By VINITA HOWARD
Questions of how to make the
Little Assembly and the United
Nations a more workable organiza
tion will come before the Univer
sity of Oregon students Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week, but for the two Oregon dele
gates to the Pacific Northwest
College congress the questions have
already been discussed and argued.
One argument between the two
Oregon delegates, Warren Miller,
senior in political science, and Bob
Allen, junior in political science,
arose over the resolution passed
at the congress concerning the Lit
tle Assembly of the United Nations.
This resolution as it will appear
on the ballot next week is as fol
lows :
That this third Pacific North
west College congress is opposed
to the tendency of the Interim
committee to apply the pressure
of its opinions toward restriction
or abolition of the veto power and
the unanimity rule in the United
Nations, and toward weakening
the authority of the Security
council, and
That this congress supports the
continuation of the Interim Com
mittee only if it is actually con
stituted as a subsidiary body per
forming a constructive function,
as provided in the charter Of the
United Nations, and only if it en
joys the voluntary acceptance
and participation of all the great
powers.
Miller, Allen Air Views
In an informal debate Monday,
Miller and Allen expressed their
views which were in sharp contrast
on the resolution.
Miller, who favors 'the resolution,
expressed the opinion that, “the
major problem facing the world is
not that of gaining cooperation
among western powers, it is rather
the problem of achieving a working
agreement with Russia.” ‘‘With
out this agreement, by compromise,
the course of world events must
lead to the inevitability of a third
and perhaps final world war.” Any
action deliberately to alter the del
icate balance achieved in the or
ganization of the United Nations,
Miller continued, without the con
sent of Russia would increase an
tagonism between Russia and the
West and would lead to war.
Allen—on the opposite side of
the fence—opposed the resolution
because he believes it is a compro
mise to Russia. ‘‘Up to the time
that Czechoslovakia was taken
over by the Communists,” Allen
stated, ‘‘there might have been
home hope of appeasement. But af
ter three years of compromise, the
only result was the enlargement of
the Russian sphere.”
UN Reorganization Needed
The UN must be reorganized on
a workable basis, Allen said, and,
if this calls for the exclusion of
Russia, then it (United Nations)
must be formed among the western
powers. With this statement, Miller
interrupted Allen asking him if he
realized that the big problem was
between Russia and the western
powers, how he could recommend
action that would exclude and ig
nore Russia.
To this Allen replied that the UN
must be made so strong that Rus
sia would be forced to join and co
coperate with the other nation
members. “In other words,” Miller
questioned “you (Allen) feel that
for the 251st time an international
organization has failed to achieve
peace through peaceful means and
that one of the two hostile forces
is going to be so strong that the
other will give up and join out of
sheer fright, is that right?”
Russian Veto at Fault
“If it has failed,” Allen returned,
“it has been only the fault of the
continued Russian veto. With the
advent of atomic power some step
must be taken to obtain a more
powerful world government and a
strong, powerful UN would be the
first step. . Russia, he said,
would not start a war with a pow
erful UN in control of atomic en
ergy.
“Yes,” Miller replied, “but how
is the UN without Russia going to
JUST THINK OF IT!
THEN COME IN AND
BUY IT
control Russian atomic energy ”
The answer is to stop Russia before
she gets atomic energy by enforce
ment of decisions by a competent
international police force, Allen
added.
“I conclude from your state
ments," Miller replied, "that you
think that the only way we're going
to have peace is by fighting Russia
and beating her."
“Not necessarily," Allen re
turned. “because I believe that if
Russia sees a strong UN, she
would be willing to join rather than
fight.’
