State Sovereignty In US. And U.N:

Utlandish as it seems. .ffe
time may come when the United
States will consider fragment
ing itself in order to retain an
effective voice within the United
Nations.
From the time of its for
nation back in l945 up to the
present. the United Nations has
followed the lead Of the Upited
States in most matters Of inter
national Significance. This ma
ton has had the power. the
prestige. and - let il, be added
bhintly the purse to make
its wishes meaningful. Further
more. at least in our view. the
United States has stood for i'll
ternational morality in world af-
fairs.
But in recent years the COM
position and the complexion of
the world organization has
changed. No longer do the
United States and its Western
allies hold the relative voting
strength they possessed. back
when UN membership included
so to 60 nations.
Today. there are l04 mem
bers OF the United Nations. and
every one of them has an equal
voice with the United States in
the General Assembly. One OF
these voices is a tiny African
nation named GabOn. with
fewer people than the city OF
Phoenix, AriZ. But, when il

eral Assembly. Gabon could null.
lily the collective voice of the
1872 million Americans of the
United States.
The UN organization sis
based on the principle of the
sovereign equality Of all its
members" according to its
charter.
| That particular provision was
stretched somewhat at the very
inception Of the UN, however
for the Soviets managed ia
come up with three supposedly
sovereign" states: the Union Of
Soviet Socialist Republics, the
Byelorussian Soviet Socialist
Republic. and the Ukranian
Soviet Socialist Republic.
In the last year or SO, there
has been a splintering of Afri-
can colonies into new national
identities which presume heavi-
ly on the word sovereignty. =
Nevertheless. they are accepted
on terms of sovereign equali'

Thus, the balance of voting

determine Would the federal govern
ment have jailed a Virginia Governor?
Would federal government have fined
a sovereign state or its chief executive?
. These are some of the unanswered
questions.
An important light on these ques-
tons may be shed when the full facts
are revealed of the meeting at the
Rotunda Club several days before Mr..
Almond changed his course in 1859. A
group of busin ess leaders, none of whom
have been named publicly, advised with
the Governor. Could Virginia's sover-
eighty have been sacrificed upon the
altar of expediency?
Governor Almond, who had wrestled
with himself and with the momentous
problems, made decision. Right or
wrong, this decision turned the course
of history. Governor Almond. the execu-
tive, used the power of the office merci-
lessly in the special session of the legis-
lature and Virginia compromised with
principle.
We will not be around when history
deals with the last four years and we,
too, trust it will deal kindly.

Health Insurance
Business Up

In 1861, the health insurance
business reached new highs both
in the number of persons cover
ed and in the amount of benefits
paid out. the Health Insurance
Institute has reported in a re-
view of the past year.
The Institute estimated that as
of December 81, 1851, some 1856
million perSons-or rs per cent
of the civilian population-were
protected by some form of health
insurance. an increase of four
million over the record figure of
1872 million reached in 1850.
The Institute also estimated
that benefit payments during
1861 totaled $6.3 billion. an in
crease Of about IL per cent over
the record $5.7 billion paid out
in 1850.
Another important develop
ment during 1861 was the swift
expansion of health insurance
coverage among older people,
declared the Institute.
In addition to the 1876 million
protected against the cost of
hospital care at the end of last
year. it was estimated that l24
million persons had surgical ex-
pense insurance. 81 million had
regular medical expense insur-
ance. IS million had major medi-
cal insurance provide dby inur-
ance companies. and 43 million
had loss of income protection.
) The 1860 year-end figures
showed 1872 million persons had
hospital insurance. l2l million
had surgical insurance. 87.5 mil
lion had regular medical insur-
ance, 27.4 million had major
medical insurance, and 42.4 mil
lion had loss of income insur-
ance.
Insurance companies paid out
an estimated $3.4 billion of the
1861 benefits, said the Institute,
The figure was up from the
$3.l billion paid out in 1850 and
represented over three times the
amount of benefits paid by in
surance companies in 1851, just
a decade earlier.
An estimated nine million per-
sons aged IS or over approx
mately So per cent of Americans
in that age category were
covered in 1861 by one or more
types of health insurance, the
Institute said.
This compares with three mil
lion senior citizens" so protect
ed nine years ago. said the In
stitute, pointing out that the per-
centage of aged persons with
health insurance is growing at a
faster rate than that of younger
people.

This is a most unlikely de-

Americans must gear their
thinking to a bleaker outlook
regarding the United Nations.

on Katanga. and UN inaction in
India with respect to Goa.
The future undoubtedly holds
many more such upsets. for
United Nations policy no longer
can be assumed to be an auto

national values and procedures
espoused by the United States.

our humility. There also may

Facing Up TO Changes
The change-0ver to automated
production is going to spread on
and on. and certainly nobody
will deny that a great many
workers will have to move to
other jobs. This is fact and
must be faced. Farsighted ex-
perts have often warned that,
without automation. we would
soon find we would not have a
sufficiently large labor force to
accomplish our work, introduce
new products. and maintain our
prosperous standard of living.

as mass unemployment.
Automati0n's Problems
viii Be Solved
I have said before and 1 will
say again that there has never
been any indication that more
machinery means fewer workers.
Look back over the industrial
history of this country and, you
will find that there has been an
unending outflow of more eff
cient machines and yet employ
ment has scared from one new
height to another simultaneously.
The sheer volume of machines
to run machines is today almost
incredible. and still employment
keeps reaching even higher. For
the most part, our joblessness is
due to an exploding population,
a rather impressive group of
people who would rather. live on
charity or unemployment insur-
ance than work, and a reluctance
to develop swiftly-paced pro-
grams to refrain and relocate
workers displaced by the ad-
vance Of chronological improve
ments.

been SO Unexpectedly rapid that
many have been badly frighten-

fast for our own good. Some
