Agreement Is Near
On Power Of Council
In Regional Issues
Successful Tulks Held
By Big Five Spokesman
And Lutin Delegations
D. GOWN rv>y1orNy
By GOULD LINCOLN,
Star STAFF Correspondent.

I
SAN FRANCISCO, May IA
The United Nations Conference
today was drawing closer to an
agreement on charter language
which will maintain the author
| ity of the projected new inter-
national organization and at the
same time give regional agencies
like the inter-American group
the right to act if the World
Security Council fails to keep the
peace.
The United States draft of an
amendment defining the relation
ship between the world organization
and regional agencies was dis
cussed over the week end by repre-
sentatives of the Big Five and by
the Latin American delegations,
with good success reported. The
language of this proposal is still
open to change, however.
Paraphrase of Draft.
A paraphrase of the United States
draft as it now stands, which comes
from an authoritative source, is as
follows:
IF the Security Council fails
to maintain peace and security and
an actual attack occurs on a state
there is nothing in the charter
which shall be deemed to prevent
member states from exercising the
inherent right of self -defense-and
/! the right of self-defense may be
exercised either individually or col
lectively.
IF through a failure of the Secur-
ity Council to maintain peace and
security, this right of self-defense
has to be exercised, any measure
taken shall be promptly reported
to the Security Council, which may
still authorize or take measures OF
it's own to restore the peace"
The test of failure on the part OF
the Security Council, it was declared
by the same source, is not whether
it has observed legal forms-for ex-
ample, the vote power permitted the
five permanent members of the
council-but whether, as stipulated
/ in the charter, it has in fact dis
charged its duty of primary respon-
sibility to maintain the peace. II
the veto were the means of bring
ing about this failure, that failure
would open up the way to region
action. Such a failure might itself
produce a demand to withdraw the
veto power.
Chapultepec Issue.
One of the questions which has
been under consideration is whether
the act of Chapultepec-the regional
agreement of the Americas should
be mentioned by name in the pro-
posed amendment to the charter
1t was at first written into the
amendment, and withdrawn in a
subsequent draft. The language OF
the amendment, it is pointed out, is
inclusive, and would cover the inter-
American regional arrangements
perfectly. For that reason it is not
considered essential to mention the
act.
From purely political point OF
view, it is argued on the other hand
the writing in of the name of the
Chapultepec pact would strengthen
sentiment for the charter in the
United States and the other Ameri-
can republics.
1t became apparent in the discus.
