SILENCE IS GOLDEN, KINDLY. EFFICIENT
Reeeived Monday, 8.25 p.m. NEW YORK, April 6. Tlie New Yofk Herald-Tnbune edi torially commends recent plea by Sii Carl Berendsen (New Zealand) for less talk for talk's sake in the Councils oi United Nations. Sir Carl, partieipating in the Trus teesliip Council debat oh the rules oi procedxfre, implored: "If any person present at this.bodv has notliing to* say then clearly the most effieieut and kindly thing to do is to refrain from saying it." The editorial, which describes Sir Carl as "an earnest inv'estigator," comments: "As wielders of,words we can agree only too hehrtily with the man from down under. Too often the tlow of words in this sorry world turns in.to' a morass amid which the_ best of deeds eventually fdunder.- Too often United Nations embroils itself when speeclies are made for consumption and Foreign Offices baclc home exacerbate tempets' and disrupt a day's conc'iliations. ,The schoolbooks- affirm vthat silence is gorden. More than tliat, as i Sir Oarl has expounded, silence can also be kindly and eificient. ' '
