for the international army.
China and France dissented from
the majority by insisting that pro-
visions be made for members to use
their earmarked forces for self-de-
fense.
The Chinese pointed to internal
disturbances such as "an illegal act
of force to overthrow a legitimate
government" and contended they
should have the right to pull back
troops to use at home.
French representatives likewise
pointed to such a possibility by de-
claring that democratic and legiti-
mate government might be threat
ened by faction which would at
tempt to seize power by illegal
means"
Contending they would be power
less to meet any such emergencies
II barred from utilizing their own
forces assigned to the U. NJ, the
Chinese and French expanded their
reasons to cover such items as floods
and fires which require military in
tervention. g
Russians Oppose Plan.
In opposing the majority on allow
ing U. N.-allocated forces to remain
in waters or territories where they
have legal right" Of access, the Rus
slams commented:
Such a principle of location of
armed forces made available to the
Security Council cannot be justified
Iby the interests of maintenance of
peace and development of friendly
relations among countries. Expert
ence has shown that the presence of
foreign troops on territories of other
member nations without sufficient
grounds does not facilitate the
strengthening Of international peace
and the development of good neigh
borly relations among states. On
the contrary, it gives rise to a feel
ing of anxiety among member ma
tions for their national indepen-
dence."
The United States answer in the
report said tersely: THE United
States delegation cannot agree to
the incorporation in the general
principles of any restriction upon
the legal right which nation may
have to base forces in areas other
than its own national territories and
consequently cannot accept the
U. S. S. r. proposal (garrisoning all
forces on home soil or in home wa
ters)."
In general comment attached to
the report, the French delegation
deplored the fact that the commit
tee did not take up financial ar
rangements for the U. N. forces. The
French said that swift action also
must be taken now by the parent
Security Council to lay down the
definition of an aggressor and to
decide on "blockades and demon
strations" mentioned in the charter
as prelude to military action.
Would Contribute Big Share.
The committee agreed that the
Big Five would contribute the major
portion of the forces initially but
"as the contributions of other ma
tions of the United Nations become
available they shall be added to the
forces already contributed
In this connection, the United
States representatives wrote into
the report this comment:
There arose the question as to
whether or not the permanent men,
bers {Big Five of the Security
Council should contribute, for all
time, the major portion of the
armed forces made available to the
Security Council.
Certain delegations indicated be-
lief that the major portion of these
armed forces should always be pro-
vided by the permanent members.
Whereas this concept is no longer
implicit in the proposals, the United
States delegation nevertheless de-
sires to state its position on this
principle.
Will Be Put On Agenda.
1T may be that the collective
capabilities of the members of the
United Nations, other than the
permanent members, may at some
time in the future exceed the capa-
bilities of the five permanent men,
bers, in which case, the United
States delegation conceives of no
reason why the contributions of
those other members should not
exceed those of the permanent
members"
Each one of the Big Five has a
representative of its army, air force
and navy on the committee. The
United States has frequently
changed its men, the list of those
serving including Gen. George c..
Kenney, 1t. Gen. M. B. Ridgway,
Gen. H. L. George, Admiral Rich
