World Government by Veto
These Daysbry rtxs Sso' '"5s:95s58nS%i e: 5ozols%1

The Anglo-Russian quarrel over
Greece has produced one fact which
is indicative OF the disease that
already besets and probably will
ultimately kill the UN0. II is a
disease called veto. II reduces the
UN0 from a parliament Of man to
an exhibition in mulls' obduracy.
Veto means IL forbid. 1t is the
process OF preventing an act from
taking place by an bsolute pro-
hibition. 1t gives 10 its possessor
complete and final authority. II
reduces his opponents, no matter
how many there may be, to a nulli.
ty. II is a rejection OF the demo
cratic concept OF majority rule.
In history. the veto has been
used before and II has always been
extremely harmful. Poland is an
example OF how damaging the veto
can be TO a state. In the kingdom
CT Poland, the veto was establish.
ed by law in 1862. A single deputy
could rise in the diet and shout
"nie pozwalam". and that veto
alone would invalidate the decision
Of all the other members. There
can be no question of the evil this
veto wrought. II weakened the ma
tion so that flve times now Poland
has been partltioned, in spite OF
the fact that Poland had a longer
history and ; more brilliant cul.
ture than Russia.
The veto has often been granted
to the chief executive of a country,
but in the United States Constitu.
tion, the evil OF this prerogative is
recognized by the provision for
Congress to pass law over the
head OF vetoing president. Where.
as ordinarily an act requires a ma.
jority, after the president has EN-.
ployed the veto. two-thirds vote is
necessary to pass the measure.
And II has often been done.
When Mr. Vishinsky threatened
to use the veto II the UNO adopted
a resolution exonerating British
conduct In Greece, he left his col.
leagues hopeless. This was the
first full case before the UNO: its
future depended upon its ability
to assert its authority for the main.
tenance OF world peace.
The conflict between Great Bri.
tain arose from the various secret
arrangements at Yalta where
Roosevelt said there were no secret
commitments. Mr. Byrnes' ex.
cuse, for instance, that he did not
know about the kuriles does not
hold water. 1t was his business to
know. He should have had the
interest and intelligence to know
II he left before the conference
ended, as responsible official oi
our government. he should have In
quired as TO what transpired after
he left. The fact is that Yalta was
