end. to remove the Belgian
troops" from the Congo and
safeguard the country's terri
torial integrity. It asked him

Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Vastly v. Kuznetsov ex-
planned he voted for the rival
Ceylon- -Tunisia proposal be-
cause it specified Mr.. Ham
marskjold's main job was to
get the Belgian troops out.
Accused of Aggression
Earlier he accused Belgium
of aggression against the Congo
and said if this aggression
continued, his government
would mot hesitate before any
decisive action aimed at re-
pelling the aggressor."
In introducing his resolution,
Mr.. Kuznetsov said only Bel
gian bayonets were propping
up Mr.. Tshombe. He said if
the U. N. force could not oust
the Belgians from the Congo,
troops must be sent from other
countries ready to help. Ghana
and Guinea both have offered
to take their troops out of the
U. N. force and put them under
control of the Lumumba gov
ernment.
Mr.. Hammarskjold told Mr..
Bluntly, Il do not believe, per-
sonally, that we help the Con-
goleSe people by actions in
which Africans kill Africans, or
CongoleSe kill CongoleSe."
Tunisian Delegate Mongi
Slim, introducing the Cey-,
lonese-Tunisian resolution, also
said the U. N. troops Ought to
be fully authorized" to use
force if that was the only way
they could get into Katanga.
But Mr.. Hammarskjold re-
minded the Council it had
power to enforce decisions for
peace by calling on U. N. men,
bers to break off diplomatic
relations, trade and communi-
cations with any recalcitrant
country.
Problem of Peace or War
In report he sent the Coun-
Gil before flying back from the
Congo Saturday. Mr.. Ham
marskjold had said the prob
lem was to get Mr.. Tshombe to
let the U. N. troops into Ka-
tanga by convincing him they
would not take sides against
him.
But in presenting the report
yesterday, he declared the
main cause Of continued dam
ger" was the presence of Bel
gian troops in that province.
He warned, the problem of
the Congo is one of peace or
war-and not only in the
Congo"
United States Delegate Henry
Cabot Lodge said the stake
was peace not only for the
Congo but for the world" He
said Belgium no longer had
any reason Ito postpone speedy
withdrawal from Katanga."
Belgian Foreign Minister
Pierre Wigny, whose country
set the Congo free June 30.
said the resolution would hurt
the Belgian people" and make |
it hard for him to persuade
them they could trust the U. N.
force to safeguard the 10000
Belgian nationals in Katanga
so the Belgian troops could all
go home. He said security must
be maintained without a.
break"
Congo Thanks Council
Congo Foreign Minister JUS
tin Bomboko thanked the
Council and, not mentioning
the Congo's various pleas for
Soviet aid, said Mr.. Hammars
skjold's position was "the only !
position that will bring us out
of the deadlock"
Katanga Finance Minister
Jean Kibwe, who watched part
Of the proceedings from the
press gallery, was not on hand
for the final vote. But he had
told a reporter earlier that
Katanga never, would admit
U. N. troops and that the prov
lnce's 1000 regular troops were
enough to fight off Mr.. Lum-
umba's forces if the U. N. kept
hands off.
