Brown) U.S. vetoes resolution (Continued fro m page ! column 6) economic and political process. We recognize that a measure o f change is already under way in South A f rica. A t such a tim e , when many South Africans o f all races, in and out o f Government, are seeking to move away from apartheid, it is our task to be supportive o f this process so that proponents o f reform and n onviolent change can gain and hold the initiative." The U .S . veto was not unexpected. A ccording to a N ew York Times report the dom inant topic o f conversation at the United Nations Saturday was the growing iso latio n o f the U .S . in a w orld community that has almost univer sally condemned South Africa's at tack. The U .S . position was forcefully outlined in a speech Saturday night by acting U .N . delegate Charles L ichenstein, who defended the South African government's action. Stating that the U .S. "deplores vio lence form any quarter," he said the assault must be understood in its "surrounding context" marked by the fact that Angola contains "large elements o f foreign advisors" and that "substantial supplies o f foreign arms have been shipped into Angola to supply and resupply elements o f the South-West Africa People’s O r ganization that have engaged in vio lence across the Angolan border.” A release by the government o f Cuba compared the brutality o f the invasion o f A ngola w ith the apartheid and the illegal occupation o f Nam ibia by South A frica. C a ll ing the invasion an act o f cowardice, the Cuban government warned that if the invasion reaches areas where C uban troops are stationed the troops will fulfill their committment to the Angolan people by meeting the enemy with everything at their disposal and repeated its intention to stand behind the people o f Angola " in defense o f the indepen dence and national integrity." The U n ited States was the only nation voting against the resolution, B rita in abstained. M exico said a fa ili/te to denounce South A fric a would seriously im pair respect for the Security C o u n c il; In d ia sug gested that South A frica could not engage in aggression without "sup port and encouragement from cer tain Western quarters for economic and so-called strategic reasons. South A fric a rad io charged Monday that as the controversy de veloped "W e s t European govern ments joined the Third W orld com munist outcry against P re to ria .” These nations blamed South Africa and not S W A P O for the problem , branded South A fric a ’s conduct as "in ad m issab le" and pledged sup port for A n g o la. This a ttitu d e , South A fric a charged, stemmed from the new Socialist government in Paris. “ It was left to the United States to make a realistic assessment and to view the Angolan action in an East- West c o n te x t___ Started by the United States and highlighted by the South African move against Soviet- backed forces in southern Angola, there is now the hope that realism will prevail over ideology and emo tion in the Western evaluations o f the struggle in the region."
