1t was q setback for moral
force and the cause Of ideal
ism in the world when Great
Britain, France, Belgium and
% other members OF the
United Nations formally "ab-
stained" from voting on the
resolution which. in effect,
condemned the Communist
regime of China for its "ag-
gressions' against the funda-
mental human rights Of the
people of Tibet.
The resolution itself was
passed by a vote Of As to 8.
and it is to the everlasting
credit of the United States
and most Of the Latin Amer
lean countries that a major
ity was obtained. But the
victory for freedom and hu-
manitarianism was clouded
by the "abstentions" in the
voting.
Naturally, the Soviet bloc
furnished the nine votes in
opposition. but the reasons
given by some of those gov
ernments which didn't vote
at all were hardly different
from the line of argument
offered by the Communist
group in the U. N.
The abstaining countries
took refuge in a provision of
the United Nations Charter
which says that nothing
contained in the present
Charter shall authorize the
United Nations to intervene
in matters which are essen

The resolution itself did
not ask the United Nations to

action against the Chinese
Communist regime. Indeed.
it did not even mention Red

ly directed against the Peking
regime. 1t merely took cog
nizance of reports of what
has been happening in Tibet
and called "for respect for
the fundamental human
rights of the Tibetan people
and for their distinctive cul-
tural and religious life" Thus,

Before going on into the

argue the main point. 1t is,
as the ad men say, "a stop

responsibility for making this

An examination of the ex-

it apparent that there are

quality of their own rule in
various territories where par

created for Great Britain.

1t is to the credit of Ire

They are among the smaller
countries which never could
have gotten their independ-

to express themselves by a

French President Seen Giving Nation
Growing Veto Over His Allies

The weakest member of the
Big Three-France-is ex-
ercising an increasingly pow
erful veto over the United
States and Britain.
Though Washington and
London are amiably fuzzing
it over, the fact is that
French President Charles de
Gaulle has moved up from
the foot to very near the head
of the Allied table.
He has put a brake on the
movement for an early sum-
NIT conference. This Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan
of Britain had urgently
wanted, and this President
Eisenhower had wanted at
least halfway urgently.
President de Gaulle, indeed,
has taken over just the posi-
ton Mr.. Eisenhower, him.
self, used to maintain. His
view is that it is no good
negotiating at the summit
until the Russians show some
willingness to ease the cold
war down at the level of day.

The revival of Frances
own old notions of Frances
grandeur" was Gen. de
Gaulle's first achievement
and a fine one. at that. This
was q triumph of mind (Gen.
de Gaulle'S mind) over mat
ter. Somehow, he convinced
the French that France was
what it really is not, a great
power in the modern world.
But his second achievement
is simply incredible. He has
pumped up this absent power
into a genuine power within
the Western Alliance. Until
very lately the White House
had been quietly criticizing
Mr.. Macmillan for being in
sensitive to Gen. de Gaulle's
ideas of his proper place.
President Eisenhower, as an
"old comrade in arms" would
soon put all this Alright, it
was said. For he, at any rate,
knew how to get on with the
French leader and so to put
the, summit meeting on the
track.
These dreams now lie in ILL
hidden wreckage. The French
"old comrade in arms" has
not been deeply moved. He
still wants the Russians to
show some of those deeds.

had feared that under Mr..
Macmillan's drive and Mr..
Eisenhower's concurrence we
were painting up to the sum-
NIT without adequate prepa-
ration among ourselves. But
there is also a very bad side
to it. 1t is this: When Gen.
de Gaulle came to power, with
his lifelong tradition of mil
itary service, the whole West
feared he was far too "mili-
tary" ever to be a good polit-
ical leader.
But just the reverse has
turred out. He is a spectacu-
lar success as a politician.
But he is showing himself
to be considerably less than
the best military man in the
world in modern terms. 1t
may be said on thoroughly
responsible authority that he
is causing grave anxiety
among all the top Western
military men.
What he does about a
political summit meeting is
neither their business nor
their concern. But what he
won't do about the military
facts of life is, as the saying
goes. driving them nearly

civic associations and minority

DR.. w. E. B. Dubois, writer and
historian, and Rev. John Haynes
Holmes, pastor emeritus of the
Community church of New York.
The call was the idea of Mary
White Ovington, a young New
York social worker, who was
deeply shocked when she read
William English Walling's account
of a bloody race riot in August
1908, In Lincoln's home city,
Springfield, Illinois. Walling's ar
ticle, published in the Indepen-
dent magazine, indicated the need
for a large and powerful body
of citizens to defend the rights
of Negroes.
Inspired by her abolitionist back
ground and taking her cue from
Walling's proposal, Miss Ovington
enlisted the cooperation of the
author of the article; of DR.. Hen
ry Moskowitz, a fellow social
worker; of Oswald Garrison Will
ard. grandson of William Lloyd
Garrison and publisher of the
New York Evening Post and of
the Nation; and of others. To-
gether they decided to issue
call for "a national conference
for discussion of present evils, the
voicing of protests, and the re-
newal of the struggle for civil
and political liberty"
In responce to this call nearly
300 white and Negro men and
women from all sections of the
country met in New York City,
May 81 and June /, 1909. 1t was
at this conference that the basic
policies and program to which the
NAACP still adheres were formu-
lated. Willard presented to the
conference a blueprint providing
for an organization to combat ra-
cial discrimination and segrega-
ton through legal action. legisla-
ton, and publicity. These remain
the primary channels through
which the Association continues
to conduct its broad scaled pro-

cial inequities.
