country. Nevertheless, at the time of the
founding of the U. NJ, the Western powers for
the sake of pleasing the Kremlin, agreed to
accept the make-believe that this region together
with the Ukraine, is sovereign land That fact,
plus the so-called "gentlemens agreement" of
1916, helps explain why it has come close to
being elected to the Security Council
During the course of the contest, the Rus
SLAMS have taken the line that the United States
has broken the "gentemen's agreement" in
supporting Greece. But the agreement-nfor-
mally providing that East Europe be represented
on the Security Council by pro-Soviet Slav
state-has long since ceased to have any real
meaning if our ungentlemanly world AS a
result, for the, next two years at least, the
Krernlin will have to get along without stooge
ally on the Council.
AS a practical matter, this does not mean
very much. The Russians, with their veto power,
will continue to be as capable as ever Of obstruct-
ing the Councils work Greece's vote will be
important only as regards procedural issues,
which can be decided by a majority of seven
of the II members. Accordingly, in this instance,
the Kremlin has merely lost little more face
