UN reminded of resolution

By RALPH IZARD

SAN FRANCISCO

Bandung and the conference of
Asian and African peoples and na-
tions held there in April was a
theme woven through speeches by

many delegates to the tenth com-
memorative session of the United
Nations in this city. ;

But only one South American
delegate spoke up for those nations
stretching south from. the Rio
Grande “still under the colonial
system” that constitute the main
base for U.S. imperialism.

“He was Dr. Walter Guevara-
Arze, external relations minister
for Bolivia, the small, land-locked
nation of little more than three
million population. that lies be-
tween Brazil to its eastward, and
the Pacific coastal nations of Peru
and Chile.

His speech was concerned
principally with the hopes that
under-developed countries have
for aid from the UN‘s technical
assistance programs, the “.
prospects of freedom without
that bloodshed which has until
now marked all progress along
the road to political independ-
ence.”

Dr. Guevara-Arze, in obvious ap-
peal to his fellow Latin ‘Americans,
said that from the UN ‘forum,
where every sound echoes through-
out the world, they may without

- fear or restriction state their prob-
~ lems and defend their points of
view.”

As proof of this contention, Dr.
Guevera-Arze cited the UN Gen-
eral Assembly’s resolution 626,

Armed police
raid parley.

CAPETOWN

Police armed with rifles raided
the Congress of the People.at Jo-
hannesburg last week and arrested
some of the delegates.

The arrest of delegates who were
said to be without “the necessary
documents,” come after police had
searched hundreds of people tak-
ing part in the meeting. :

Several thousand Africans, In-

dians and other Colored people, | :
and Europeans, attended the meet-|;

ing to adopt a freedom charter de-
manding social, political and eco-
nomic equality for all in South
Africa. ;

_Defying the government’s. in-
timidatory actions, speakers cour-
ageously rose to denounce the
tyranny and oppression of the Stry-
dom government and to emphasize
the necessity for a united move-

ment to end racialism and racial

legislation.

Quarantine aalvecated

-, LONDON

The Union of South Africa is
a growing menace to world peace,
the great-great-grandson of a slave
told a Westminster Abbey congre-
gation last week.

He was the Rev. Dr. Marcus
James, a 32-year-old Jamaican
Negro and diocesan chaplain of
Birmingham. ‘

South Africa, he said, “should
be quarantined as long as it per-
sists in its present evil.course.”

The time has now come, he said,
to declare that there was no room
in the Commonwealth for “that
nation which, for tfe majority of
its inhabitants, is a police state
dedicated to the diabolical princi-
ple of racial injustice and oppres-
sion.”

Bolivian stood up for
right of small nations

jintroduced and supported by Boli-
via and Uruguay.

This resolution, in its second
paragraph, states that the UN:

“Further recommends all mem-
ber states to refrain from acts,
direct or indirect, designed to im-
pede the sovereignty of any state
over its natural resources.”

Referring to the struggle for its
passage on December 21, 1952, Dr.
Guevara-Arze said that “the U.S.
delegation, in line with the prin-
ciples which guide its government’s
economic policy, stubbornly oppos-
ed the adoption of the draft reso-
lution and was the only delegation
to vote against it.

In 1952 the Korean war was at
its height. “U.S. General Douglas
MacArthur commanded a “UN
army” overwhelmingly drawn from
the U.S. with only token forces
from other countries, which the
U.S. constantly sought to increase.

“Had the times and circum-
stances been different,’ Dr. Guev-
ara-Arze said, “reprisal, or at least
resentment, followed by lack of
cooperation, might have been ex-
pected. In the case in point, how-
ever, nothing of the sort happen-
ed.”

Earlier in his speech, Dr.
Guevara-Arze said that Resolu-
tion 626 had been of “capital
importance to the Bolivian peo-
ple . . .“ and that it had been
“the coup de grace to those who
exploited my country for years.”

Chief among these was Simon
Patino, owner of the fabulously
rich tin mines high in the Andes.

Part of the miserable pay Paino
gave his miners was in the form
of the leaf of the coca bush, the al-
kaloid of which is the narcotic,
cocaine. Working at an altitude
almost beyond human endurance,
and able to afford little food, the
miners — mostly Indians — were

SINGAPORE |

The British command in Malaya
is striving to justify its outright
refusal to negotiate with the
Malayan People’s Liberation Army
for an end to the costly war in
Malaya.

Recently, on the seventh anni-
versary of the outbreak of the war,
which began in June 1948, the
Malayan People’s Liberation Army
proposed to the British authorities

holding’ of a round-table confer-
ence of all Malayan political
parties to end the conflict.
British authorities stated they
would consider only unconditional
surrender of the Liberation forces

which they have been unable to
defeat, despite the concentration
of 20 battalions of troops, 100,000
armed police and air and naval
units.

At ‘one time U.S. command-
er in Korea, General Clark recent-

ly called for the United Nations to

be converted into an anti-Soviet

bloc. :

At the same time he demanded
the breaking of the diplomatic
relations with the Soviet Union.

“Inevitably,” he said, “I think
there must be a showdown with
Communism.”

The report of General Clark’s
“task force’ also included an ex-
tensive “top secret” report on the
activities of U.S. agents abroad,
not made public “because of its
extremely sensitive content.”

This was sent straight to Presi-
dent Eisenhower.

The published report says
there should be “greater con-
centration on the collection of
intelligence information from
our primary target’ which it
