Experts on U. n. Say
lis Not Dying Despite
Clash Of Big Powers

LAKE SUCCESS, N. r, Mar. n
(CDN Don't abuse the piano be-
cause the player hits a discordant
note.
United Nations Secretary General
Trygve Lie doesn't use those words
but that is what he means when he
lays the blame for the U. MS cur
rent lack of prestige.
The five big powers, not the U. N.
organization itself or the idea of
the U. NJ, are to blame in Mr.. Lie s
opinion.
Prestige Of Powers Involved.
He explains it thus:
Il do not think 1t is quite right to
speak only about the prestige of
the United Nations-what is really
at stake today is the prestige of
the five big powers.
"The United Nations was founded
on the assumption that the five big
powers would try to seek agree
ment between themselves and would
cooperate.
To-day. especially. I think it is
primarily up to them to find a
solution to many of the questions
which are before the United Ma
tions and its Security Council.
Fears Are Seen Stupid"
One big-power delegate puts the
idea down another way:
This talk about the U. N. being
on its last legs is stupid.
DO you hear people saying that
Congress is finished simply because
it has a filibuster or because it
cannot agree?
DO we throw up our hands and
write off our system of democratic
government when a heated election
campaign reveals wide differences
of opinion?
mo, we do not! Just because
the people in the government do
not always see eye to eye is no
reason to cry that the governmental
structure is finished"
These two approaches TO the
U. Ms position emphasize an in
Evening star., 1948-03-27

creasing viewpoint: The U. N. 1,
dying.
That Is merely shallow thinking
and not in accord with the facts
in the opinion of students of U. N
activities.
There Is, most certainly, ample
room for reform Of some of the
u. N. procedures and structures
notably the veto power which Russia
has so consistently Haunted (22
tines at the Security Council.
But this Is under the immediate
study of commtttee of experts
seeking a way to modification.
The U. NJ, until something better
comes along, remains the only in
ternational foundation on which the
middle-sized and small nations can
pin their hopes. 1t is the only world
forum where the big powers can
watch and test each others policies
and concepts.
1t is, true enough, sounding
board for propaganda, and all the
major powers make full use of this
outlet to get their nationalistic views
scattered abroad.
But it is, also, an outlet for pent-
up emotions and Illustrations. and
thereby serves a healthful purpose
The United States often feeds the
u. N. bread and milk when 1t should
be offering meat and potatoes. Rus
sia often walks away and leaves the
table bare.
But neither country, at this mo-
ment, has any intention OF abandon
ing its stake in the U. N. 1t has
too much to offer them.
In other words, the U. N. Is ex-
actly rejecting the state OF health
in the relations between the big
powers, as Mr.. Lie says.
Given any situation short OF war
the u. N. will serve a useful purpose
as a forum for political airings and
as an important guide and counsel
for economic advances.

Wilson is Named
 .COnservatiOnist

Charles w. Wilson has been appointed territorial soil con- servationist for Alaska, it was announced this week by J. H. Christ, regional conservator of the Northwest division. MT. Will son is expected to leave Seattle on Feb. 9.
 Little is known of MT. Will sons background, except that he has been in soil conservation work for a long period of time.
 The soil conservationist has been instructed to set up his off, flee in Palmer, according to in- formation received by Don L. Irwin, head of the Agricultural Research Administration. It is expected he will be located in downtown Palmer, if office space can be secured.
 MT. Irwin also reported that MT. Sweetman, appointed to head the Valleys new dairy breeding project, will be in Palmer somewhat sooner than the March 1st date originally an- nounced.
 MT. Irwin again emphasized that the housing problem for men allied with the ARA is of tremendous importance. He said that total of 49 housing units for personnel of the United States Department of Agricul- ture had been requested on a five-year program.
 However the housing need is urgent and immediate for the families of men now being ap- pointed to organize the work of the ARA on long-term basis. Still another addition to the local staff is expected to be announced soon, for candidates for the posi- tion of horticulturist at the Mat anuska station have been nar- roWed to two men.

 MT. Thuma also reported that the building in which the Valley library is located is listed for sale. The library is therefore seeking other quarters, and MT. Thuma asked for Chamber help in that project.
 The membership then turned its attention to amended bylaws, which were presented to the group. In an effort to clarfy ex- isting rules on membership dues, it was unanimously voted to pro- rate the annual dues of $10 for all newcomers, on the basis of $1 month. Newcomers were de- fined as those entering the Chamber after July 1, 1947.

 T have your letter of Jan. l and note you desire the 400 bed Native Service Hospital located al Palmer.
