Join In Fight For
Limitations
Nv LARRY HAUCK

NEW YORK, Oct. 26-R-The
United Nations assembly wound up
ifs first week Of debate today with
tbe explosive issue Of the veto still
tbe number one question and with
increasing signs that pressure
might force a sharp deeination of
tbe uses of the voting power.
Ii was apparent after addresses
Nv the first 10 nations and several
4ense committee sessions that there
was little possibility at this time
for a charter revision to eliminate
The veto. Rather the drive appeared
aimed at forcing Russia, which
has used the veto nine times in
he Security Council, to agree to
some notifications in it's use.
Norway, Chile and Turkey today
ioIned in the campaign FOR a
limitation of some sort. Previous
speakers have deplored "exces-
sjve" and reckless use of the
veto. ,
Harvard M. LANCE of Norway
said the time was not ripe to
revise the charter, but he called
on the big powers to reach agree
ment among themselves and ito
exercise the veto as it vas planned
to be-a safeguard to be used only
in the last resort"
Turkish delegate Huseyin Ragip
Baydur said the will of the majority
always has prevailed for mankind
and there was no reason to make
the veto an exception, but added:
'Nethertheless, if. for a period
Of transition. it may not be found
possible entirely to eliminate the
veto, we should at least consider
means OF limiting the field Of its
application"
Chilean delegate Felix Nieto Del
Rio said his country had opposed
the veto from the first, but did
not find there were sufficient
grounds to justify a change now.
He commented that sit is reason

into the Calcutta area tonight and
others were placed on the alert as
continued rioting in the city be-

In addition to Standings, assaults
and acid-throwings, there were re-

itself and its colonial possessions
throughout the world.
The difficulty has arisen over the
Interpretation Of that formula. From
the outset, the French have resisted
Annamese. claims to include Cochin
china and Cambodia within the Wet
Nam Republic. Also, the French
authorities on the spot have tried
to restore order and curb the ex-
cesses of the extremist wing OF Wet
Nam who will hear of no compro-
mise and who appear to number
among their ranks many japanese
that evaded the repatriation orders.
These extremists SO dominate the
Wet Nam armed forces that 1t Is
today doubtful whether there is any
responsible regime with which the
French can deal.
The ultimate objective is to find
an evolutionary solution which will
result in a competent native gov
ernment. Postwar France Is obvi-
ously too weak to restore the old
colonial system. On the other hand,
turning over the whole OF Indo-
China to irresponsible fanatics
would be disastrous to the native
peoples as we'll as to the legitimate
interests of France. To find that
middle way is the task of French
craftsmanship.

Rudur for the Blind

A combination of brotherly COM
passion and scientific ability may
bring a new era of hope for those
who cannot see. Moved by his blind
brothers helplessness, Victor Twor-
sky, a science student at the City
College of New York, is collaborating
with two fellow students in develop
ing what they hope will be practi-
cal pocket radar" set for the blind.
Utilizing the same principles OF
electronics which enabled our ships,
aircraft and shore installations to
detect enemy air or surface forces
in World War II, the students are
reported to have designed fash
light-Sized instrument which will
warn it's wearer when he Is ap-
preaching a wall, tree or other OBJ
ject. Instead of registering on a
visual scope" as in the ordinary
radar set, the warning will be audi
BILE. Moreover, the tone will enable
the blind person to estimate his dis
tance from the obstacle with reason
able accuracy, 1t Is said.
Such an invention should be a real
boon to those who now are wholly
dependent on other humans or on
seeing eye" dogs for assistance in
making their way through the dark
ness of their affliction. II the appli-
cation of radar in so useful hu-
manitarian field Is feasible, why
would it not be possible eventually
to make the further step of actually
guiding the blind, just as missiles
now are guided by the invisible hand
of electronics? Why not advise the
sightless radar user not only of his
distance from the obstacle, but the
direction he should move to avoid it?
Nothing seems too fantastic any
more to those who have witnessed
other wonders OF this scientific age.

ImbroqIio in Indo-Chinu

The fare-up of fighting between
French and native forces, centering
in the northern province of Tong
King but threatening to spread
throughout the rest of the country,
high lights the problem of Indo-
China, one of the many complex and
difficult phases of the postwar tran
sition which embraces all of South
eastern Asia.
To begin with, it should be under
stood that the name. "Indo- China" :"
is term coined by the French to
cover the entire colonial empire
which they built up in the Far East
during the nineteenth century
French penetration began in the
extreme south with the acquisition
of Cochin China That and the
adjacent territory of Cambodia is in
habited by peoples racially akin to
the Siamese and culturally con-
nected with them as well. North
of them is AMMAN, the Annamese
being a warlike people who had
extended their control over the
south and also over the northern
region of Tong King, though the
latter had been historically associ-
ated with China and was deeply in
fiuenced by Chinese culture.
The Annamese, who retained their
native sovereigns and became a
French protectorate rather than a
colony, were always refractory to
French rule and are today the chief
dynamic in the independence move
ment, their aim being to reconsti-
tute the former Annamese empire
and dominate the whole of Indo-
China. France has endeavored to
evolve a solution somewhat similar
to that just negotiated by the Dutch
in the Netherlands Indies, under
which AMMAN and Tong King would
be recognized as the Republic OF
Wet Nam, independent" within a
French Union"-a loosely federated
commonwealth embracing France

The Political Mill
BY Gould Lincoln

demanded of the Democratic leadership
in Congress. Mr.. Roosevelt paid great
attention to the advice given him by the
leaders on Capitol Hill
Mr. Roosevelt also left a number of
important decisions on legislation and
how it was to be handled to the leaders
themselves. For example, the bill to
extend the Selective Service Act-the
draft-before Pearl Harbor, had strong
opposition in the House. At a White
House conference of Mr. Roosevelt and
the House and Senate leaders the impor-
tant question was in which house the bill
should be first considered. The Presi-
dent asked each one of them their
opinion.
The Senators, to man, urged that
the bill originate in the House. Ma
jority Leader Mccormack of the House
told the President that the bill could
not pass the House as things stood;
that it should be taken up in the Senate
where, because of the rule of unlimited
debate, opportunity could be had to build
up public opinion back of the bill-so
vital to the countrys national defense.
Mr. Roosevelt went all around the circle
twice. Finally ne said that he had a
feeling that psychologically the bill
should start in the House.
To this Mr.. Mccormack replied that If
the bill should pass the House. Mr.
Roosevelt's psychological hunch would
be Ok, but that If the psychology
should prove wrong, then the country
would suffer terribly. Whereupon the
President threw up his hands and said,
in effect, that the decision was not his
baby and lett it to the leaders them
selves. The result was that the meas
ure passed the Senate after some debate,
and that it squeaked through the House
by the margin of single vote.
Democrats insist that their party is
still a virile, going concern, despite
the drubbing it took in the congression-
al elections in November Some of them
believe that it has now sloughed of its
fellow Travellers" happily, and is ready
to rebuild along sounder lines, tradition
ally Democratic lines.
Southern Democrats realize that to
have national success the Democratic
Party must win outside of the solid
South" This was the real reason that
a proposal to sidetrack House Leader
Mccormack Of Massachusetts, and elect
a Southerner as floor leader in the new
Congress died a-borning. The South
erners, as matter OF fact, were quick
to rally to Mr.. Mccormack when
Speaker Rayburn announced that he did
not wish to be elected minority leader.

Defense in 1047
By George Fielding Eliot

The year 1947 will be a critical one
for the armed forces of the United
States.
This is matter in which every Amer
lean is directly concerned.
He is concerned as taxpayer. deslr-
ing reduction of taxes and balancing
of the Federal budget in order to pre-
vent further addition to an already
overwhelming national debt. In this
capacity he may properly scrutinize
with care the heavy military appropri-
ations which are in prospect.
But he must remember that he Is
also concerned as citizen of the United
States and, if you like, as citizen OF
the world, in seeing to it that progress
continues to be made toward the es-
tablishment of just and lasting peace.
On the record of the past year, ne must
realize that the principal stablllzlng
force in the world has been, and seems
for some time likely to continue to be,
the influence and power OF this re-
public. T say influence and power.
for without the power the influence
would have no greater authority than
on the two previous occasions during
this century when we spoke Tor peace
but were unable to act for peace, ana
when our unsupported words were con-
temptuously brushed aside by men
whose minds were set on war. However
desirable an immediate reduction OF
taxes may be, neither America nor the
world in general can afford the weak
ening of our military power below the
level necessary to enable us to speak
with firm authority in world af1ars
until such time as there exists an IN
ternational order capable Of maintain
ing the peace against any conceivable
challenge. No benefit which Americans
could conceivably derive from a reduc-
ton of taxes and temporary balancing
of the budget could make up for the
effect upon our economy of continued
fear. continued uncertainty, continued
confusion. AS 1916 draws to close we
have seen little hope for better things.
There was, for one example, direct
connection between our final success in
the matter of the South European peace
treaties and the presence OF our heet
in the Mediterranean Sea. The results
obtained by linking OF policy and
power are such as to suggest the great
est caution In laying power aside be-
fore policy has accomplished its aims
for the future.
Between the various interests and
Evening star., 1946-12-31

purposes there is, of course. room for
certain amount of compromise. The
Presidents budget message will contain
the proposals of the Government for
military expenditures for the fiscal year
beginning July /, 1947 The citizen
should not imagine that these proposals
will be wholly those of the War and
Navy Departments, rejecting the con-
sidered judgment of the military chiefs
as to what is necessary for the national
security. They will represent. in fact,
a compromise already achieved between
the War and Navy Departments and the
Bureau Of the Budget, which must con-
slider the overall relations to be estab-
lished between revenue and expenditure.
1t would certainly be great step for
ward if there existed some means by
which the budgets of the two depart
ments could be sifted out and co-ordinat-
ed beforehand. eliminating all overlap
ping and duplication. A merger
of the two departments has been sug-
gested, and will be suggested again. 1t
has not in the past and does not now
seem to this writer that such a merger
is the best way of attaining the desired
result; its disadvantages and dangers
SEGIIl W 1llC " UC Gu
budget coordination is essential if the
needs of the national security are to
be upheld, and above all the pickering
and i'll feeling between the services
which have arisen as a result Of the
merger controversy must be brought to
an end.
X
Personnel procurement for the regular
services, and the question OF universal
training to give substance to our reSer-
voir of young man power, will likewise
be subjects for debate in 1947. The uni
versal training program is now under
study by an eminent and well-chosen
group of civilians. Meanwhile, the
Congress must consider how the author
lied strengths Of the Army and Navy
are to be maintained if voluntary enlist
ments prove inadequate to the estab-
lished needs of the national security.
Finally, the new Congress viii have
to consider programs of permanent mill
tary legislation upon WHICH the postwar
armed forces will be based. Almost all
our military laws are now either wholly
out of date or in need of substantial re-
vision. 1t would seem better to sweep
the decks clear of all the old laws and
start afresh, and both the War and
Navy Departments have been at work on
proposals Of this nature.

This Changing World
Bv Constantine Brown

France is faced now with a full-scale
colonial war in Indo- China which will
delay considerably the country's eco
nomic and political recovery.
The matter is seriously regarded in
official Washington where 1t is hoped
that peaceful solution between the
French and nationalistic Wet Nam
governments may still be worked out.
The question of Frances political
and economic stabilization is of para
mount Importance, for even in its
weakened condition, France Is the pivot
of Western Erropes politics.
There is nothing the American Gov
ernment can do in the present en-
broiled situation in the Far East except
hope that the whole matter will be
threshed out in the U. N. Whether
the French government which is sup
ported by the influential Communist
Party in the Indo-China problem, will
find a solution compatible with the
country's dignity and interests in the
Far East seems questionable.
According to military men who know
Indo-C China force OF not less than
100000 men will be required to suppress
the Wet Nam revolt. The French
could maintain themselves with COM
parative ease at Hanoi and Hue, but
they cannot pacify the country and
bring order with their present military
establishment. Although the French
Army has been reorganized since 1945
and now possesses number of good
metropolitan divisions provided with
modern American equipment, not many
of these units can be spared for service
overseas.
France needs her military forces in
Europe, where she is under certain
obligations, such as to maintain an oc-
cupation force in Austria and another
much larger force in Germany. More
over, because of the complexities of the
domestic situation and the possibility
of major disturbances in Spain, which
could lead to international complica-
tions, the Paris government is reluctant
to reduce her military electives in
Europe by sending an expeditionary
force overseas.
Even If President Premier Leon Blum
