U.N.O. FAILING

WORLD SITUATION IS GRAVER (Received March 30, at. 8.55 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 29. The morale of the United Nations, which has been declining steadily over the past year, plummeted last week. This is stated by the New T ork ‘‘Times” correspondent at Lake Success. Delegates and members of the U.N.O. Secretariat. expressed pessimism over the future of the Organisation so far as effective work to keep the peace is concerned. Many insist that the United Nations has started down the same road which led the League of Nations to doom. Relations between Russia and the United States has grown steadily worse since V.J. Day. In the past month they got so bad that there no longer appears to be any possibility of co-operation. The bad relations between the two countries is responsible for complete failure of the organisation to reach agreement on international police force, international atomic control and disarmament. Such are obsolete in the jvorld to-day. The correspondent advocates the adoption of a plan which is sponsored by Representative Hamilton Eish and Representative Armstrong, under which the democratic countries would bind themselves to defend one another against armed attack, regardless of action, or of a lack of action by 1 he U.N.O. Security Council.
