But the resolution, proposed by the Afro-Asian bloc, condemning Israel's failure, to comply with earlier re- solutiors and necking 213 immediate withdrawal of Israeli troops from Egypt, -demonstrates not only woolly-headed approach to this particular problem, but also the familiar reluctance of the United Nations to get to grips with the thorny Issues confronting it. Why Britain should have sup- ported this particular reso- lution is beyond Admittedly the plea-that an Invader should evacuato cap-| tured territory is difficult to oppose because of the misunderstandings and mali- clously wrong inferences a vote against it would arouAU, But does it mean that because a well-meaning but aloppy and unrealistic reso lution is proposed that those! who know bettor must ap- prove it to placate the majority? The UN is asked to grasp the nettle, not to in- dulge in genteel diplomacy.

PART from Israel, only. Franco has the courage of of its convictions to oppose the resolution. Does Britain now believe that the with- drawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and the Gulf of Aqaba will solve the border situation or dissipate the chronio enmity between Jew and Arab?

Mr Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the Commission, issued this statement; "The Soviets yesterday conducted another, nuclear weapons test in their current series which has been resumed since the announcement of a Soviet test was made by the United States on November 17, 1958,"”.

On November 17, the AEC said it had "detected an explosion in within the range of magnitude of their previous nuclear defonations.""

The Commission had said earlier that a Soviet test in August involved a device "with a yield of less than one megaton."

A megaton was the equivalent of the explosive force of one million tons of TNT. Today's announcement was the 17th by the United States of a Soviet atomic test. It was the fourth announcement since Aug. 26 when the start of the current Soviet test series was reported to have begun two days earlier.--Reuter.
