A Foregone Conclusion

Dr. Hubertus van Nook. acting governor general of the Netherlands East Indies. has given up the United Nations Organization before begins to function This evident his reply to the Jayanese leaders proposal that their dispute with the Dutch be put to the UNO and their agreement to abide by the decision if it were unfavorabe.
 Dr. van Nook said that he was in favor of direct dis cussons rather than negotiations through international body that does to have unanimy among it's members" One scarcely blame him.
 Under ordinary circumstances it would be silly to raise such objection to action by an arbtave or legislative body functionng by the will of the majority It would be if American lawyer refused to take to the Su preme Court President refused to request of
 controversial piece of legislation by Congress because there differences of opinion among the justices and congressman,
 But in the United Nations Organization the will of the majority cannot function in decisive matters No final tion be taken without the unanimous of the United States, Great Britain France, Russia and China who the permanent members of the Security Council
 The remarkable thing about Dr. Mook's objection is that he rather than the Javanese who raised it. For if the Javanese proposal accepted and the dispute sub mitted to the UNO, the cards would almost certainly be stacked in favor of the Dutch Here is how it would prob ably work:
 The matter would up under Article 3s of the Unit ed Nations Charter which provides that Wthout prejudice to provisions Articles 33 (deang with disputes whose settlement initiated by the UNO) the Security Council may if all parties to dispute request make recommendations to the parties with to pacific set clement of the dispute.
 In this event the Netherlands if were represented the time in the Security Councils nonpermanent member ship Qndonesia is not member of the UNO of course would have to refrain from voting But Britain perma nent member would vote And Brtains vote would have to agree with the others of the Big Five.
 It unlikely that Britain, which has done most of the fighting for the Dutch against the rebels would have the cynical gall vote for Javanese Independence in the Security Council Probably the United States Russia and China and possibly France would vote against Britain But that would make difference. There would be conclusive action because there could be unanimous agreement.
 Foreseeabe outcomes such this are bound to be a commonplace in the United Nations Organizations history just long the veto provision remains in the Charter and nation able to block the action of 49 others the basis of it's national interests whims

 In Washington the hard-working Thai minister, M, R. Seni Pramoj, likewise did not recognize his countrys declaration of war and he began organizing Free Thai resistance movement. Twenty-one Thai students in U universities hand-picked, made officers in the Free Thai army and turned over to Office of Strategic ServiceS-Gen.

By March. 1943, they ready to sail for India, cross into China and make their way into Thailand Two were caught and shot, but the other 1s did legion service

 Ruth's underground forces numbered 400O0 more. In addition the OSS boys trained 10000 guer rillas. They built arstrips in the junges, set up weather stations, operated radios rescued American and British flyers and in general operated one of the best spy and intelligence rings of the whole Jap war. All this time OSS and OWI were pumping propaganda into Thaand, telling the natives about the Atlantic Charter and what bright new world this going to be, come peace.

 Richards had laid out a carefully planned scneo- ule of stops that amounted 10 a cooks tour oi offi oerS clubs so thc Investigating CongresSmen would hear only what the War Department wanted. But he didn't reckon with the two-fisied Congressman from Michigan.
 The subcommittee stopped at Karaehi for lunch and were told 10 get back on the plane at i:i5 10 start for Abadan. On his way to the officers mess Engel stopped 10 talk 10 some young Air Corps off who had been flying transport planes over the Hump. Immediately. chaperon Richards rushed t'T and tried to break up the conversation.
 You'll have To eat right away in order 10 make the plane, Congressman, he said
 But the Congressman courteously brushed him off, got out pencil and began taking notes After the others had eaten, Gen Richards again rushed out exciteey and tried to hurry Engel to the plane
 We came here to get the facts, General" de- clared the Congressman and intend to stay here until get them"
 Richards went off, but returned almost mmedi- atey to say that the plane was leaving. He warned Engel bluntly that he would be left behind if he didn't cease his questioning and get on the plane
 Take your plane and go," snapped En- gel angriy I'm going to get this story if it takes me until Christmas. If you want to leave without me- go right ahead"
 Gen Richards turned to a second lieutenant in the group and ordered in crisp tones: T want you to report to your commanding officer everything you have told the Congressman"
 By this time other members of the Congresson- al party had returned to watch the fireworks and formed a ring around Richards and Enge who were glaring at each other fercey. Unfazed by the gener aS browbeang tactics, Engel insisted that all o1fl- except those to whom he had been talking leave

Thai government was flown to Lord Louis Mount battens Southeast Asian supreme headquarters at Randy, Ceylon The British proposed to move ln an army of 10000 to accept the surrender of 7OOOo to 0000 Jap forces of occupation. That was all right though the Thais felt they could have done that job themselves. Also the Thaianders were willing to make good on damage to any British property.
 But along with these purely military terms the British negotiators led by Maberey E. Dening Brit sh Foreign Office adviser to Mountbatten presented a set of economic demands These demands have nev- CT been made public. They were presented as being joint U S. and British terms. Actually, U. S. officials in Ceylon and Thailand had never heard of them, the Thai negotators discovered when they backed off and asked their American pals what the pitch On American insistence, the economic terms dropped-for the time.
 They were brought up again when Thai negot- ators came back to Randy Sept. 25. According to Thai sources, these demands would have turned their whole country to the British for an indefinite time Moving in under this occupation, British inter- ests reported to have done all right in negota- tions for Thais principal exports of rice rubber and tin. If the British modify their terms, they still have an economic victory to their credit
 Negotiations were broken off Oct. 4 when Dening had to go to Java where the British are also having trouble. Negotiations were resumed at Singapore Dec.4, and may may not be concluded this week. A new set of terms supposedly has been presented the Thailanders. The British government has been busy denying that the terms are harsh, but that remains to be when the terms are made public.
 Pramoj has been in Bangkok for about three months and is now his country's Prime Minister. If he forced to sign over his country to British occu- pation instead of Jap occupation, that probably will be the end of him.
 The question this raises for the U. s. Department of State is whether this country will let the British take over Thaand with the rest of the Malay penn sua will stick to Secretary Byrness statement of last Aug. 18 recognizing and backing up the new Thailand as free sovereign and independent coun- try

THE COMMANDOS ARE DISBANDED
(New York Herald-Tribune)

(New York Herald -Tribune)
 There was time, in some very dark days for Britain and the world when the word Commando" had magic in 1t. The tough, skilled men who served in the Commandos were not yet the spearheads of an at tack that had weight and power behind it; they were, rather, arrow points, darts, sharp and damaging in themselves and promises of greater things to come They were the offensive spirit in world that had, perforce, gone on the defensive against the paralyzing thrust of aggression. In that time the Com mandos setting out on their haz- ardous raids from embattled Britain took on symbolic value that was greater, even, than the military ad- vantages which their courage won on the walls of Fortress Europe.
 Now the Commandos have been disbanded. Theirs was a service so desperate as to be out of key with the armies of a period of victorious peace. AS one of their number, Colonel Robert Henriques, has said: "The whole purpose of our recruit ment, our training and our special kind of discipline was to narrow down our object in life and our hope to one single end: to have ourselves expended on some enter prise that was really vital to the survival of Britain" The job is done; the great emergency is over. The Commandos did their part in bringing new confidence to the free world and in setting an example for the millions who were to follow them across the Channel.

LIFE INSURANCE
(Boston Post)

American people have long recog- nized the value of life insurance in planning for future security, so per hapS it is no surprise that 1945 has proven to be the best year in this field since 1881. The estimate is that new policies totalling more than SIS, 300, ,0OO, 900 were purchased during the year, an increase of 5 per cent over the 1914 figure. It is a heartening fact that more than half of America now owns life in surance policies. with 100000 pol icyholders having an estimated to- tai coverage of $154, 500, 100000. Im- pressive statistics such as these are a tribute to American foresighted- ness.

THE YEARS BIG STORIES
(New Haven Journal-Courierl

(NeW Haven JOurnal-Cour1er)
 What was the years biggest story? According to editors of .In- ternational News Service, the story of the atomic bomb.- This is one case where immediate interest and lasting importance throughout the ages are likely a coincide.
 More surprising is the fact that Japan's surrender ranks second and Germany's only fourth, President Roosevelt's death coming in be- tween. In menace to the world Hit Ter outranked Hirohito, though Japan aroused more hatred in the United States than did Germany Then came the deaths of Hitler and Mussolini, and after them Churchill's defeat and the triumph of British Labor.
 The British elections were really more important than the fact that two beaten male-factors died in a particular way, but the human i1l- terest in the malefactors outweigh ed the complex political situation
