Is very much the same as that already

u Thont and the Gulf

In his acceptance speech after being
unanimously elected as Secretary Gen.
eral Of the United Nations, U Thant
described himself as an international
servant who will not seek or accept
instructions in regard to the perform
ance OF my duties from any government
or other authority external to the or
ganization." At the same time he gave
voice to the belief that he may be
able to play role, however humble, in
bridging the gulf between the major
powerS"-meaning particularly the So
Wet Union and the United States.
AS practical matter, of course,
although the concept of supranational
Secretary General is logical and attrac-
tive IN principle, Mr.. Thant and his
U. N. aides can hardly operate in a
political vacuum. Quite obviously, be-
cause Of the nature of our contentious
world, 1t Is not possible for them to
achieve q pure, objective state of aloof-
ness, holding themselves above and
beyond the fray that Is called the Cold
War. In respect to the Congo, for ex-
ample, Mr.. Thant, while he may not
seek or accept instructions" from any
government, most certainly cannot pro-
ceed on his own, nor can his secretariat,
as Q completely independent agent. On
the contrary, he must give ear, and
attentively, to the authorities Of such
countries as the United States. After
all, his CoIfgolese efforts would collapse
Immediately and entirely II American
support were withdrawn.
Nevertheless, as demonstrated In
the Cuban crisis, the Secretary General
can make a useful, even If strictly
limited, contribution on the periphery
Of direct bilateral negotiations between
the great powers. In that sense, within
the framework of the U. N. and its
Charter, Mr.. Thant may well be in a
position to take initiatives that could
help bridge. or at least narrow, the East
West gulf. It is a gulf, however, that
remains at least as wide and dangerous
as at any time since 1945-despite the
pleasant words spoken here the other
day by Soviet Deputy Premier Mikoyan
as he took off for Moscow after his
inconclusive talks with Secretary of
State Rusk and President Kennedy.
Clearly enough, judging from what our
experts have said OF those talks, the
Kremlin continues to hold fast to its
uncompromiSing negativism on all issues
ofs consequence, including Berlin and
disarmament.
In the circumstances Mr.. Thant,
who must also contend with financial
and other problems that threaten the
U. MS very existence, has his work cut
out for him when 1t comes to dealing
with what divides the free world from
the world Of Red totalitarianism. Need
less to say, although he can be helpful
in the process, the division can be ended
only II the two giants-America and
the USSR - negotiate agreements to
bring about a genuinely trustworthy
and enduring peace.

succeed he can hope to win
an election on the argument
that he has taken q bold
new progressive step which
ultimately will safeguard
British political and economic
interests In the modern world.
II the negotiations fail, he
could also win an election on
the argument that the Six
refused to admit Britain on
acceptable terms and that he
has refused to preside over
the liquidation Of the Brit
ish Commonwealth.
In order to profit from this
option, however. Mr.. Macmil-
Ian must allow himself
enough "turn-around" time
for what is q tricky public re-
lations operation. His dead
line for deciding whether the
negotiations will succeed or
fail is a good deal closer than
public reports indicate.
Other Nations Involved
The current hardening Of
the tone Of the British nego-
tiators and the increasingly
anti-French line Of the For
eign Office could well be
straws in the wind. The next
phase at Brussels shapes UP
as an ultimate attempt to
crack the solidarity Of the
Six by threatening to break
off the talks. Also, perhaps.
1t may see the beginning Of
o campaign to fix the blame
for failure squarely on the
intransigence Of the Euro
pean group.
II the British fail, the con-
sequences will not be limited
to Britain alone. A number
Of other candidates for mem
bership, including Denmark.
Norway and Ireland, already
have made it clear that their
bid depends on British mem
bership in the Common
Market group. Failure in
evitably will mean a revival
of the defunct European Free
Trade Area as q rival to the
Common Market, but on q
bolder and more global scale.
The idea of a new economic
association which would in
clude the United States and
members Of the white COM
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, New
Zealand and Canada-is still
on the outer and more specu-
lative fringes of the current
discussion. 1t may well be q
zany idea, demanding such
economic and psychological
readjustment as to be i'm
practical.
But to some at least, there
also seems to be q fair
amount Of logic in the con-
cept. And there are enough
doubts about the future de-
velopment Of the Common
Market TO lend 1t q certain
plausibility.

PARIS.

EAtlS.
As Britain's entry into the
European Common Market
becomes more doubtful, there
Is growing speculation about
possible alternative arrange
ments.
OF these, the most radical
and also most interesting is
an idea for some sort of
American commonwealth Of
nations which would include
Britain and much Of the pres
ent commonwealth as well as
q number Of other European
countries excluded from the
Common Market club.
This speculation, needless
to say, is very unofficial. No
one in authority Is saying
anything at this point ex-
cept that God and the Six
willing. Britain will soon
join Europe. Which does not
in the least inhibit more
freewheeling observers from
looking beyond the possible
failure Of the present negoti-
ations to what may come
after.
There Is more than a little
justification for this specula-
ton. In the last week, there
has been o very definite
hardening Of positions on
both sides. And on both sides
there is a growing realiza-
ton that q critical point Of
the Brussels negotiations is
rapidly approaching.
Britain's Prime Minister
Macmillan clearly Is in an
extremely tough spot. Home
front opposition to Britain's
entry into the market On the
terms laid down by Europe's
Six has been Unexpectedly
vigorous. It Is now conceded
that Mr.. Macmillan cannot
make further concessions
without risking both q re-
pudiation Of the treaty by
Parliament and disastrous
consequences In the forth
coming elections.
French Unbending
The Six, for their part,
have never appeared more
solidly united in insisting
that Britain conform to the
letter and spirit Of the Treaty
Of Rome as the price Of
membership. The battle no
doubt is being led by the
French. whose negotiators
from the beginning have been
the most unbending Of the
Brussels sroup. But they have
been backed solidly UP to
this point by their German
partners, and even, surpris-
ingly, by the smaller mem
bers whose hope that Britain
will join has never been con-
cealed.
For Mr.. Macmillan the
problem is essentially one Of
timing. II the negotiations

ZIPCode

November % may have
been q history-making day
for American transportation
ZIP Code, announced by
Postmaster General Day, has
implications far beyond the
postal service.
Every consumer Is paying
a price for the complexity Of
the freight rate structure.
"Computerization" Is one of
the answers, but this re-
quires general agreement
among shippers and carriers
on at least these two stand
ard systems:
/. A uniform code for geo.
graphic points.
2. A uniform code for
commodities.
The railroads are working
on a revised commodity code
which (let US hope) may
spread among shippers and
carriers.
Big mailers will adopt the
Post Offices ZIP Code and
weave 1t into their automatic
systems. This will speed the
mail and help all concerned.
All shippers. carriers and
related organizations should
get behind the idea Of ex-
tending the ZIP Code to
freight shipping, forgetting
their short-term interests SO
that freight can be moved
faster and all can benefit In
the long run-including 1877
million consumers.
