now. and with the eighth session
of the General Assembly in the

slider this development. especially
as far as Israel is concerned. With
the exception of the Soviet bloc.
these coalitions are not rigid and
sometimes shift but are usually
taken into account when voting
occurs.
Possible the best known of
these blocs is the Asian and Arab
group, or Asian and African group
as it is sometimes called, which
varies in strength from eleven to
sixteen, although they generally
find support for any more among
the ASianS.
Without dou b +. the largest
group is the Latin American
which can count on a minimum
of fourteen TO fifteen votes and
can reach the maximum of tWen-
tY. the total number of Latin
American states in the United
Nations. The British Common
wealth countries are very loosely
allied. the trouble being that
South Africa is at oddb with
India and Pakistan which are
leading members of the Asian
and Arab group.
The Scandinavian countries
usually vote as a unit, and they
are often joined by other Euro
pean countries. The United States
can rely on the Latin American
group to support it in almost any
venture, as well as such countries
dependent on it as Greece, Tur-
key, Thailand, the PHILIPPINES and
Nationalist China. This, it can
count on at least twenty votes,
