SAFEGUARD OF THE VETO

By J. M. ROBERTS

E United

VERY time the Russians une the veto in the Nations Security Council, other nations begin to fume again as though it were a private device invented in Moscow to "prevent postwar world co-operation.

It isn't, but the politicians have messed around with it so much that people get confused.

Chances are, as the result, a lot of them would vote if they were given an opportunity to have the veto power abolished. Yet the United Nations veto is the weapon forged specifically by the Americans for the defence of America. Without it there would have been no United Nations, because the United States Senate could not have approved the chanter.

Without it the have-nots could vote America into most any position, they desired. They could declare war in the name of the United States without consent of the Congress. They could vote that United States possession & the atom bomb, a menace to peace and take it over without giving-America any guarantees in return.

That is they could, if the United States didn't pull out of the United Nations first.

Theoretically, it was to have been the last ditch device for use only in such possible circum- stances as those mentioned above,

WHY did they live at the bottom of a well?" Alice persists.

"It was a tracte well," replies tha Dormouse helplessly.

"Keep on talking, brother," says Alice. I can hardly wait for the Day-off."

"And they was learning to draw," saya the Dormouse.

"Yeah," says Allee, and they was learning to draw what?"

"Treacle," says the Dormouse. "My, my," says Alice. "So they was learning to draw treacle? Huh

"I want a clean cup," interrupts the Hatter. "Let's move one place on."

When they have moved round, Allee returns to the subject.

"And where did they draw

trenele from?" she asks.

the

"You can draw water, out of a

water well." says the latter.

"For the love cź Mike," says Alice, getting mad. Then, turning to the Dormouse she says conxingly, "What

lse did they draw?"

"Everything beginning with N," says the Dormouse.

"Why N7" osks Alice.

"Why not?" asks the Hatter, Allee is silent after this, crack and the Dormouse is asleep again. But the Hatter pinches him and he wakes with a little shriek.

"Everything that begins with N." goes on the Dormouse, such noodles,

"Nuts," says Alice,

But the charter doesn't say that. Each major power is left to decide what is vital to it and to veto oc- cordingly,

As a matter of fact, it is hard to And a difference in the principle be- tween the Russian use of the veto and the United States position when the Pacific Islands trustceship was under discussion,

and unld it would submit to trustee- ship on those terms and rejected the amendments with the threat to withdraw the trusteeship offer and to do as she pleased with the islands.

The trouble in the Security Coun- ell is that it was designed to work under the rule of unanimity among nations which trust each other-and they just don't..

Another basic trouble is that the. nations are not yet willing to make the sacrifices necessary to accom- plish what they set out to do-en- sure peace.
