AYOl'TY no means to settle the Viet Nam question.” United Nations Rep Says China's Absence Hampers UN By l./UJRETTA PADIM.A Of th«* Kmrrald I don't sec a direct means to settle the (Viet Nam) ques tion as lone as there is no agreement between the U.S. and Russia," said Yassin El-Ayouty, chef de cabinet for the director of the UN Institute for Train ing and Research (UNITAR). El-Ayouty told reporters at a news conference Monday he lie lives the UN cannot substantial ly settle the viet Nam dispute because Red China, a major party in the dispute, is not a UN member. El-Ayouty is here to help the University observe the twenty second anniversary of the UN. lie will speak at 8 tonight in the EMU ballroom to climax a UN Day on campus. He pointed out that the UN was not oblivious to the ques tion and cited the fact that U Thant, upon taking his current term as UN Secretary General, "put on top of his agenda the Viet Nam dispute." "U Thant wants to reconvene the Geneva conference to allow a meeting and discussion to find a peaceful solution to the prob lem,” El-Ayouty added. The UN diplomat from the United Arab Republic also said the UN is facing a financial crisis. To help solve this, he em phasized the need for coordina tion and cooperation within the UN to conserve money and hu man resources. As a result, a committee of 83 was created to specifically deal with the question of finan cial crisis, he continued. The financial crisis ties in with peacekeeping cooperative role, and the question of mem bers being jn arrears also comes up in this connection, he continued. "The origin and scope of the crisis is directly related to the peace-keeping cooperative role of the UN.” He suggested there had to be an agreement on whether the members are auto matically involved. Further more, there should be voluntary contribution instead of an as sessmon* which is compulsory, he added. El Ayouty classed as a serious matter the issue on the depriva tion of rights of the “micro stale” members of the UN. Again, he tied this in with the peace-keeping role of the or ganization. Kl Ayouty defended the UN charter which states equality of sovereignty and gives equal rights and votes to all UN mem bers, whether they be small or big countries.
