Security Setback

of the Security Council deciding to
keep the 1ranian case on the agenda
until May 6, and with Soviet Dele
gate Gromyko announcing that in
view of this decision he will not take
part in any future discussions of the
1ranian issue, the question arises as
to what this incident reveals of the
effectiveness of the Council in deal
ing with controversial matters af-
fecting the interests of one or more
of the great powers.
1t has been argued that the agree
ment reached between Russia and
Iran, and the latter's subsequent
move to withdraw its complaint,
demonstrated that there was no dis
pute between the two for the Coun-
Gil to consider, and that the case,
therefore, should be dropped as of
this time. France, Poland and Rus
sia supported this view, and it can
hardly be said that there was no
merit to their contention. But eight
members of the Council concluded
that it should not be dropped before
May 6, when events would show
whether the Russians had lived up to
their agreement to remove troops
from Iran.
Without attempting to pass judg-
ment on the rather legalistic argu-
ments for and against this position,
it seems clear enough that the Coun-
ellis final decision could not be
prejudicial to any legitimate Russian
interest. If they have taken their
troops out of Iran by May 6, as they
have agreed to do, that will end the
matter. If they have not done this,
the matter will stand where 1t stands
today, and the fact that the Cooncil
retained the case on its agenda in
stead of dropping it will not ma
terially affect the situation one way
or another.
This makes Mr. Gromyko's an
nouncement of his determination
not to participate in any future dis
cussion of the Iranian question the
more disturbing He is saying, in
effect, that Russia will not abide by
majority decision, and will refuse
to participate in a controversial
matter except on it's own terms.
This of course, sets a precedent, and
If 1t means that the Soviet Union
is going to pursue similar course in
all controversies involving Russian
interests the outlook for the success
full functioning Of the Security
Council is anything but bright.
The development is one which
lends substance to statement made
at the Associated Press meeting in
New York by former Supreme Court
Justice Roberts, namely, that 'the
United Nations is place where &C
ton can be taken if the great ma
tions are unanimous, and not other
wise, and that it is an organization
that never will prevent war unless
that great triple alliance (of Brit
ain, Russia and the United States
remains perfect and unanimous"
This probably is true, but if it is not
possible to obtain agreement on such
a relatively simple matter as the
Iranian dispute, what hope is there
of achieving that higher measure of
agreement essential to establish
ment of the parliament of the
World" which Mr.. Roberts advo-
Gates? 1t seems clearly essential, for
the present at least, to build as best
We can on what we have The out
come of the Iranian discussions is
profound discouragement, but it can
hardly justify any one in writing off
the United Nations as a failure.

Our Troops in Europe

NOt11lg COulQ De more important
at this stage of occupation than the
strict enforcement of General Nc
Narney's stern order for an imme-
diate and marked improvement of
discipline and esprit de corps among
our troops in Europe. For some time
past there have been disturbing re-
ports, particularly from Germany,
indicating a crying need for such
action. so that the call for it cannot
be regarded as having been made in
haste
The seriousness of the situation is
clear from what General McNarney
says. American troops lin certain
localitiessand commands" have been
engaging in black-market activities.
There has been widespread drunken
ness. The incidence of venereal dis
ease has been excessive. There has
been high rate of AWOL cases and
automobile accidents. Too many
soldiers have been dressing careless
ly, have been violating rules of mill
tary courtesy, and have been show
ing complaining attitude toward
the constituted authority and duties
essential ITO the maintenance of
proper standards of soldierly
efficiency.
AS chief of our Army forces in Eu-
rope, General McNarney certainly
would not call attention to these
conditions if they were to be found
only in small measure The sad fact
Is, however, that in his judgment
they have become common enough
to reflect discreditably on "the fine
performance of our troops in gen.
eral." At one time, during the peak
of our precipitous rehabilitation,
with the breaking up of units and
the rapid turnover of officers and
men. some decline in discipline and
morale could perhaps be excused on
the ground of it's being psychology
ically inevitable. But that time has
passed. Now, as General McNarney
declares, the European theater is
approaching reasonable stability,
and any further tolerance of low
standards of conduct could do ir-
reparable harm. Quite properly,
therefore, and not a moment too
soon. he has ordered all commanders
and their subordinates to regard it
as their most important immediate
function" to correct the situation.
Some of the more vocal critics of
our top military command, for rea-
sons of their own innocent or other
wise, may try to raise clamor over
this order by misrepresenting it as
additional evidence of so-called
"caste" thinking among the brass
hats" The responsible commanders.
however, ought not to be inhibited in
the slightest by any such talk What
General McNarney wants to see done
Is what every sensible citizen must
want to see done To do nothing
about it would be not merely to in
vite contempt for our authority
among Germans and Italians, but
also-and more Importantly, in Gen
eral McNarney'S opinion-to under
mine the self-respect and virtue of
the individual American soldier. An
army must have discipline and mo-
rale or it can degenerate into some
thing little better than a mob. The
situation in Europe demands the
most active and intelligent correc-
tive measures. Without them last
ing injury may be done to the repu-
tatlon and prestige of the United

To the Editor of The Star
In the past you have expressed edi-

way in which Messrs. Stimson and Pat

knowledge of what went on that their
administration was of the worst, and
in support of my opinion 1 should like

News Noies
 From Siika

SITKA, Alaska, June 29-(Special Correspondcnce) - Southeast Alas kans are being fully compensated for last summers bad weather. During May there was only slightly over two inches of rain. This month there has been a half inch of rain. Average for June is 3.35 inches.
 For residents Of Ia&estown Bay the weather IS anything but bowl of cherries. Depending on the many streams for their water supply the housewives are having a particu- larly bad time since the streams have started drying up. Even the wells are running dangerously low. Water is being carried from the few springs wearying distances, not only for drinking and cooking, but also for washing. Without water, tke plumbing is useless, raising still further problems. A long-last- ing downpour would be welcomed by Jamestown Bayites.
