| North Atlantic Pact
lis Violation Of j. n.
Charter, Reds Charge
By Eddy Gilmore
Asseeioisd Press Foreign Correspondent

MOSCOW, Jan. 29.-Soviet Russia
declared today the United States
and Britain are trying to undermine
the United Nations, isolate Russia
and grid for new war through the
projected North Atlantic pact.
The pact was declared to violate
the U. N. charter.
The Western European Union
likewise came under fire of the
Soviet Foreign Ministry in a 34-page
White Paper, dated January %,
made public here this morning.
A few hours earlier the Western
European Union, made up of Britain,
France, Belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg, announced in
London decision to form a Coun-
Gil OF Europe, In which other nations
Will be invited to take part.
Truman to Submit Pact.
The North Atlantic pact was pro-
posed to link the United States and
Canada with the Western union in
defense. President Truman has
announced he hopes to submit the
pact to Congress soon.
"The U. S. s. r. must take into
consideration the fact that ruling
circles of the United States and
Britain have entered upon an openly
aggressive course of policy, the final
purpose of which is establishment
by force of Anglo world
domination" the white paper said.
1T is apparent to every one that
a plot is being carried out presently
against the United Nations, mas
much as it-even though in only a
small measure-hinders and holds
back aggressors and their policy of
aggression and unleashing a new
war.
I'm view of this situation, the
Soviet Union must more firmly and
more insistently fight against the
undermining and wrecking of the
United Nations by aggressive ele-
ments and their followers"
By-passing of U. N. Charged.
The statement said Russia must
see to it that the u N is not by
passed, "as so often happens"
The United Nations, it said,
should value its authority more
dearly when the question arises as
to who is conducting an aggressive
policy and unleashing new war.

Value Of Atlantic Pact.
By Gornett D. Homer

Russia's propaganda blast against
the proposed North Atlantic defense
pact yesterday served to bolster con-
f1dence of American officials in the
worth OF the security plan.
The special effort of the Soviet
foreign office in getting out a formal
white paper assailing the efforts of
the Western Powers for collective
defense was seen as proof that the
project Is causing very deep con-
Germ in Moscow.
A major purpose Of the proposed
treaty is to lessen fears of aggres-
sion stirred by Russian actions since
World War II and help to build a
sense of security in Europe favor
able to economic recovery. This
would mean a cold war" defeat for
Soviet communism which counts on
fear and insecurity to further its
aims, in the view Of officials here.
The launching of a new propa-
ganda campaign by Moscow against
the defense plan, giving evidence of
alarm at its threat to Russian aims,
was regarded therefore as additional
proof Of its Importance for the
Western democracies.
Seen Aimed at Scandinavia.
One immediate objective of the
Moscow blast, some diplomatic au-
thorities here believe might be to
try to frighten the Scandinavian
countries away from the North At
lantic alliance.
The treaty as now planned would
link the United States and Canada
with the five Western European
union countries - Great Britain,
France, Belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg-in collective de-
tense arrangement under the United
Nations Charter. Negotiators would
Like to include Sweden, Norway and
Denmark as well as some other Eu-
ropean countries important to At
lantic defense, such as Portugal.
Foreign ministers of the Scandin-
avian countries were meeting in
Oslo yesterday in what appeared to
be final attempt to get together
on their attitude toward the North
Atlantic pact, Sweden is reported
clinging to her traditional policy of
neutrality in big power quarrels,
while Norway is inclined to join the

Another blizzard which whipped

The rising Ohio River reached a
standstill at Cincinnati as cold
weather moved over the Ohio River
valley. The river there reached 52.4
feet-four tenths of a foot above
flood stage. An additional rise of
two to three feet was forecast, but
this would not cause serious damage
The cold weather also slowed sharp
ly the rise of Ohio River tributaries
in Southern Illinois where 1000 have

The cold weather spread south to
the Gulf of Mexico and eastward to

No Comment Issued.
State Department officials ignored
the Moscow White Paper so far a!
any public comment was concerned
yesterday. They read press report
of the Soviet statement while await
ing full text from the American
Embassy in Moscow
Russian charges that the pro-
posed defense pact is part of
British American move to under
mine the United Nations and start
a new war are directly contrary tt
what President Truman and Secre-
tary of State Acheson have de-
scribed as aims of the treaty.
Mr.. Truman, in his Inaugural
address January 20, and Mr.. Ache
son, in his news conference last
Wednesday, emphasized that the
pact was designed to strengthen
the United Nations and peace hopes
generally.
Connally Makes Statement.
In q statement apparently
prompted by Russia's attack, Chair
man Connally of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee said yes
terday: Nothing that the United
States has done with respect to Its
relations with the United Nations
has in any wise weakened the
United Nations. We have constantly
endeavored to strengthen that Or
ganization. Russia has not aided
that objective by reason Of hel
fragrant veto and her opposition
to what the freedom-loving nations
of the world. have proposed.
"The United States will not take
any step either in the proposed
Atlantic pact or otherwise tc
weaken the United Nations. Il
Russia will join us In our efforts
to strengthen the United Nations
there is future hope Of success"
A detailed statement of the Amer.
ican position regarding the Atlantic
pact, amounting almost to an an.
fswer- in advance ITO the Moscow
blast, was issued by the State De-
partment earlier this month in q
printed pamphlet entitled Building
the Peace"
1t put the blame squarely or
Russia for conditions making such
a regional defense arrangement
necessary.
To Be In U. N. Framework.
Mr.. Acheson noted in his Wednes
day statement that the propose
treaty will be "a collective defens
arrangement within the framewor
Of the United Nations Charter"
in sharp contrast to the Russial
charge it will bypass the U. n
Article 81 OF the U. N. Charte
provides that Nothing - pre-
cludes the existence of regional ar
rangements or agencies for dealin
with such matters relating to tn

is expected to spell out in detai

failed to get action. The Big Four
finally agreed to neutrals' pro-
posalS that a neutral economic

currency system, which Russia
said was to blame for the block
ade.)
The white paper, which took up
nearly two full pages in the Moscow
press, repeated numerous past accu-
sations against Britain and the
United States. Leaders of both
countries were again accused OF
trying to start a new war, of prac-
ticing an economic boycott of East
tern Europe and of breaking trea-
ties.
The United States and Britain, it
said, do not want to conclude peace
treaties with Germany and Japan
Citation Before U. N. Possible.
A question among diplomats who
studied the declaration was:
Does this lay the basis for Rus
sian citation of the United States
and Britain before the United Ma
tions on charges of violating the
U. N. Charter?
The white paper itself did not say
whether this was planned.
It touched on several regional
agreements, alliances and what were
called proposed projects and pacts,
which Russia has disapproved in
the past. Among them were the
Western Hemisphere defense treaty,
the proposed Mediterranean pact
and the Asian conference held re-
Gently in New Delhi.
Russia herself is a member of
two such regional groupings, the
Cominform of Eastern European
Communists and the recently formed
Economic Council of Mutual Aid.
