Start A New Thrust South Of Pyongyang

Tokyo, Oct. 10. United Nations tanks and infantry today burst out on either side of North Korean troops manning defences just north of the 38th Parallèl. The British Commonwealth Brigade 'led westward thrust across the Yesong River towards the west coast port of Haeju, 90 miles south of Pyongyang, the northern capital.

Troops of the American First Cavalry Division, pushing directly towards Pyongyang from Kaesong, today fought their way to about four miles north of the 38th Parallel.

presented by Mr John Foster Dalles, to empower the General Assembly of the United Nations to take over the functions of the Security Council in suppressing aggression by military force in case the Counell is unable to act is the most sweeping and also the most promising proposal yet mode Nations genuine to give the United authority. If carried through, this pro Kramme would provide The answer to many of the criticisms levelled against the world organisation. It would largely solve the problem of the veto, withou! elther abolishing the veto itself, or, as propased by some, driving the Soviet bloc from the United Nations. And It would do this wholly within the letter and spirit of the Charter, without waiting for that revision which appears to be impossible under the present circumstances, AR uriginally conceived, the General 45- sembly was to be the parliamentary body of the United Nations and the Security Counell its executive, especially in all matters pertaining to the maintenance of international pence and security, But there

powers in the are many reserve Charter which the Assembly can invoke to folf the Charter's purposes if the executive brenks down, and the frequent paralysis of the Council has already com- pelled the Assembly to take action that goes beyond its merely parliamentary powers. The American programme would merely spell out just what power of actiori the Assembly really has, and how I can best employ these powers in an emergency, The basic provision under which Assembly can act is Article 10, which says that the Assembly may discuss any ques- tions or any matters within the scope of the present Charter or relating to the powers and functions of any organs provided in the present Charter *** and may make recommendations to the mem- bors of the United Nations or to the Security Council, or both, on any such questions, or matters."

The one specific exception provided in Article 10 18 that the As- sembly shall not make recommendations with regard to a dispute or situation in respect to which the Security Council is exercising the functions assigned to it in the present Charter. This would mean, For instance, that the Assembly cannat deal with Korea while the Security Coun- cil is dealing with the same issue. the Assembly may take up the issue under two conditions. One is if the Security Counell Itself decides to submit matter to the Assembly—a decision which is not subject to a veto but can be taken by majority vote, na hay been done in several cases in the past. The other con- dition, on which legal experts agrée, is that the Security Council, while retaining an sue on its agenda, is actually pre- vented from "exercising" its functions owing to a deadlock or a veto. The one remaining difference between the sembly and the Security Council is that the Security Council may order enforce- ment action, while the Assembly can only recommend it. That difference is impor- tant because refusal by any nation to carry out n decision of the Security Coun ell in a direct violation of the Charter but refusal to carry out a recommendation of the Assembly is not. This means that the Assembly would be able, to provide the important moral sanction for an enforce- ment action to suppress aggression, but it could scarcely precipitate one unless its recommendation was backed by at least some of the Big Powers who would have to bear the main burden of it. This pro- vides adequate safeguards against the remote contingency, feared by some, that the small nations might combine to order the Big Powers Into war against their will or judgment.
