IN COUNCIL

DEBATE

United Nations, Sept. 17.

The Soviet Union, today vetoed the Japanese application for United Nations membership after charging that Japan is an American military base and not an independent State.

In a bitter exchange between the United States delegate, Mr. Warren Austin, and the Soviet delegate, Mr Jacob Malik, concerning Russia's charges against America, Mr Austin told Russia it was not true that Japan was under United States occupation and he said that United States troops were now stationed in Japan as the result of the pact con- cluded when the two countries recognised that "Japan, lacking means of self-defence, could not exist in a power vacuum with the danger of uncalled- for aggression in the world".

Mr Malik answered that the United States was reviving the "spirit of jingoism and revenge of Japanese milit arists" and added that in the six days Russia fought against Japan in the Pacific war it accomplished more than the He said Russia saved "millions American forces in the course of the whole war,
