amendment proposing that the
phrase be changed to read "the AS
sembly, in accordance with article
of the Charter and rules lib and
ia of the rules of procedure, takes
note, etc."
He was supported Immediately by
the Netherlands. Czechoslovakia
and China, who expressed hope that
such an amendment would result in
a unanimous vote on the actual
question of admitting the new
members.
Meanwhile, the delegates were
cheered by Senator Vandenberg' S
assurance for the Republican Party
! of an unchanged American foreign
policy geared to the U. N. search for
peace.
First reaction to Senator Vanden-
berg's postelection pledge Of whole
hearted American cooperation with
the U. N. was entirely favorable
and it was looked on as a promise
that the incoming majority party
in Congress had no intention of
fostering any vestige of isolation
ism.
Senator Vandenberg, himself ap-
preaching the topmost level among
American foreign policymakers,
stated an apparent adherence to
the bipartisan character of the
United States policy in interna-
tional affairs.
The Republican Senator from
Michigan, who served alongside Sec
retary of State Byrnes and Chair
man Connally of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, through
all the recent difficult negotiations
for peace and now for peace-keep-
ing, was brief but pointed in his
forward-looking statement to the
U. N. yesterday. .rt
In the course of a reiterated OBJ
lection to the United States pay
ing half the U. N. administrative
budget for 1947, running over s23,-
600, 900. he said:
"I reassert, with whatever au-
thority I posses, that, regardless of
what political regime sits in Wash
ington, you can count upon the
whole-hearted cooperation of the
Government of the United States
in striving, through the United Ma
tionS, for a system of mutual de-
fense against aggression and for Or
ganized peace-with- justice in bet
ter, safer and happier world"
That short passage was before the
entire array of the delegations
which turned out today for two
plenary sessions in Flushing Mea-
dow Park.
Senator Vandenberg, on the econ
omy line, already has told the Unit
ed Nations that country which was
assessed half the costs of the U. N.
administration might soon want half
the power. Yesterday he told the ST.
member Budgetary Committee at
Lake Success that the United States
wanted to pay no more than Is per
cent, but would contribute more
than that for the next year If nee
essary.
''This is not matter of money"
he added, 1T Is a matter of prin-
ciple."
Conciliatory Spirit Appears.
Although quarrels with Russia lay
in the background, conciliatory
spirit was invoked yesterday by Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt. She replied firm
ly and vigorously to Mr.. Vishin-
sky on his insistence against United
Nations aid for political refugees
who refused to return to their home
lands in Europe.
II sincerely regret having to speak
in opposition to some of Mr.. Wish
insky's views" Mrs. Roosevelt said.
But you will recall that in London
there were some things which, be-
cause of the fundamental beliefs I
hold 7 had to stand on
Then she offered the conciliatory
note, saying: Il felt strongly about
them then, and I still do. This does
not mean that Mr.. Vishinsky can
not hold to his basic beliefs, as well,
and still achieve with us a solution.
This solution can be reached if we
are both willing in these fields to
try for spirit of cooperation and
realistic approach to our prob
lems."
