u. S. Moves To
Curb Veto In
United Nations
Bv sIcRID. ARNE

Washington-The United Stat
es has taken two steps that look
as though it would support a
move to white down the I've
TO" power in the United Nations.
That question is due to come
up, perhaps explosively, before
the u. NJ. General Assembly of
81 nations in September. II will
be brought up by the dramatic
Herbert v. Evatt of Australia, a
consistent fighter against the veto
since the U.N. charter was writ
ten at San Francisco.
The Veto is a voting formu-
la. On all votes to take impor-
tant action in the security coun-
Gil the Big Five-the u. S., the
United Kingdom, Russia, France
and China-must agree. If one
of them votes mo" there can be
no action. Russia has voted INC"
several times already, to the OBJ
vious irritation of other nations.
Little Nations Checkmated
All the 46 little nations in U.
N. could favor an action, but if
one of the big powers said mo"
the little nations could just bite
their finger-nails. II it for that
reason that Evatt, representing
a small nation, has battled so
valiantly.
At San Francisco Russia insist
ed on the veto. The U. s., u. K,
China and France supported the
idea, but it was never known just
how enthusiastically the four
went along. The conference was
run on the thesis that the five
big nations must agree or there
would be no world organization

Problem Whipped

Johannesburg-A flogging of
a white man Is years ago for
offenses committed IN the tribal
realm of Bechuanaland is now
threatening to precipitate another
corridor-to-the-sea problem which
nav De brought before the Unit
ed Nations.
Chief Sshekedi Khama, 40
year-old ruling regent of 100000
Bamangwato tribesmen in the
heart of South Africa, is clamor-
ing to so to London, and if neces-
sary before the United Nations,
in a fight to checkmate moves
that might absorb his Bechuana-
land and the adjoining South
Vets Africa into the Union of
South Africa.
Bechuanaland, approximately
the size of the state of Alabama,
IS a protectorate of Great Brit
ain. Southwest Africa. formerly
German, has been held under
mandate by the Union of South
Africa since World War /.
Wants Railway to Sea
Bechuanaland has a 500-mile
frontier with South-Wes Africa,
through which Tshekedi hopes to
reach the sea by railroad. The
chief has ambitious plans fox de-
veloping his tribal land, especial
ly since recent discoveries of coal
in Bechuanaland. An outlet to
the sea also would facilitate ship
ment of his Bamangwato tribes
cattle.
South Africa only wants our
meat when she has none of her
own" declares this African king.
"She does not want to encourage
our export meat trade. She wants
to stifle it,"
However, just how much of
Tshekedi's bitterness is linked
with the flogging he ordered in
1888 is a matter of speculation in
johannesburg. In August of that
year sensational reports were
published that Tshekedi had r
dered a South African settler in
Bechuanaland-one Mcintosh
flogged for "a serious misdemean-
or"
Tshekedi admitted his respon-
sibility. but said he had repeat
eddy complained to the Union
government concerning the acti-
vities of Mcintosh, and when
nothing was done, he considered
action under traditional desert
law his only course. The Kala-
hari desert occupies much of
Bechuanaland.
An armed naval party under
Adm. Sir Edward Evans, acting
high commissioner, entered the
inland kingdom, held an inquiry
and removed Tshekedi from his
throne. The chief was denied
permission to go to London to
plead his case, but he was rein

Not a Conquered People

London again and the British
government refuses to grant him
passage.
