Washington, Ápr. 9. The way was being cleared today for President Truman to issue a long-awaited statement of United Nations objectives in the Korean war with- in a week or 10 days.
United Nations diplomats said today that they were hopeful that it would be possible for the representatives of the 14 United Nations members with forces in Korea to reach agreement this week on the terms of such a statement.
The
most generally'.accepted view hero was that the statement, expected to have an important influence on efforts to bring peace in Korea, would be issued by President Truman as head of the State entrusted by the United Nations with the unified command in Korea.

COMMENT OF THE DAY
Organisational Weakness
DURING the recent Budget debate
some criticism was levelled against the Immigration Department and in reply the Colonial Secretary, while admitting that everything was not ideul, claimed that the shortcomings were caused principally by lack of proper accommodation and shortage of senior officers. One can sympathise with any department which has to operate under such handicaps. Nevertheless, there to exist an organisational appears weakness about the Immigration Department that is not to be entirely explained away by inadequate space and staff. A correspondent this week has described his experience when he sought a re-entry permit for himself and his family. According to his version he was shuttlecocked between the ground floor and the first floor with nobody apparently either willing or capable of dealing with his applica tion. When he did finally receive attention it was a negative shake of
the head and the statement that nothing could be done about his application on the grounds that he was unable to produce a marriage certificate. The officer's decision probably was surely the perfectly correct, but applicant was entitled to a little fuller explanation. And why should a person have to suffer continual misdirecting in

showing, as to be confined to two floors? There should be some method of seeing that an applicant for, say, a the re-entry permit, is directed to proper counter immediately' without forcing him to make futile journeys between floors. When a department is harassed through lack of accommoda- tion and staff it is even more essential
that it should work to a system that will help to expedite its complicated operations. One would expect a busy department to concentrate on this as much in its own interests as those of the public it serves.
Time To Cut The Cackle THE whirlwind of empty talk and
appears to be that they have much to gain and nothing to lose. Today the Western Powers control roughly seven- tenths of Germany and her population Russia occupies only three-tenths. If, therefore, Russia by wearing the West down can secure that Germany is weak and unarmed, she has scored an impor tant victory. The danger, in short, is of the West permitting itself to be out-manoeuvred. In that connection, too much stress hua" been made of differences of emphasis in approach to Items suggested for the Foreign Minis- ters' agenda. Do these slants, naturally angled according to confiicting wishes, "matter so much? It is difficult to ballove.

cross-talk between deputies of the Big Four at the Palais Rose in Paris had entered upon a sixth week of futility, if we are to judge progress by Mr Gromyko's tactics. So little has been gained hitherto that the question which poses itself most frequently is concerned less with the outlook for agreement than with whether or not Russia has any serious intention of moeting the West half-way. And the logical answer based on the daily offering, is plainly in the negative.
