NIGHT: Whilst l was settin down
eatin ma feesh and drinking my
beer I heard some of Aine Hag-
gar's Chillun talking bout the
current of too much talk from men,
bers-o-de-tribe specially dem dat
jess talks cause dey gotta tongue,
which made my mind go back to the
speech I read in the New York
Newspaper that Edward Rick, the
Lebanon delegate to the U. N. made
bout dem Hungarians where he
said =.
My country and my government
are second to no one when it comes
to the fight for the respect Of hu-
man rights, be they of the brave
people of Hungary or the persons
of Indian origin and TIE native
population in the Union of South
Africa or the million Arab refu-
gees whom the Israel rape of
Palestine has brutally chased out
of their homes.
Those delegations whose voices
filled the air today with fury and
indignation fatty refused to go
along with any resolution contain
ing condemnatory clause of Is
raeI and the two Western colonial
lists. Why this discrimination in
favor of some and against others?
Are we to understand that the
United Nations, it's charter, its
principles, were created and formu-
lated with the rights and interests
of the few in mind? Are French
and British bullets and bombs less
deadly and less destructive than
those used by the Soviet and Hun
garian armed forces? Are Egypt
ian lives, Algerian lives, Cypriots
lives and the lives of other sub
jected peoples worth less in the
scales of these United Nations
than the lives being lost in Hun
gary?
Universal Rights Demanded
In the fate of the 100000 Arab
refugees in the GAIA Strip-refu-
gees being butchered, tortured, i'm
prisoned, deported en- masse by the
Israel hordes-less worthy of con-
Germ and sympathy and indignation
than the fate of these unfortunate
refugees from Hungary? Why
have we not heard one word of
denunciation of the Israel actions
in GAIA?
Are we to understand that the
United Nations has various con-
ceptions of man and his rights?
For when the rights of European
or a Westerner are affected, even
though it be at the hands of an
other European, the whole world
becomes indignant. But when the
rights of an African or an Asian
are at stake, the United Nations
conception of man becomes so diff
ferent that one is led to believe,
that. contrary to the principles OF
the provisions of the Charter, man
is not the same everywhere and
that human personality is not the
same everywhere.
I must reiterate that my Gov
eminent deplores the tragic hap
penings in Hungary. Our position
is based on our unfaltering stand
| in the face of aggression and brutal
repression. We uphold unswerving-
" the rights of all peoples to live
in freedom, in dignity and in hon
or. We stand firmly by the prln-
ciples of equal rights and seif-de-
termination of all peoples.
Yes, Sir, as l thought more OF
what I heard Aine Haggars Chill
lun saying whilst | ct ma feesh and
drunk ma beer we show would be
a whole lots better off if most OF US
shut our mouth and let folks lack
Edward Rick talk for us.
SOMETHING DAT MADE ME-
LAFF: One fellow pointing to
| some of the guests out at the
Kappa Alpha Psi dance Friday
night and saying II you can
that high society lisa scand-
lass-and-a shame.
