Vandenberg on U. 5.
Portion Of Budget
BY ihe Assoeiafed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Nov. i6.--
Secretary General Trygve Lie said
today he agreed in principle with
the contention of Senator Vanden-
berg. Republican, OF Michigan that
the United States should not pay
one-half the administrative costs
|of the United Nations.
Speaking before the United Ma
tions Hudgetary Committee where
Senatof vandenberg has insisted
twice that the United States could
not pay more than one third the.
l947 budget Of s23, ,ooO, 900, Mr.. Lie
|declared
7 agree In principle with what
has been said by the United States
delegate
Current conditions may make It
necessary for one State to- bear q
very high percentage of the budget.
But ! feel that 1t would be llndesir-
able ffnni every point of view to
allow this condition to continue
over aperiod of many years.
The international character of
the United Nations would be
threatened If one State were made
to feel that 1t was primarily re-
sponsible for maintaining the or
ganization in a financial way.
Even at the cost of sacrifice we
must guard against anything which
will threaten the independence and
freedom of action and the true in
ternational nature Of our orgarli-
zation."
Discussing how a lowered Ameri-
can assessment could be made up
by the other so countries, Mr.. Lie
commented:
THE present figure for some
countries should be increased. I
am sure that it can be increased
without inflicting a damaging bur-
den upon the national budget Of
any one Of the nations concerned. I"
Senator Vandenberg also sug-
gested a rs per cent ceiling on any
nations contribution after agreeing
to the SO per cent for the United
States as temporary measure.
Mr.. Lie said he believed there should
be both an upward limit and a
downward limit to the amount
which any state should pay"
Answers Soviet Charge.
Answering Russian charges that
the u. N. was going into the "propa-
ganda business" MIR. Lie asserted:
"The United Nations Is not In the
propaganda business, in the
American sense of the expression.
II by propaganda you mean infor-
nation, as the Russians generally
employ the term, we can only say
that 1t is our duty, as defined by

|Aihee May Ask Vote

Policy Tilt tomorrow
BY the As,ocioted Press

LONDON, Nov. 16. = Prime
Minister Attlee,. assuming the
role of a fighting leader, is pre-
pared to ask the House OF Com
mons Monday for his first vote
of confidence to crush decisively
"a revolt in the Labor Party
against his foreign policy.
An authoritative government In
formant declared today that it was
quite probable" that Mr.. Attlee
would take this action to show how
small" is the vote of rebel Labor
Party members whose criticism oi
Foreign Secretary Beyin has pre-
cipitated crisis in government
ranks.
Whether Mr.. Attlee will 60 to that
extreme depends on the lengths tc
which the rebels themselves carry
Mondays discussion of foreign pol.

amendment to the Kings address, :
which constituted Mr.. Attlee's off-
cial declaration of policy for the
ls46-47 parliamentary session.

Mr.. Bevin's policies won an in
dorsement from his Conservative
predecessor, Anthony Eden, who
said in speech at Newcastle on
Tyne today that Mr.. Bevin is 'spur-
suing the right course" in seek
Ing to build. .up the authority of the
United Nations and strengthen "the
rule of law" between nations.
Tom O'Brien, a Labor member oi
Parliament, roundly attacked the
parliamentary critics tonight, accus-
ing them of behaving "like a con-
spittles" and moral assassins" and
temptible coterie of Comintern lick
said. I'VE do not want an .Affaire
Wallace in Britain"
Mr.. O'Brien, who is q member oi
the Trade Union Congress Execu-
tive Committee, said the action OF
the insurgents was "being misin-
terpreted the world over"
Policy Review Demanded.
The amendment signed by 58 La
Dor members of Parliament-five
more signatures were added since
yesterday-demands a review OF
British foreign policy along Socialist
lines tied neither to American ''free
enterprise" nor Soviet Communism
Whether the actual amendment

question. In announcing plans to
continue general debate on the
Kings speech the House of Com
mons speaker said the subject Of
foreign policy would be discussed,
and added: "If 1t should be found
more convenient, I would be pre-
pared to call the amendment"
This maneuver apparently placed
the initiative in the hands of those
who signed the amendment. In
formed parliamentary observers said
the Rebels do not want to press the
matter to vote.
: If the amendment Is debated,
however, Mr.. Attlee would have an
opportunity to demand a vote, and

The Citizen"

ity that every person has? One
of our greatest privileges is that
of citizenship. Some people be-
lieve that one is not a citizen an
til he has arrived at the age when
he may vote. However, one is a
citizen of his home as a small
child, a citizen of his school when
old enough to enter, and at all
times the citizen of his country
Citizenship in one way means
membership in a group or a So
ciety of people. These people act
together to form III government
for our country. Our government
is exercised directly by the citi-
zens of the United States.
Good citizens will get along
with others in their study, work,
and play. Some are liked bet
ter than others because of their
pleasing manner and attitude to-
ward the people around them
Everyone has their own faults but
we should try our hardest to pick
the best of everything. We dc
not enjoy at any time having q
person around us who is selfish
and has unpleasant habits.
There are so many qualities
of a good citizen. Some of the
first things we think Of are: hon
esty, truthfulness, thoughtfulness
self-control, courtesy, and good
leadership.
If we think of these things in
everything we start to do, we viii
be one of the best citizens of oui
community and country. VIZ
should look for the higher things
in life and in that way people
can say that you are doing your
part. Our best opportunity to
become a good citizen begins
when we are in our childhood.
If we take advantage and use 1t
in the right way, we will be good
citizens of the home, school, and
country in which we live. Each
of us should remember our golden
rule, do unto others as you
would have them do unto you"
