The Commonwealth
Bridges Free World,
U.N. President Says
1 he British Commonwealth of Nations should not be under
estimated in figuring the free world’s strength and resources or
nnhe importance it plays in bridging the gap between the free
countries of the East and West, Lester Bowles Pearson, presi
dent of the United Nations Ceneral Assembly, warned Tuesdav.
Speaking on the topic “'1 he New Commonwealth-Bridge Be
tween East and West,” Pearson told the capacity assembly
audience that the Commonwealth was one of three organiza
tions used by Canada in search for peace and security. The oth
er two are the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization.
Describing the Commonwealth as “eight countries linked to
gether by the crown and a common devotion to freedom,” Pear
son pointed out that the group must be regarded as a globe or
^am/.auvu WUIUI 111 us l l)C seri
ously counted on for free world
strength and resources.
Make Independent Treaties
'J he loose organization of the
Commonwealth is shown by the
lack of formal rules and regu
lations binding the countries,
Pearson said. The independent
defense pacts entered by the
nations are examples of this1
loose organization, he said. One of
the few things all members have
in common is the title “Head of the
Commonwealth” for the Queen of
England.
The second region in wihch the
Commonwealth plays an important
part in world affairs is in the
realm of bridging the gap between
the free East and West. Its three
member nations in Asia joined
with five free nations in the West
ifr-*H(»^»Toup make this possible,
he said.
New and Untried
Warning that the governments j
of three countries—India, Paki
stan and Ceylon—are new and un- i
tried and faced with problems
NAACP Question
Discussed Tuesday
Does the student affairs com-1
mittee have a right #nd a reason j
to refuse recognition to the Na
tional Association for Advance
ment of Colored People?
This was the question presented
Tuesday evening at a public dis-1
cussion of the student affairs com
mittee-NAACP controversy which
was sponsored by Young Demo
crats.
Since no members of the com
mittee were present, moderator
George Dalton presented the main
arguments against recognition.
They were based, he declared, up
on the NAACP's affiliation with
a national group, the furtherance
of one or two segments of the
population, the chapter's consti
tution, and their study of affairs
which were foreign to campus life.
Bob Holloway, NAACP presi
dent, presented the NAACP stand.
“The university,” he declared,
“should be a leader and encourage
students to organize groups to dis
cuss and act on problems that
arise.”
He stressed that organizations
must “practice what they preach,”
and pointed out that the university
was lagging behind the rest of the
state, which is one of seven who
have passed Fair Employment
Practices Acts.
He also declared that the argu
ment concerning national affilia
tion could conceivably be directed
against almost every campus or
ganization including fraternities,
sororities, religious groups, and
honoraries.
The benefits of recognition were
also made clear, and these include
the facilities of the Student Un
ion for meetings and the use of
campus places for publicity. No
other chapter in the 72 colleges
throughout the nation has faced
the problem of recognition such as
that which faces the proposed Ore
gon chapter, Holloway said.
which “would stagger any Western
statesman,” Pearson said that “we
will never bridge the gap if we
expect those countries to develop
as images of ourselves.”
The Communists have had more
success than they deserve in these
countries by identifying themselves
with forces that seem to be those
of freedom and progress,” Pearson
stated. Pointing out that “we can
not force our arrangements on
others,” Pearson said that the
Asians may see the present govern
ment of Red China as the repre
sentative of the people and that
it should be accepted as such.
Mark Over Asia
The biggest question mark over
Asia today is the uncertainty about
economic and social progress, Pear
son said. The countries and their
leaders must answer these ques
tions themselves, he said, but they
also need help from other coun
tries. He pointed to the United
States Point Four program as a
good example of this help.
He also used the "Colombo plan”
of the Commonwealth as an ex
ample of this help in contributing
to the development of Asia and
defeating subversive elements in
the Free Asia countries.
Touching briefly on the policies
persued by the U.N., NATO and
the Commonwealth during the past
year, Pearson said that “we have
been on the right path through
1953 and we must not abandon
it.”
Waldo's 'Love
Snowbelle, Is III
If Waldo has been wearing a
rather dejected and mournful ex
pression the last few days, it
must be because his lady love,
the Phi Psi mascot Snowbelle,
has been ailing.
The golden-haired St. Bernard
has been rather listless and
mopey for days. She started
sleeping in mornings and cut
ting her 8 o’clock class.
The Phi Psis took Snowbelle
to the veterinarian over the
weekend. Diagnosis: tonsilltis.
Snowbelle will be back home
today if no complications set in.
No operation will be necessary,
the vet reported.
World Questions
Topic of Forum
“As long as the Chinese fight us
in North Korea, there can be no
recognition of their present gov
ernment or even consideration of
such a step,” Lester Bowles Pear
son, president of UN General As
sembly, said in a coffee hour forunr
Tuesday.
“But, we must face facts if, and.
its a string of big ifs, the Korean
situation is peacefully concluded
and the Chinese Reds make no
further moves of aggression in.
Asia,” he said.
No move towards an Atlantic
federation could be taken unless it
comes from the United States.
Pearson said. Such a move would,
be merely academic unless Wash
ington came out in favor of it, hs
claimed.
No Opposition in Principle
“I am not opposed to world fed
eration in principle but it would
break up the present organization
if an attempt were made to revise
the present United Nations charter
to encompass such a change.'
Pearson maintained in regard to
the current World Federalist pro
posal to take such a step. “Ano
with all its imperfections, the UN
is a good thing to maintain.”
“We can’t rely on a revision of
the charter to make the UN work.’
Pearson told the capacity audience.
“The doctrine of the present char
ter isn’t wrong: it’s the will ano.
spirit of the countries in the or
ganization which are hamstringing
it. Even the United States and.
Britain would not seriously con ■
sider giving up the veto.”
Pearson considered it “improp
er” to comment on Canada's at -
titude toward Senator Joseph Me
Carthy as a public official of ths
U. S. government. “I won't say
anymore,” he added.
Vishinsky Is Clever
He described Andrei Vishinsky
as a “clever, powerful man doing
a magnificent job for Russia in.
the United Nations,” while off duty
he is a “good host” with a charm
ing, engaging personality.
“I’m not sure the power in Rus -
sia has changed; let’s wait awhile
and see,” Pearson said in response
to a question on Malenkov’s recent
appointment. “My first reaction
was one of surprise and shock
Maybe we’ll do better with Rus
sia if internal problems do devel
op.”
A Good Case Against UN
“South Africa could make a good
case against the UN discussing or
giving decisions on domestic race
legislation,” Pearson said. “How
ever, the General Assembly voted
down South Africa’s objection on
the grounds that any domestic af
