Eden can be stated briefly. Mr..
Eden's actions against Egypt, the
laborites contend, have cost Brit
ain her international respect-she
has vetoed Security Council dis
cussion of her action and has
ignored General Assembly reso-
luton in the United Nations.
The Charges
The result is that the Common
wealth is divided, alliances with
America and other nations put
into peril and disunity has been
caused at home during very critical
times. it is claimed. Had Mr.. Eden
really believed in the U. N, the
labor spokesman hold, he would
have acted through that organiza-
ton. and Britain's prestige as a
force for peace would have been
enhanced.
Mr.. Eden's reply is that Britain
and France have acted to stop a
big war, that they acted because
the U. N. was not ready, and that
their actions will bring pacification
to the whole Middle East.
AS in the case with most public
questions in England, people tend
to divide along class lines. In the

force to pry Britain, France and
Israel out Of Egypt. the jig was up.
Within hours the fighting had
stopped, Britain and France were
looking for a graceful way to leave,
and intense pressure was being APP
piled on Israel to do likewise.
Effective MoroI Pressure
To the U. N. all this has meant
a great deal. No longer can the or
ganization be totally paralyzed by
a veto. For although the General
Assembly does not have the power
to impose its recommendations"
by force. it can mobilize world pub
lie opinion in situations where the
Security Council is rendered i'm
potent. In the final analysis. this
type of moral pressure is the U. MS
most effective weapon as long as
the organization is merely q league
Of sovereign states.
The Soviet Union is not happy
at the power the General Assembly
has gained at the expense of the
Security Council. When Russian
tanks turned against recalcitrant
Hungarian government, it took only
a few hours for the u. Ms "lower
house" to Illustrate the Soviet veto
and demand that the Russians with
draw. At an emergency assembly
meeting that began after 3 am,
the Soviet action was condemned
as effectively as if the veto had
never been heard Of.
Thus. in the space of a week,
three Of the five permanent mem
bers Of the Security Council were
arraigned by an organization from
whose chastisement they had con-
sidered themselves immune. The
amazing thing was that they did
not walk out and-at least so far
they haven't even shouted defiance.
More than little dumfounded, they
sat grimly and watched the child
they had fathered a decade ago
fiex his muscles and announce that
he had come Of age.

Security Council demanded that
Britain and France abandon their
plan to invade the Suez Canal zone
the two nations used the veto
Britain for the first time-to kill
the resolution.
According to all precedents this
should have ended the matter.
Accordingly no one took the Yugo-
slav delegate seriously when he
mentioned causally that perhaps
the General Assembly should be
called into special session to deal
with the matter.
Within a few hours, however,
the proposal had swept the U. N.
like wildfire and when it was for
mally presented to the Security
Council it quickly mustered the
seven votes it needed. Britain and
France opposed. but their vetoes
do not apply to procedural motions.
Twenty-Five hours after the vote
was taken the U. MS first special
emergency" Assembly convened
with all rs members present. The
speed was unprecedented In D. N.
affairs.
Speed remained the order of the
day as the Assembly discussed the
substance Of a motion demanding
an end to the fighting, withdrawal
of Israeli troops and cancellation
Of the Anglo-French plan to seize
the Suez Canal.
The delegates simply refused
to adjourn until they had acted.
Debate continued far into the night.
At 2:30 am. closure was invoked,
a vote was taken, and delegates who
had not yet spoken had tt, be con-
tent with the chance to advance a
post-mortem explanation Of their
vote. It was not necessary to say
much, however. The results of the
voting had been eloquent-64 ma
tions insisted that the aggression
end. and only Australia and New
Zealand sided with Britain, France
and Israel.
The British and French appeared
stunned at the near unanimity Of
the verdict against them. The
usually imperturbable Sir Pierson
Dixon. the very model Of Nine
tenth Century British diplomat,
looked perturbed.

nounced that 1t was prepared to use

the farm issue spared the Demo-
Gratis an even greater disaster in
the South. The cities gave the
President his majorities. and in the
earlier counting there were signs
that the President was sweeping
the South as though 1t were New
England. But when the returns
started coming in from farm areas,
the tide was swept back somewhat.

On q Silver Platter
Mr.. Holland says that one of the
most significant aspects of the Re-
publican showing was that it was
made in the absence of effective
G. o. P. organization and with
practically no effort. This strength
was handed to them on a silver
platter" Mr.. Holland said. land If
they don't do something about 1t,
they're missing mighty good bet"
He suggested that Southern Re-
publicans stop running men for
local Offices who are known only
for their Republicanism and instead
recruit men known in their COM
munities." He added that Re-
publican strength had increased in
Alabama even though the party
officials there had spent the cam
paign "loaflng." II there we're any
Republican rallies during the cam
paign in Alabama, he hadn't heard
Of them, Mr.. Holland said.
Almost as ne spoke. Alabama
Republican leaders announced plans
for early meetings to build a grass
roots organization.
And in Washington, National
Chairman Leonard Hall declared:
THE results show that the South
holds great promise for the Repub-
lican Party. We expect to take full
advantage of it and build State and
local organizations everywhere in
the South and induce young and
attractive candidates to seek Office"
Now that Mr.. Eisenhower has
helped dispel Southern historic re-
luctance to vote Republican, most
informed observers believe that the
one-party South is thing of the
past. The difficult break with ira
dition, they feel, needs only some
assistance from national Republi-
can leaders to bring a true two
party system to Dixie.

voter stepped into the polling booth
again. Sir Samuel Hoare was made
a target by the Labor Party in the
election of 1915. The long memories
OF the public swept out the Con-
servatives and gave the Labor
Party an overwhelming majority.
Despite this warning from his
tory, members of the Eden cabinet
have been critical of the U. N. this
week. Selwyn Lloyd, Eden's foreign
secretary, said: THE League of
Nations did not succeed. Can we
say that the United Nations has yet
been successful?"'
Mr.. Eden's present embarrassing
position in the U. N. contrasts with
Conservative pledges on the United
Nations made at the last election.
Labor leaders hope Sir Anthony's
explanations will have little appeal
once election time comes again.
The charge that Britain defied the
U. N. and preferred bi-lateral action
with France will be difficult to deny.
They Hote Bully
Labor strategists may believe
that they have a sound psyche
logical gimmick in the Egyptian
affair. The Englishman detests a
bully. The spectacle of little Bel
GUM" in suffering brought thou
sands to the recruiting stations in
World War I and crowds could
always be found to help little
Czechoslovakia, little Greece or
little Korea"
The sight Of two powerful coun-
tries launching military attack
against Egypt while she is engaged
In a war with another power is
offensive to the senses Of English
men. The point has not been lost
upon Mr.. Bevin. This is the
language Of the bully" he flung
across the House of Commons in
describing Mr.. Eden's ultimatum
to Egypt.
Another characteristic of the
island race is to be most sceptical
about the utility of military men
and military minds. Only Field
Marshal Lord Montgomery, the
hero of Ell Alamein, who has an TN
deniable fair for publicity, enjoys
widespread popularity. But the
name of Col. Blimp lives on. Labor
strategists may try to fasten re-
sponsibility for the Egyptian action
upon Mr.. Eden's military advisors.
If they can do so many middle
class voters may move over to the
Labor Party.
The next general election in Eng
land, however, is not due until
1860. It is possible, of course, that
failure Of the military operation
in Egypt could force Mr.. Eden to
resign. At present this seems very
unlikely. He retains his Commons
majority Of 68 votes and should
ride out the storm. He has had
one defector from his cabinet, but
to date there seems to be no rush
to join Mr.. Nutting in the political
wilderness.
If the U. N. is able to pacify the
Middle East, and Britain is made to
feel more secure about her oil
supplies and general commercial
safety than for years past, then
Sir Anthony may find himself
justified by events.
AS these events unfold he may
be reminded Of the Shakespearian
quotation, From out the nettle,
danger. have plucked the flower,

ever. to keep the quotation to him.

COMING OF AGE
BY DANIEL herman

UNITED NATIONS, New York.
During the past two weeks, the
United Nations accomplished the
impossible: It Wed successfully
with the Presidential campaign for
the attention of the American
people.
Something about what was hap
pening at the U. N. captured the
popular imagination. There was
intense drama in the all-night ses-
Sions, the solemn warnings, the
realization that the world was
lettering on the edge OF general
war. Either the Hungarian situa-
ton or the Middle East crisis would
probably have been enough to
pack the U. MS public galleries.
The two episodes together con-
Stituted an unbeatable drawing
card. The Nation that originated
the double-header, the double
feature. and the double decker
could not resist the latest wrinkle
on the two-for-one theme-the
double crisis.
Passes to q. N. sessions became
more In demand than tickets to
MY Fair Lady" And those who
did manage to gain admittance
demonstrated as much interest
and stamina - as the delegates.
When a meeting Of the Security
Council adjourned at $50 am, the
statesmen were astounded to turn
around and see every public seat
still occupied.
The Big Change
Spectators were generally aware
that they were observing history
In the making. Not all Of them
realized. however. that they had
been witnessing the transformation
Of the u. N.
The governments which estab-
lished the United Nations at San
Francisco in 1915 conceded that
they had not equipped the organi-
cation to cope with high-handed
action by any Of the Big Five.
During the present crisis, how
ever. an overwhelming majority of
U. N. members suddenly stood up
on their hind legs and insisted that
the organization learn to cope with
aggression by a major power. In

There is no way Of determining
with any degree Of accuracy the
actual number Of voting Negroes
in the South. but it is increasing
steadily-Negro registration is up
and voting in predominately Negro
urban precincts is heavier. This
year, unlike 1852, this vote was won
by the Republican candidate for
President.
For instance, the preponderantly
Negro goth precinct In Raleigh,
N. c., which voted 91S to 118 for
Mr.. Stevenson in 1852, went to Mr..
Eisenhower this year by 526 to 253.
Winston-Salem's Columbia Heights
precinct, almost all Negro, voted
$50 to 81 for Mr.. Stevenson in
1852, but on Tuesday gave him q
majority Of only 281 to 23S. And
one preponderantly Negro box in
Birmingham which went heavily
for Mr.. Stevenson in 1882 voted
S0S to 480 for Mr.. Eisenhower this
year.
Negro desertion Of the Demo-
cratic Party was attributed partly
to the fact that the Democratic
leadership in State Legislatures has
championed the many schemes in
the South to delay compliance with
the Supreme Courts decision
knocking out segregation in public
schools. Many Negroes also are said
to have been Influenced by the fact
that the desegregation decision
came during Mr.. Eisenhower's adj
ministration.
Unions Not Effective
Z. L. Holland, editorial writer of
the Birmingham News, says that
1.-The unions Just didn't hold their
people together in the cities" He
pointed specifically to heavily-or-
gained Mobile and Birmingham
and Montgomery. which also has a
strong union element, all Of which
went for Mr. Eisenhower. The same
was true in other cities where
unions are strong-Tampa, Win
ston-Salem. Greensboro, Charlotte,
Savannah. New Orleans and Chat
tanooga.
Jonathan Daniels. Raleigh pub
Usher and author Of books on the
South. believes that much Of the
Democratic Party's appeal. born
out Of the depression and the New
Deal, has disappeared in the South.
Nobody any longer regards him
self as being one Of the 'po' folks"
Mr.. Daniels says. Everybody down
here has become middle class, or at
least regards himself So"
He adds that the ever growing
group Of well-to-do persons reaping
the benefits of a diversified, indus
trialized New South favored Ike
last time. but this time. these pre-
cincts went sohdly for him"
Much Of the South's factory work
force Is composed Of families in the
lower economic class recently
forced of poor farms after failing
TO exc out a living. To them,
factory wages. although lower than
in the North. provide luxuries be-
yond the reach Of failing farm
tenant or sharecropper and they
are, comparatively. In an upper
economic class.

Southern voting trends for many
years believes also that the war

BY many voters to Mr.. Eisenhower.
1T was just another case OF the
voters not wanting TO change
horses" he said. He. too, agreed
that the improved conditions OF the
economy in the South weighed
heavily in Mr.. Eisenhowers favor.

Town Team Wins
League Opener
From OttOville

A crew of former Bluffton high
school and college stars opened their
campaign to carry the local tradition
of strong basketball teams to Lima S
Major Leaues as they edged by
Ottoviille last Thursday night 1912.
Paced by young Jim Berry, of last
years Pirates, and Russ Gratz, a
state tournament veteran of the early
'forties. the local five overcame a
2 point halftime deficit with 13 points
in the third quarter and IA more in
the last period to sew up a win in
their league opener.
In their second outing of the week
Manager Harry Klay's group fell be-
fore the Tiffin Spartans S1-6S on
Tuesday night. Kirkland and Schmidt
with 16 each and Fred Hermann with
10 points showed the way for Bluffton.
League championship ideas of the
locals will be tested this Thursday
night when they meet Milano's Night
Club in the old South high gymnas-
iurn. The Milano five is composed
of players from several of the strong
est teams in Lima competition last
year, and includes former Ohio State
stars Tom Williams and Dick Dave.
