UNITED NATIONS REPORT
UN Fate Turns On U, S. Intentions
BY JAMES BOYD
United Nations Correspondent
Two events are happening al
most simultaneously at the UN
which have direct bearing on the
true intentions of the United
States toward the future of the
World Body:
toward a consensus on the pro
position that nobody can afford
an uncontrolled skirmish any
more . . . that the only antidote
to escalation is ceasefire.”
-The 19th General As
sembly is slowly grinding to
a halt having accomplished
almost nothing due to the
argument over Peacekeeping
and past financial debts. Re
gardless of the rights and
wrongs of the case, there is
serious doubt that there will
be another General Assembly
if the United States still in
sists on meaningful accom
modation concerning past
peacekeeping debts.
2—The war in Viet-Nam
has increased in violence and
contains all the aspects of
getting out of control and of
being a direct challenge to
the mandate of the United
Nations to keep the peace.
On February 10 Ambassador
Stevenson gave an important
speech before the American
Bankers Association in which he
reiterated complete faith in the
indispensable role of the United
Nations; “The modem world, the
nuclear age, without collective
security, without the United Na
tions, is unthinkable.” And in
talking about the dangers of lit
tle wars becoming big wars, he
said, “Perhaps we are edging
The question in everyone’s
mind is whether these remarks
are consistent with what the
United States Government is act
ually doing. If the United States
insists on solving past peacekeep
ing operations, namely, the fi
nancial debts for the Congo and
the Middle East, it is a sure bet
that the deadlock will remain and
the UN will gradually fall apart.
History will put heavy blame on
the United States for adopting a
rigid policy involving limited
amounts of money instead of
looking to the future where there
is hope.

Ambassador Stevenson said,
“There are those who, like Russia
and France, feel that, irrespective
of the Charter, it is not realistic
or practical to force a major pow
er to pay for peacekeeping opera
tions to which it is opposed.
Frankly we are prepared to con
cede that, in developing a financ
ing formula for the future, this
view cannot be ignored.” The
point is that the Charter is the
same today as it was in 1960 when
the dispute started. Therefore, if
this is indeed the position of the
United Sates for the future, why
does it not also apply to the past?
This is a point that both Russia
and France have been making
from the beginning and will con
tinue to make.
The other concern is United
States intentions in Viet-Nam.
Though the Assembly is unable
to function, the Security Council
still remains in full force. Under
Article 99 the Secretary-General
“may bring to the attention of
the Security Council any matter
which in his opinion may threaten
the maintenance of peace and se
curity.”
There can be no doubt that the
war in Viet-Nam is a threat to
peace. Nor does it come under
the applicability of Article 51
which gives any Member state
the right to self-defense, because
the United States has already
notified the President of the Se
curity Council that the U. S. air
attacks are “retaliatory.”
Very soon now the United Na
tions and the world may learn
the truth about U. S. intentions
. . . whether Mr. Stevenson’s
words of February 10 are merely
pious expressions of goodwill or
accepted U. S. foreign policy. The
United Nations can only survive
if its mandate of peace applies to
all nations, big and small. If it
is to become a divided policy, a
policy for control of the small
nations but freedom for the big,
then it will become an empty
shell with no meaning.
If a great Power like the Unit
ed States, with its democratic
principles, its wealth, its military
power, insists on its right regard
ing past peacekeeping functions,
then the UN will die. If it insists
that its war in Viet-Nam is its
own private affair, the peace
keeping mandate of the United
Nations will be undermined.
In these crucial days one can
only hope that Ambassador Stev
enson spoke for the United States
when he said, “The modern world
without the UN is unthinkable.”
