Address AVC

Soviet Vice Commissar Andrei
Vishinsky declared in a statement
to the council that he would not in-
sist on a declaration that British
troops in Greece were a menace to
world peace, as he had originally
charged, nor that those troops should
be withdrawn immediately.
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
then announced Britain would ac-
cept a formula for settling the dis-
pute which was drafted originally
by the United States and introduced
tonight by Russia. It provided for
having the council drop the case with
a statement by President Norman
J. 0. Makin of Australia, and pass
on to the nextbusiness.
Bevin previously had insisted that
the council clearly exonerate Britain
of what he termed "this most dia-
bolical" charge.
After Bevin accepted the formula,
Makin declared the case closed and
shortly afterwards the session was
adjourned until 5 p.m. tomorrow (12
noon E.S.T.).
Both Vishinsky and Bevin assured
members of the council that their
main aim was for unity in the in-
terest of world peace and stated in-
dividually their willingness to make
concessions to that end.

SEOUL, Korea, Feb. 6-(MP-Inde-
pendence-hungry but politically-in-
experienced Korea today received
concrete assurance of American and
Russian intentions to restore self-
rult.
Korean political 'spokesmen, how-

over any move to postpone full inde-
pendence to this little nation dom-
inated for nearly half a century by
.Japan.
A joint communique, released at,
thec close of a three-week American-
Soviet conference, set forth plans to
establish a two-power commission to
help Korea organize a provisional
government.
There were no details, however, of
the plan for political freedom.
The commission will have ten
members, five from the United States
and five from Russia, Headquarters
will be at Seoul, but the commission
will travl to other parts of the
nation.

Anti.Strike
Legislation
Approved
House Adjourns
Before Final Vote
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 - The
House tentatively approved a broad
new strike control bill late today, but
adjourned without final action on
the measure.
A technicality raised by Rep. Hoff-
man (Rep.-Mich) blocked a conclu-
sive roll call vote on the far-reaching
legislation offered by Rep. Case
(Rep.-SD).
Hoffman demanded that the bill,
with all its numerous amendments,
be read to the members before they
voted.
Speaker Rayburn (Dem.-Texas)
announced that a copy could not be
available at least until midnight, so
the members agreed to adjourn.
Rayburn said the roll call ballots
on final passage will be the first order
of business at tomorrow's session,
which starts at noon (EST)).
Hoffman told newspapermen he
insisted on reading of the engrossed
bill because "the House is voting
without adequate consideration of la-
bor legislation." He added:
"We have been fussing about labor
legislation for six years, and now we
won't give even a week to its consider-
ation. Out of all this confusion I'd
like for the members of the House to
know what is in the Case Bill before
they finally act upon it."

"British imperialism as it was
known in the 19th century no longer
exists, but England still has great in-
terest in certain areas outside her
own borders and considers it impor-
tant to keep in contact with them,"
Prof. William B. Willcox of the his-
tory department said yesterday.
India has long been the focal
point of British colonial interest,
he said. There is a background of

Combinatioin of
Cultu res Asked
"We should combine cultures that
shriek disharmoniously into one
great harmony as in a Bach fugue,"
Prof. Palmer A. Throop, of the De-
partment of History, said yesterday
in a talk at the Lester Co-op.
Speaking on "Historical Differ-
ences in Social Reform," Prof.
Throop said that' 'we must be able
to predict the behavior of other peo-
ple" and foresee their changing be-
havior.
In working with differences in
varied cultures in the world, "the
object is to create similar habits in
dealings with other people," he con-
cluded.

protect her various routes to India,
such as the Suez Canal, the Medi-
terranean area and South Africa.
"Britain has always resented, for
example, any attempt on the part of
Russia to extend her influence in the
east Mediterranean area, around the
Balkans or anywhere in the direction
of India," Prof. Willcox pointed out.
The present sore spots causing
trouble at the UNO conference are
the very ones that have been areas of
friction in the past as far as England
is considered, he contended. The mu-
tual interests of Russia and Britain
in the same areas have inevitably
clashed.
"For instance, for more than a
century England has been inter -
ested in Greece', which is on a
major route to India. She also has
been concerned about Turkey and
the Dardanelles. The Palestine
question is so important because of
its strategic relationship to the
Suez Canal, also a major route to
India," Prof. Willcox added.
The present fight over Iran is of
vital concern to Great Britain be-
cause it is near enough to India to
make the British sensitive to any
Russian influence there, he declared.
As a whole, it may be stated that the
majority of British expansion in the
19th century began from way staitons
to India, such as Capetown and Suez.
"While I do not intend to defend
all aspects of British imperialism,"
Prof. Willcox said, "this desire to
maintain areas of influence outside
of England proper is not abnormal.
The British interest in the east
Mediterranean may be compared
with our concern over the area
arcund the Isthmus of Panama."
