Soviet Bloc Boycotts
Point -Four Conference
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, June 12.-
Russia and her satellites boy
cotted the United Nations Con-
ference on Technical Assistance
to Backward Areas today.
The U. N. received word over
the week end that the Soviet bloc
would not attend the meeting
called by the General Assembly
to create an international fund
for technical assistance. Nc
places were set for them at the
oval table.
The Russians previously had
either boycotted or withdrawn
from 20 U. N. organs since Jan
uary 10 in protest against con-
tinued participation of the Chi
nese Nationalists. They want the
Chinese Communists to sit in the
U. N.
The continuing Soviet walkout-
boycott campaign has taken on
added significance since the re-
cent talks between U. N. Secre-
tary General Trygve Lie and Prime
Minister Stain. 1t shows that
Stain intends to ignore Mr.. Lie s
opposition to the walkout tactics
of the Soviet Union.
1t also is significant that Point G
Of Mr.. Lies 10-point peace pro-
gram calls for universal participa-
ton in the U. MS technical assist
ance efforts. Soviet refusal tc
take part, thus, would be a direct
slap at Mr.. Lies program.

There isn't so much to do now
because beer and ale are made in
big breweries where the testing is
done by chemists in white jackets.
But in the old days each tavern
brewed its own and there was con-
siderable variation in quality.
One method of testing, before
the chemists took the romance
out of the job, was to spill a bit
of beer on bench. The conner,
wearing leather trousers, sat on
it for three minutes. and if on
arising he found himself sticking
to the bench the brew was held
to be good for mans body in
lawful measures" If he didn't
stick, the beer was held to be
lacking in substance and there
were various penalties, including
closing of premises.

Elpidio Quirino today added more
confusion to the projected merger
of the Philippines United Nations

The president told a news con-
ference that the Embassy will con-
tinue as a permanent Office and
the United Nations delegation will
be a division of the Embassy.
Mr.. Quirino said Ambassador
Joaquin Elizalde will continue in
his post. The president said he
has Mr.. Elizalde's resignation but
that he is not ready to consider it.
Perhaps in the general reor-
ganization of the government
when the top positions are going
to be reshufhed" he may act on it.
Mr.. Quirino said.
Differ on Interpretation.
The presidents Interpretation
Of the intention of Congress in
calling for the merger runs con-
trary to the opinions of repre-
sentatives and senators who spon-
sored the bill to fuse the two
Offices as an economy move.
Representative Jose Roy said
under the terms of the bill Who
ever is head of the United Nations
delegation on July / will also
automatically be the Philippine
Ambassador to Washington.
This was confirmed by Senators
JuStiniamo Montana and Lorenzo
Sumulong, chairman and mem
Der respectively of the Senate

Foreign Secretary Carlos Romu-
10 is in the United States now to
handle the merger arrangements.
Mr.. Quirino said Gen. Romulo
could not keep the positions of

cation and Secretary of Foreign
Affairs because he would be

sources Of international law can

members are able to enter into
relations with member states on
equal terms. Specifically. in
Chapter I, Article 2, it is stated:
"The organization is based on

"All members shall refrain in

"A member Of the United Ma

This Changing World
United Nations Nears Five Year Mark
At Lower Ebb Than League of Nations

and his associates In the Politburo
mankind begins and ends In the
Kremlin.
Last Tuesday Senator Mcmahon,
who in April suggested that we
bribe the U. s. S. r. into cooper
alton with part Of a global loan
amounting to $50 billion over a
period Of five years. renewed his
efforts by asking that the United
Nations Assembly meet immedi-
ately for the purpose of STOP
ping the armament race. In
exchange for a peace agree
ment he proposed that the
vast sums earmarked for war
materiel-and particularly the
atomic and hydrogen bombs
should be spent by the U. N. for
scientific development and gen.
eral economic aid to all war
ravaged countries.
No Quarrel With Purpose.
Nobody can have any quarrel
with such a high-minded sugges-
tion. There Is no question that
the American taxpayer-who di-
rectly or indirectly bears the cost
of preserving freedom in countries
which are not behind the Iron
Curtain-would rather see his
money used for constructive peace
full purposes than for destructive
weapons.
If such a resolution had been
made by persons who are not
acquainted with the facts Of life
as they are today in the United
Nations their proposition would
have been easily understood. But
the II Senators and Representa-
tives who devised the present pro-
posal are fully aware that we
and our associates have done the
most We could to induce the Rus
slams and their unhappy slaves
to discuss-at least-an honest
and equitable disarmament pro-
gram. The Soviet answer has al
ways been a brutal refusal.
It seems likely that the Con-
gressmen's optimism has been
fired by the tour made by U. N.
Secretary General Lie. This top Of
fetal Of the peace organization
has just returned from Moscow,
where he seems to have "ar-
ranged" for the unseating of the
Chinese Nationalist representa-
tives in the United Nations by
those Of the Soviet puppet gov
ernment in Peiping.
Mr.. Lie declared officially that
as soon as this happens the world
peace organization will be able
to resume orderly meetings. And
while he has not committed him
self to a statement that Russia
will prove more cooperative once
she has another stooge in the
U. NJ, he has given vague "per-
sonal hints" that this may be the
case.
MIR. Lies record of leaning to-
ward Kremlin policies is we'll
established. Hence his great ef-
fort to bring another batch of
Communists into the u. N. is look
ed on with justif1able suspicion
by most members of that organi-
cation.

Lower Ebb Than League.
The United Nations, under the
poundings Of the U. s. S. r. and
the nations which it has SUBJ
jugated in these five fateful years,
is breathing heavily and has
reached an even lower ebb than
its sister organization which grew
out Of World War 1.-The League
of Nations-had reached in the
fall Of 1899.
Russia intends to dominate this
new peace organization. Since the
United Nations was organized in
June. 1945. Russia has ignored all
the principles for which it was
created. 1t has shamelessly repu-
dated by its actions, fundamental
human rights on its own territory
and in those which it has forced
under heel, and has wantonly re-
fused to cooperate in mainte-
nance Of international peace.
These actual facts are over
looked by the viSionaries, who still
believe that a nation ruthlessly
controlled by IA power-hungry
men still can be persuaded to Join
the ranks of the peace-loving
countries and to cooperate for
the benefit of mankind. To Stain
