apart, he has had a very poor
team all along?
One school of thought here
is that the first and simple
question is the only question.
But another thinks something
must be said for the second
question, too. And here lies
some genuine anxiety among
Mr.. Macmillan's well-wiShers
in this country.
Though it may be untactful
and meddling in British home
politics to say so. practically
nobody in American politics
in either party, except for a
handful on the Democratic
left-wing, wants to see Prime
Minister Macmillan's govern
ment defeated by the Labor.
Party. This being so. our poll
tical people are worried. For
if yes" is the answer to the
second question - has Mr..
Macmillan had a poor team
all along? - another and far
more fundamental question is
instantly raised.
Has he allowed this weak
ness to run so long as to make
practically certain his defeat
in a British election which
can come no later than 1864?

fare of all. This is a happy
thought. It's where her
thinking stops. And it stops
Suppose the winner shares
her idealism and altruism.
Suppose the winner doesn't
want to rule the world, but
only seeks to set up an in
ternational governing body
based on democratic prin-
ciples." Now we get into the
sticky business of trying to
define democratic principles.
How shall this parliament
be apportioned?
Shall we do it by popula-
ton? Then Red China would
have four times as many
votes as the United States,
India two-and-a-half times
as many. Indonesians would
outvote the Swedes IS to l.
The Nigerians would have
three-and-a-half times the
power of the Australians, the
Pakistanis more than five
times the influence Of the
Canadians.
Clearly this is hardly ideal.
Every country that sought
to increase its power in such
an assembly would simply
try to increase its baby-crop,
regardless of the limitation
of resources. A world gov
ernment based on nothing
more than human fecundtty
is asking for chaos.
How about area, then?
Greenland with $4,000 in
habitants would have six
times the votes that would
be accorded to the 95 mil
lion japanese. Antarctic
would outvote the United
Kingdom go to /. The USSR
would, of course, have more
than twice as many votes
as any other country. Clear
ly this is crazy.
Then how about one vote
for each flag? We have that
in the q. N. Assembly now.
Except, of course, in the
case of Russia where Stain
fast-talked the ailing Roose-
velt at Yalta into allowing
three bogus independent"
Russian republics to have a
vote each. But in the As
sembly, countries like Togo
and Upper Volta and Dano-
mey have the same ballot
power as the United States,
France and India. OF course,
it makes no sense.
The trainers of the U. N.
Charter were not entirely
naive. The sought to place

SO the U. N. is hardly a
model for responsible world
government.
Until now, the substitute
for world government has
been war. War was messy,
cruel and destructive. But it
had a merit, the merit of al
lowing the world to adjust to

Gus young peoples to expand

dent peoples. 1t moved the
