Newspaper Page TextBy DONALD JOHNSTON I'nilcn Press Internatitaal MTED NATIONS, NY. Is Still Major United Nations IHIazaircI th Congo i problem loaded with political complexities. There is no trouble collecting 'LTD The so-called East-West for the regular administrative amity so far has done nothing to ease an old familiar United Nations bugaboo money. The current 18th General As sembly session started on Sept. 17 in an atmosphere of optimism generated by the partial nuclear lest ban treaty concluded by the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. There was great hope that the relaxation of cold w ar tension would open the way for more international agree ments and progress by the Unit ed Nations. But to veteran hands in the unrk-a-day operation of the world organization there was nne cold, practical factor that could burst the balloon of high hopes: the United Nations is deep in debt and. because of the money shortage, is danger ously close tn forfeiting its primary purpose of maintain ing peace and security. Far in Red By the end of 10U3. the United Nations will be at least SHU budget, although there is in creasing grumbling about the steady rise in figures. The budget total for this year was about $89 million, and estimates for 19S4 run clost to $100 mil lion. Though most diplomats would like to ignore the Congo matter, it seems likely it will come to a head in the Assem bly's fifth (budgetary) com mittee early next month. Thant has Assembly authori zation to spend money in tin Congo only until Dec. 31. lie has warned that an extension of the authorization must come in October if the supply lines and troop deployments are to be maintained without costly rearrangements. How the showdown develops, some diplomats feel, could have consequences reaching far be yond the purely monetary con siderations.

The whole financial mess could be tidied up if the Commu nist nations and France would accept the Assembly's majority decision that peacekeeping ex penses are a collective responsi bility, and that the World Court PAGES 1 to 1U MEDFORMglTRIBlJNE MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1963 law by the Assembly, that ONUC and UNEF assessments are legally binding. Other de linquents almost surely would fall in line. But the Russians and the French so far have shown no signs of changing their positions. Liable To Penalty This brings up the question of whether the Assembly will try to penalize the delinquents. Un der Article 19 of the charter, a nation falling two years behind in payment of its assessments "shall" lose its vote in the As sembly. The Soviet Union will be liable to such penalty on Jan. 1 unless it makes some payment in the meantime. Whether t h e other nations would try to force the Russians out is a moot point. Most diplo mats feel that the United Na tions would lose its impact with out participation of the Com munist countries. At any rate, delegates are re luctant to face the question squarely at present. Since there will be no Assembly session aft er Jan. 1 until next fall unless a special session is called there probably will be no showdown for a year. And diplomats prefer to wait and see, and hope for a "miracle." million in the red, mainly be-! curity Council, Thant expressed cause of dues delinquency. The i fears of more trouble in the organization has little likelihood j Congo if the U.N. troops of collecting massive arrears of members, which total S179 mil lion as of Aug. 31. and lacks a mutually acceptable means of financing future peace opera lions such as the Congo (ONUC) and the Middle East emergency force (UNEF) in the Gaza strip. Though the financial crisis has become a familiar tale of woe since the Congo trouble erupted in 1060, there is an in teresting new element this year. The Soviet Union is nearing the pulled out at the end of the year. But he says the force can be extended in part until next June, as requested by Congolese Premier Cyrille Adoula, only if the Assembly provides the nec essary money pronto. The force has been scaled down from its top strength or more than 18,000 men to approximately 7,000 at present. Thant, on the advice of his military aides, says 6,000 men are needed to do an adequate policing job in a vast jungle point where it could lose its ' country still trying to recover assembly vote because of dues I from the disunity and destruc delinquency, a contingency that ' tion wrecked by Katanga's two- might shake the foundations around here. Secretary General Thant has warned that the United Nations simply cannot conduct its busi ness much longer if the treasury is empty. Last July he called for a reduction in U.N. activities even though membership has grown lo 111 nations from the original 51, and requests for help have multiplied. Suggests Withdrawal Because of the lack of money, Thant has suggested the with- year fight for secession. Such a force would cost $2o million tor six months. The United States, which has footed nearly 50 per cent of the $400 million Congo bill since the beginnings in 1960, believes that a force of 3,000 would be ade quate. Other nations involved in the operation have failed to reach a concensus on how big the force should be and how long it should stay in the Congo. There is the disquieting con cern that three years of intim- drawal of the Congo force, the sive work at high cost in money main drain on the treasury.

U.N. budgetary experts are al most unanimous in agreeing thai a clarilication of the fiscal muddle hinges on Ihe future of prematurely, and tribal warfare political rebellion, lawlessness and economic chaos develop again. If this were to happen, many diplomats feel, the whole image of the United Nations as a peace-keeping agency could be destroyed.
