BRITAIN TO BUILD NEW RESERVE ARMY

London, May 14.

By 1954 Britain should have a Territorial Army of 500,000 ready and equipped to go into action at 24 hours' notice. Field-Marshal Sir Wil- liam Slim, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, revealed this when he gave details of the new reserve which is being built.

Reorganisation of the Territorials, he said, will mean that nearly 60 units

of the British Army will be amalgamated or cease to exist.

"Watch-dog" plan for human rights defeated in UN

Lake Success, May 13,

India today lost the fight to set up a United Nations Committee which would act as a “watch-dog" over human rights throughout the world. Despite every effort made by Mrs. Mansha Mehta,

the Indian delegate, the Human Rights Com- mission did not support an Indian proposal which would have given a projected "Human Rights Committee" comprehensive functions as a supervision body.

The Indian article proposed: | As it now stands the seven- "The Committee shall superviseman Committee will be elected the observance of the provisions from a panel nominated by States of the Human Rights' Covenant. | signatory to the Covenant and In this purpose it shall collect composed of persons of high information with regard to all standing and of recognised ex- matters relevant to the obser- perlence in the fold of human vance and enforcement of human rights. Any State can nominate o rights as defined in the Covenant national of another State. The within the States parties to the members of the Committee - will Covenant.

serve for five years and be eligi- ble for re-election."

"Such Information will include legislation and judicial decision. On receipt of information the Committee can initiate an enquiry if it thinks necessary."

These provisions appeared to frighten other members of the Commission. They were not pro- pared to set up A Committee which continually keeps an eye on any violations of human rights throughout the world. Instead, the Commission voted to the Committee the right to "mediate" ' between two States when one has accused the other of violating human rights.

Today's proposal by the Human Rights Commission now goes to the Economie and Social Counell for approval and after that to the General Assembly for final action.-Router.
