Will The U.N. Break Down?
Is the United Nations destined to break down?
Eight years old this week, the UN is in a position where it
faces the possibility of collapse in coming years, although this
is by no means an impending event. Potentially, however, the
seeds are there.
Russia and her satellites oppose the most effective moves or
attempts at same by the UN, because these are ones directed at
the most-feared force in the world today: Communism. The
Communists remain in the UN because within it they can do
most to obstruct it; but it is fortunate that they do.
If they were outside, the world organization could not ac
complish what it is doing, helping to keep a tentative, if
shaky, standoff between the East and West. But Russia will
prevent any sweeping attempt by the UN to remove the
menacing position of the Communists.
Other countries involved in squabbles, such as the French
Morocco, Israel-Jordan, and Italy-Yugoslavia tiffs, do not wish
the UN to fall, but they must choose between altruistic support
of it down the line and their own interests; right now it looks
like the latter has priority.
Perhaps the position of the United Staffs will have the most
effect on the UN’s future. What with the fear of many Amer
icans that the UN is a super-ogre trying to sublimate the im
portance of the United States in world affairs, or a nest of
spies, or both, we may eventually refuse to give it necessary
support. Our official foreign policy, however, is still one of
support for the UN.
One of the safeguards against any loss of sovereignty by
this country, emphasized by supporters of the United Na
tions, is the veto power m the Security Council, and the
right to ignore any majority action'of the General Assembly.
Which points up what may be the eventual downfall of the
UN, its relative impotence in matters of the greatest signi
ficance.
Not that the UN is without value. Its relative success in
Greece, Israel, Indonesia, Libya, and Korea indicates that it
has accomplished a lot in wrorld affairs, and is playing a role
of important mediator. But the measure of unselfishness on
the part of involved nations which the UN must have in order
to function adequately (as must any organization) may not be
available in the event of a major showdown.
In such event, the UN might go the way of past organiza
tions founded along the same lines. Then we can say that the
UN accomplished much, but was another victim of human
foibles, lacking unqualified support.
In any case, the UN does not seem to be a final answrer to the
world’s problems, but it is a valuable factor in preserving world
peace today, and may thus contribute to an eventual better
world.

Deferments For
AFROTC Continued
The future of air cadets now
enrolled or planning to enroll In
advanced Air Force Reserve Offi
cers Training Corps program is
subject to continuous revision de
pending on the defensive need of
the country in the light of world
problems, Lt. Col. Merlyn Mc
Laughlin said here last week.
Lt Col. McLaughlin visited here
on a natioft-wide tour of 188
AFROTC units throughout the
United States. He is representing
the ROTC branch of the USAK
headquarters in Washington, D. C.
The recent Congressional cut in
air force appropriations has not
made it possible to take as many
graduates into the service as orig
inally planned, he said. Under the
present policy, all graduates com
missioned by the air force must
serve two years of active duty.
For many graduates there is no
room available unless older, more
experienced officers are pushed
out, the officer added. This is not
advisable from the standpoint of
national defense, he said.
To improve training for its Jun
ior officers graduating from
AFROTC units, the air force in
stalled a new curriculum in Sep
tember. Under the new set up
cadets will study military subjects
only, leaving the teaching of all
academic subjects to the educa
tional institution. The change was
made because of the short time
actually spent by the cadet in con
tact with military subjects in the
University, Lt. Col. McLaughlin
said.
