Geneva, Sept. 8.-The United Nations Com. mittee on non-self-governing territories today voted. in favour of a Netherlands resolution that the sovereignty of a self-governing territory was not within the Committee's competence and rejected a Soviet attempt to have the Committee recognise the independence question of the Indonesian Republic.

The Colombian delegato said if the Soviet proposal were adopted he would propose that the Americans delete reference, in information submitted by member nations, to British Honduras, the Falklands and Belize.

Rome, Sept: 8.-Accusations by Bulgarian, Rumanian and Hungarian delegates to the 37th Con- gress of the Inter-Parliamentary Union that the United States was imperialist and a "Shylock" brought a sharp retort on Wednesday from Senator Alben W.

"Notwithstanding assertions made here that the United States has not carried out its commitments at Yalta and Potsdam these agreements have been meticulously carried out. If there have been any violations it is not by the Government of the people of the United States."

Senator Barkley was replying to speeches made on Tuesday and the day before by delegates from the "new democracies" in the debate on International morality.
