Until very re cently there had been only light rainfall. Farmers all over the country have been toiling overtime to save their rice crops by irrigating their fields. Their means of irriga tion: long wooden troughs, the traditional tool of irrigation In Pakistan. Expression in Sonns The hardships of the men and women and the contin uous struggle among the youth to find means to support them selves find expression in the songs of folk singers, many of whom have little education. But in them the heartbeat of the country's rural popu lation can be felt. Although they lack the refinement and sublimity of more formal mu sic, they have a spontaneity and charm of their own. Some of the folk singers are poets or philosophers who compose their own songs. These men are popular in the villages and the cities. Let one strum his country- made violin and you will see a crowd of workers, farmers old men and young boys and girls gather swiftly Some of the songs they sing have been handed down from generation to gen cratlon. They tell of hard times and the struggle against the ele ments, iheir themes even hold true for today, but with a difference. Today's youth are fast adopting modern business and sales methods.

Main St, 2nd MEDFORD MAIL United Nations, 15 Yet To Solve Major Editor's note: Fifteen yean ago the United Nations was created with the slinlns ol the U.N. Char ter. Since that Ume It has marked both successes and failures. A vet eran UPI correspondent at the U.N. reviews the balance sheet In the following dispatch. By BRUCE W. MUNN United Nations, N.Y. - 01PD -The United Nations, at its 15th anniversary, finds itself in the paradox of having done everything it was designed to do except one - its chief pur pose of solving major political problems. The United Nations was conceived as a peace organiza tion by the 51 countries which signed its charter in the San Francisco Opera House June 26, 1945. But its founders conceived it as an organization to keep the peace, not one that would have to create peace among the world's great powers. Economically and socially, the United Nations has scored great success in improving the plight of the world's un derdeveloped countries. It has guided uncounted m'llions to independence and self-government and its membership con sequently has increased by 31 to a total of 82. Mora To Be Admitted At least seven more coun tries are expected to be ad mitted by the General Assem bly at the session starting here Sept. 20. This is a result of the political awakening of Africa. Many new countries have come in from Asia, dras tically changing the U.N. po litical complexion. What the founders did not foresee was the Cold War. This erupted in the Security Council a scant half-year after the U.N.'s birth, when Russia and the West clashed about the presence of Soviet troops in Iran. Founded In the closing days of World War II, when Russia and the Western powers were in coalition against Hitler's Germany, the United Nations was based on the theory of continuing big power unani ity. It quickly became appar ent that it was the miscon ception that the Big Five powers could settle tne world's problems by agree ment among themselves with in the United Nations. Fifteen years after San Francisco, the powers cannot agree on which is the fifth of the Big Five - Nationalist or Communist China. National ist China clings to the U.N. seat through the insistence of the United States and on an annually dwindling vote. No arena has seen more Cold War battles than the United Nations. Year after year, Kussia and tne west have fought In the Security Council and in the General Assembly, and the balance sheet shows nothing better than a draw, in the opinion of most qualified observers. Untold Benefits Russia has reaped untold propaganda benefits with the U.N. as a sounding board. The West, and the world, has ben efitted by blocking Soviet actions and creating, for what it is worth, a counter-opinion in the world's uncommitted countries. Chief of the United Nation political achievements has been the thwarting of aggres sion in Korea. In going to the aid of the Republic of Korea In 1950, the fledgling world organization avoided the pit fall that spelled disaster for the League of Nations. June 27, 1950, is rated by many as the most Important date in U.N. history. On that day, the Security Council voted military sanctions for the first time in modern his tory and "collective security" became more than a phrase. The League of Nations had been confronted with aggres sion, too. Although it did ex- borrow up to $1500 and take up to 24 months to repay. Drop in or phone today.

ORE. pel Russia for its invasion of Finland in 1939, it stood by helplessly when Mussolini in vaded in 1935 and when Japan took over Manchuria in 1931. It never regained its prestige or force. Some historians and politi cal scientists believe the Uni ted Nations averted a full scale World War II when it ordered aid to South Korea. Would Be Left Alone The argument is that if the United Nations had not enter ed the picture, the United States would have had to go to war i lone to help the Koreans, and Russia would certainly have entered on the Communist side. But the Kremlin would not risk world condemnation by going to war against the U.N. flag. The U.N. Command in Korea comprised forces voluntarily sent by 16 countries. How ever, the world organization could have ordered such forces into action. Its charter provides that all member countries shall make available to the S ;curity Council "arm ed forces, assistance and facili ties . . . for the purpose of maintaining inter national peace and security." Russia and the Western powers never have been able to agree on the composition of such forces - the "teeth" the United Nations needs to enforce decisions. Therein, in the opinion of most observers, lies the outstanding failure -or lack of success of the United Nations. Also on the debit side of the U.N. balance sheet are: REGISTER NOW!
