Eiiscrttcaltite mo rer Tea- TIi e Assembly Opens Probably the most reassuring report accompanying the evening of the United Nations General Assembly session for 1ZZ 1 is that concerning the question of Communist Chinese membership. Britain, according to this report, will vote to postpone consideration of the issue. This is a needed sign of Anglo-American cooperation on tvhat might have been the most explosive matter before this Assembly. cIts debate, might .well have, put further , strains cn Anglo-American and therefore on Western unity. . The world indeed both worlds, free and Communist trill be watching this session for its reflections on the present status of American leadership of the free world. The UN consensus is that this is low. .. JiT"? ;, The session promises to be uncomfortable at times for Tashinrton. " For example, observers see a defeat for the , United States at the outset: fax the withdrawal of Prince Wan cf Thailand from the candidacy for President of the Asscm Lly leaving the field free to Dr. Van. Kief fens of the Nether- lnds. The United States had been supporting Prince Wan c-ainst a majority favoring Dr. Van Kleffcns. Then, too, Greek demands for a plebiscite in Cyprus, rr.tmy of whose population are asking for union with Greece instead of colonial status, under Britain, pose a serious question. ques-tion. How best to show America's sincere interest in freedom i ex colonial peoples without adding unnecessarily to divisions in the western alliance? The session may well see also a new Soviet drive to split the allies over disarmament and the atom. These and other challenges to Western unity, however, csn be faced with more confidence in view of the disposition cf London and Washington to work together on the issue of UN recognition for Red China. : A postponement of consideration considera-tion of this question is by no means a settlement of it But it is the circumstances a considerable and timely victory for Western unity. . f Courtesy Christian Science Monitor 7 ' Library Ne:a:: Non-flcUon ' Ten Csn Eb Healed by Clifton 31 Hew and Clilton J, Kew.
