QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Has UN Helped Peace Prospects?

AT THE ORPHEUM:
'Court
Martial'
Hot&Heavy1
"Court Martial." the latest of-
fering at the Orpheum, is a film.
which explores in great detail the
workings of military courts of law
in Great Britain. If you are fas-
cinated by such highly specialized
subjects you will find this movie
an educational boon.
If, on the other hand, you wish
a good story and sound drama,
you will be sorely disappointed.
"Court Martial" is loaded with
hot and heavy histrionics and it
moves at an incredibly slow pace.
It is about the trial of a British
army officer who is accused of
taking army funds to pay his fam-
ily's debts. There is no doubt in
anyone's mind that the officer did
take the funds.
BUT THE question raised is
whether he did so fraudulently,
since he claims he warned the pro-
per authorities that he was going
to take the money-money which
was owed to him. The legal prin-
ciple involved here is interesting
to muse upon, but not enough to
sustain the audience'soattention.
A little dramatic tension is cre-
ated by the trial scenes, but each
time the court takes a recess, so
does the audience's interest.
The big trouble with this movie
is that it has so very little to say
about the people it deals with.
They are introduced as types -
the men with chests full of shiny
medals and the women with stiff
upper British lips-and they stay
that way.
* - * * '
NEVER ARE they revealed as
individuals. They move sluggish-
ly, stuffily through the picture,
stopping every now and then to
pose and make some intensely
emotional speech. They shout,
sneer, and moan in so over-
wrought a manner as to resemble
the common television soap, opera.
David Niven, as the young offi-
cer, and Margaret Leighton, as his
distraught young wife, handle their
uninspiring lines about as well as
anybody could. It is a pity that
two such fine talents as theirs
should be wasted on such a dull
film.

For Wide, Open Spaces
To the Editor:
AS AN incoming freshman I have
been subjected to the many
shortcomings of a large Univer-
sity. Some of these are "so-called"
traditions, much to my surprise.
The particular case I am con-
cerned with is the congestion in
the Mason Hall lobby between
classes. This is probably the poor-
est example of college life I have
witnessed in my short stay here;

one of the most disgusting sights
presented to the new student.
The lobby is not only blocked
for passage but those crude people
who congregate there are so loud
and boisterous that it is impossible
to think or even to hear oneself
think.
The only solution for this prob-
lem is to take these insipid indi-
dividuals and to build for them a
structure suitable to their nature
-a pig's sty. Then this obnoxious
herd may gpssip, yell, shriek, and
do whatever else pleases them to
their heart's content. I know I
sound rash but I am, as I imagine
other students on this campus also
are.
-Harrison Baruch, '59

IF OFFERING no solution, the Thursday de-
bate between Israeli and Arab points of
view did manage to hit on the problem pretty
well.
In a nutshell, it's the matter of existence.
Israel maintains that it has the right to exist
in the Middle East, the Arab states insist that
it does not. That's it, and all the recent con-
flict over Czech arms to Egypt, the blocking of
the Suez canal, Israeli raids over the Arab bor-
der--all of it stems directly from this basic
disagreement.
Israel, to justify its position, points to the
United Nations decision which divided Pales-
tine and set up the new state. And although
most Israelis feel that this is all the justifica-
tion needed, others will go back into the his-
tory of the twelve Hebrew tribes, and their
settling of Palestine, even before the Arabs
settled on its Mediterranian border.
'THE ARAB position, on the other hand, states
that the United Nations action was not le-
gal, or at least was not fair since it was done
without the consultation of the 1948 inhabi-
tants of the mostly Arab area. And they ques-
tion whether the claims of King David thou-
sands of years ago are of any legitimacy today.
And then there's the Balfour Declaration. "It
gives us a claim," say the Israelis.
"It was high-pressure Zionism," say the
Arabs.
What is evident from all this is that the
problem that existed in 1948 was certainly not
settled either by the UN or the Arab-Israeli
war. If the Israelis won the right of existence
in that war, it was only existence pro tem.
"There is no room in the Middle East for the
state of Israel" is the Arab declaration, and its
a declaration that can't be compromised. You

Israel may strike now in "preventive war"
before the Arabs can increase their military '
buildup: This is especially true if Premier
Moshe Sharett can't convince Western powers
to equal Comizunist arms to Egypt with arms
to Israel.
Actually the West is not at all anxious to
alienate the Arab states, mainly for fear of a
Communist stronghold in the Middle East. Such
a stronghold would tend to cancel out the ad-
vantages of the present pro-West Baghdad
alliance in the area and create a serious trouble
spot.
T HE only other solution, and probably the
only chance of a peaceful one, would put
the problem back where it started, in the United
Nations.
If the organization of nations is to set up
a ruling and have it mean something, it must
somehow reconcile both parties to it. If it
can't, perhaps a new solution is needed. At
least .the two parties involved should not be
left to fight out the decision on the basis of
'might.'
Israel wants the solution which led to the
present status quo. The Arabs want a return
to the "state" of Palestine with the inhabitants
left to choose their own government, probably
Arab because of the population majority.
Whichever side is deemed right by the United
Nations, the decision must be accepted by the
other, or face the "might" of the entire UN
instead of only the winning claimant.
AS OF THE present, the state of Israel ex-
ists. It exists because the United Nations
brought it into existence. If this is illegal, it is
a new matter for the UN, but the very fact of
its existence means that the statinqua should

By DICK SNYDER
Daily staff Writer
THIRTY-SIX years ago the
League of Nations was born,
and only ten years have passed
since its successor, the United Na-
tions first met in San Francisco.
Ten years after the League's be-
ginning, most Americans were
looking at the world through rose-
colored glasses, totally unconscious
that the disastrous events leading
up to World War II were then be-
ing precipitated.
Now, after an equal period of
UN operation, are the prospects
for peace any different from those
in 1929?
What changes in world politi-
cal atmosphere have taken place
and what is their significance as
related to international organiza-
tion?
Prof. Philip B. Taylor of the
political science department here
gives his views on these vital is-
sues.
* * *
Q: What international circum-
stances have taken place since the
League which would have bearing
upon the operation of the UN?
A: When talking of a body of
this kind, let us first remember-
that success or failure in achiev-
ing its goal depends not primarily
upon the structural or legal setup,
but upon political considerations
of the time. Not legal phraseolo-
gy, but the willingness of the mem-
ber nations to maintain peace,
then, is the prime contributing
factor to success of an organiza-
tion such as the League or the
United Nations.
The circumstances which have
developed during the time of the
UN are quite different from those
which occurred ipi the period of
the League. Though the League
met with moderate success, no
great challenge was made to the
status quo that existed after the
First World War.
On the other hand, only recently
we have witnessed events such as
Korea, Indochina, the Albanian-
Yugoslavian attack on Greece and
the Chiang Kai-shek issue-all of
which could very well have pre-
cipitated war, but due to lack of
proper circumstances have not.
Now, as opposed to the 1917-18
period, the public for the most part
realizes that war cannot be won.
It is both ironic and true to say
that the atomic bomb has done
a lot for international organization
and peace.
Q: How would you compare
membership composition of the
two bodies and its effect?
A: At the time of the establish-
ment of the League, France did
not view the purposes of interna-
tional organization any too altru-
istically and the United States re-

-Daily-Glenn Kopp
PROF. PHILIP B. TAYLOR
... "UN is a necessity"
in effectiveness of organization
from the United State's abisence in
the League and Red China's ab-
sence from the UN?
A: No. The two situations are
marked with several differences.
Where it was vital that the Unit-
ed States join the League, it was
not vital that Communist China
be admitted to the UN. While the
United States did not want to
Join the League even though ask-
ed, Red .China desires UN mem-
bership although the body has
not yet conceded her right to such
membership.
Along this line, I might add it
is entirely up to the United States
now whether Red China gains ad-
mittance. I think there is little
doubt that she will eventually be-
come a UN member.
Q: What differences do you see
between the two bodies in means
of meeting aggression?
A: None. Neither body has pos-
sessed the power of successfully
overcoming armed aggression. In-
ternational aggression calls for
more than the mere police force
which the UN charter provides.
However, this is not to say that.
the power to meet and stop ag-
gression may not develop. As I
see it, there will be an eventual
"pairing" of the United States and
Russia. on the question of willing-
ness to use violence, thereby en-
abling debate to proceed on other
matters of less political signifi-
cance. In other words ,the two
countries will simply agree that
they disagree on this matter and
discussion will stop.
Q: What do you mean by
"pairing?"
' A: Pairing is what takes place
when, for instance, a Republican
and Democratic member of Con-
gress have announced opposite
stands on some particular issue
and then are absent from voting
for some reasonsTheir votes can-
cel each other out.
I think eventuially we will se

United Nations, as compared to
the League?
A:, Undoubtedly, the specialized
agencies as typified by the techni-
cal aid programs. In the field of
technical assistance, the UN has
produced astounding results, far
beyond anything the League was
able to do.
Particularly amazing is the fact
that these programs have been
carried out with relatively small
cash expenditure. Recently a
penicillin plant was built in In-
dia through UN assistance. Outside
of the technicians and a few ma-
chines made only in this country,
the Indian government supplied
all the necessities. This points up
the reason for the deserved in-
creases in budget and staff which
these agencies are now getting."
* .* * '
Q: Do you*see evidence in the
United Nations of any of the dis-
integrating factors of the League?
A: Certainly all of the factors
which caused the League to break
up are still with us today. Some
may have, been covered up to
some extent, but they are all po-
tential dangers to the UN.
.One problem that always has
plagued this country is the fact
that American foreign policy is
sensitive to public opinion, and
though we may have policy ex-
perts, they must either convince
the people of the wisdom of their
opinions or risk their jobs. Cer-
tainly they may lead opinion, but
they can go little farther than
where the citizens are willing to
go.
The United Nations has more
chance for success today than did
its predecessor 26 years ago, if only
for the fact that the people have
changed their views toward in-
ternational organization. If the
people want the UN to work, its
legal structure will work.
Since the potentiality for evil is
greater than ever today,,we have
to be equal to the task of preserv-
ing world peace. I think the peo-
ple know the United Nations is a
necessity, regardless of the voci-
ferousness of its opposition.
