tween the East and the West.

The conflict is over the kind of a world the various nations want. It is over the rights of states and the rights of man himself. It also extends to relationships between the large powers and the small.

HUMAN MACHINES FOR HONG KONG
