Por nvnisor (. n inree man with a Dink face and very bald head which shines brightly (lri the Kleig lights. He was a New Dealer Inns hpfnre President Roosevelt coined the phrase, ana irom wnat we have seen of him, would also classify him as a thorough-going idealist. One of the East Indian newspaper men dismissed mm as "hopelessly naive" and of course that may be true but we are inclined to doubt it. except In the sense that all true Idealists are often a bit starry-eyed and impractical. However that mav be. an extremely Important point was stressed at this conference, namely: the matter of INTERPRETATION of the charter, that is how In practice the various and sundry rules and regulations are to be construed. Mr. Fraser, for example, a loyal supporter of the British Empire, Interpreted the term "self government" as a pledge to India that EVENTUALLY that country will be given self-government and If then the people of India vote for complete independence, they will be granted it. One of the East Indian correspondents rose to ask if that was the official view of the New. Zealand delegation or only his own personal view. The reply was it was only a personal view, of course, Mr. Fraser could not speak for the committee. But he felt that was .the common-sense interpretation. In the direction of human betterment and greater freedom for all dependent peoples, the New Zealand leader, was also most optimistic. The charter, as he reads it, will make it mandatory that wherever conditions exist among any peoples witnin tne control of the United Nations, which are contrary to their advance ment and greater good, the matter will be brought to the attention of the League through the department of social and economic betterment, and action will be taken. The same note was stressed at the open meeting following this conference, by Premier Eraser's colleague from Australia, Dr. Evatt, who led the fight against the one-power veto, regarding conciliatory action, and lost out. In his remarks before the section was adopted, the able and aggressive gentleman from "Down Under" graciously bowed to the will of the majority of the committee, but expressed the fervent hope of all the smaller powers that when it came down to actual operation the Big Five would interpret the section liberally and thus encourage rather than discourage' all efforts by nations to settle their differences at all times by peaceful means FIRST, only when they might fall would League force be considered. As usual the Australian Jurist made an extremely strong case. and received a big hand from the gallery when he took his seat. And this point is MOST Important. For the ultimate results depend not so much on the crossing of the "t's" and the dotting of the "l's" in this particular document, as upon the essential aims and the over-all spirit of the Big Powers, when they are called upon to interpret the words and phrases that will make up the final covenant. The exact text will be a factor and an Important one. But even more important will be the will and the spirit of those called upon to administer it. R.W.R. San Francisco, June 21. The conference started as we re marked at the time much like a national convention of the Democratic party. It promises to end the same way with the distinguished "nominee", flying here to accept the nomination (In this case the finished charter) and everyone Jumping on the bandwagon and eager to get In the limelight. And as the easiest way to get in the limelight at this performance Is to notify the chairman you wish to make speech, well for two solid days now there has been "nothlng-else-but" up at the Grand Opera House. And they have been good speeches. - But a steady stream of "talky-talk" before a microphone and with considerable Latin-American temperament thrown In, HAS been tiring. As a result the sudden change In the climate from summer to winter including a cold fog, has been welcome. Had the heat and humidity of a week ago prevailed, the results might have pleased the local morticians but no one elsel Yes, very good speeches and most of them In English. The most revealing was given by our old friend from New Zealand, Premier Peter Fraser, who called a spade a spade and but fnr certain Inadequacies in terminal facilities, might well have been awarded the honors for the best effort of the two days. But like most political crusaders. Mr. Fraser is highly emotional, and once aroused is Inclined to soar Into the stratosphere and fail to pick out a good place to land when his oratorical engine runs out of gas. The result was not a smash-up but it did give the audience scare for a time, and prevented a good speech from being a distinguished one. , . ' The subject was the vital one of the entire conference, the much discussed one-power veto insisted upon by the Big Five. And the day was given over largely to speeches from the socalled smaller nations, who fought day and night for a solid month against such an arrangement, but were finally beaten In the committee, not by affirmative votes as we have previously pointed out, but by the refusal of 15 nations to vote cither for or against. This point was brought out very clearly by Mr. Fraser, and has not been denied, namely: that had the 50 nations here assem bled gone down the line on this Issue and voted their CONVIC TIONS, the one-power veto would have been smashed to bits. Why wasn't It? Why didn't they? Here Is Premier Fraser's answer: e e e Because they knew, and If they didn't know they were quickly Informed that It was a question of putting that veto power in the charter or having no charter at all! e e e e That Is what every newspaper man here has known for weeks but few have said anything about It. For there was always a hope that the ultimatum would be modified or even abandoned. But It never was. And it has also been known by a few and surmised by many that the author and chief supporter of that ultimatum was Soviet Russia. All the other Big Powers, England, China, France and the United States supported Russia In this BUT, Not because they BELIEVED In the principle, not because they would not have gladly accepted . modification; but because Comrade Stalin said: "YOU DO THIS OR ELSE!" And the "else" meant, the Soviet delegation would have packed up their vodka and caviar and taken the first plane for Moscow, via the North Pole! There In brief Is the "clarification" supplied by Peter Fraser. And in an unusually direct, lucid and sincere but too lengthy speech. He of course did not mention Russia. But everyone knows that is the situation. Not that the other Big Powers oppose what they term "unanim ity" In the permanent membership. They vary in their devotion, but all are for it, under the circumstances. Soviet Russia, however, is the ONLY nation that would have refused to sign the charter WITHOUT that provision. So, as Premier Fraser so clearly explained, while not only his country, New Zealand, but a majority of those represented here strongly opposed giving such tremendous power of annulment, to any one nation: when it all came down to accepting that pro vision or having no United Nations charter at all, New Zealand and most of the other opposing nations, voted for saving the charter from DESTRUCTION! Premier Fraser has a very wonderful voice, and treat sincerity. but we should say he lacks the intellectual power and clarity of nis Antipodean contemporary Dr. Evatt of Australia. Like him he puts all his cards on the table and refuses to pull his nunches. A remarkable pair In fact these two statesmen from the other side of the world. The people of Australia and New Zealand should be proud of them, and no doubt are! R.WJl. Eugene.

Horse Shoe Pitching To the editor The clang of steel as the shoes hit the pin at tracts many residents as well as visitors to the splendid court of the Medford Horse Shoe club In the City Park on West.
