They will be new vehicles, In
high demand, and resembling the

Like the post-war car, when
driven 1,000 miles In demonstra

be a new car. When the buyer

(Klamath Falls Herald)
"It is not true that Sheriff
Lloyd Low 'discovered' the pa
per, because when we saw it
come down, we watched to see
where it landed and immedi
ately drove down and located
It, thinking we were doing our
civic duty or some fool thing
in helping to clear up some of
the rumors."

Due to OPA monkeying with

New Zealand was especially graiuyi.m
For the speaker finally silenced the East Indian Journalists by
adopting the line we have stressed ever since the conference
opened, namely: that there is no valid distinction between 'self
government" to India that is PROMISED, and the "independence'
r. . ...ui 1,. inctet nnnn Fnr unless the term self-
tnai mey so biuuwuuj
government is improperly used it means any people enjoying
self government can have complete independence if they wish it.
The moment this is denied them, they cease to have SELF-gpvern-
m We realize this will not satisfy Mrs. Pandit, but it seemed to
satisfy the East Indians present, at least they had no comeback,
and marched silently out with their notes.
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.
