Berlin Blockade And Atomic Energy
Disagreements Baffle U* N* Council
Recently the United Nations
Conference has been at a stand
still. The United States and Brit
ain have been putting up with
Russia’s stubbornness long
enough; they are now beginning
to fight back. The most danger
ous issues before the U.N. are the
Berlin blockade and the atomic
energy question. The Berlin cri
sis was put before the Security
Council by the U. S., Britain and
France, who charged that it was
a menace to world peace. Vishin-
sky answered by denying that a
blockade existed and by saying
that the council had no right to
deal with this case. In January,
1946, the Big Five and Canada
unanimously approved a resolu
tion which called for a plan to
control the atom. At that time,
the U.N. Atomic Energy Commis
sion was set up, and since then
there have been numerous dis
agreements wath Russia. The re
sult is that nothing has suspended.
The smaller nations in the U.N.
are worried about these argu
ments Avith Russia. They do not
Avant to get shoved into a Avar
started by the Big Five.
Thus, it is in this deadlock that
the United Nations Conference
enters another Aveek of unsuccess
ful convening.
^ ^ ^
In a poll made this Aveek by
Archibald M. Crossley, the DeAvey-
Warren ticket took the lead.
DeAvey took the lead, in all of the
NeAV England states except Rhode
Island and in the mid-Atlantic
area also. The poll shoAvs that
Wallace votes are declining; these
Avill apparently go for Truman.
A Crossley Poll is noAV being fin
ished that Avill compare Truman
and Thurmond.
