session.

The Soviet Union itself W85 elected by 41 votes along with the other Big Five powers. That is customary in the United Nations but Russia's other candidate for vice - president, Poland, barely squeezed through with 2a votes, one more than the required mal- ority of 2f.

Mexico, supported by the West-

ern countries, was elected the seventh vice-president by 39 votes.

The real scrapping began in the steering committee, which met on the stage o1 the huge underground assembly hall at the Palais de Chaillot. This committee always gives a preview of the line the powers will take in the full As- sembly debate,

In a fast-stepping session the committee decided to recommend that the Assembly take up these items:

i. Russia's veto of the United Nations membership applica- tions of Austria, Finland, Eire, Italy, Portugal and ‘Frans-Jor- den.

2. The report of the Balkans Commission, which Russia has boycotted. The Commission ic- ported that Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia supported the Greek guerrillas.

3. The report on the Korean Commission. This tells how s Korean government was set up in the southern some occupied by the United States under the watch-care oi the Commission.

4, Argentina's demand for a, special conference of countries to study the question of the big-power veto in the Security Council.

5. The report of the year- around Little Assembly, which Russia has boycotted. It sug- gested that the veto be out- lawed on peaceful settlements.

The steering committee can only recommend that the Assem- bly take up or reject subjects. The final decisiOn is up to the Assembly but action of the can- mittee usually carries great weight,

of Israel." ‘

A Reuters dispatch said the statement means that British for- eign policy has undergone a "rev- olutionary change."

"For the first time Britain now supports a partition plan icr Pal- estine which will leave in perma- nent being a Jewish state," Reu- ters said. -

Prepared Address

The Foreign Secretary stood hunched over a table reading frflm a prepared manuscript instead of indulging in his usual style of cxtemporaneous speaking.

"We are firmly resolved to go 0n with our policy.” Bevin said, "and 1 trust we shall have the whole-hearted support of the House and the natl0n in doing it. because I arm convinced that it is essential for peace and our secur- ity for many years to come.

“We: are dealing with people who are contesting it now, from whom you cannot buy peace.

"It reminds me of 1040, after Dunkerque," Bevin said, "It will be recalled that the Prime Min- ister at that time (Winston Churchill), discussing the position we were in, said ‘Whatever Y0“ give and wherever you go to meet the demands, you cannot settle.’

“He was right. in this case, if you try going any further than you have done in making con- cesslons of territory, it does not satisfy the dcmands.

"There is the conflict," he said.

"We have to make our own pos- ition flrm and secure. Berlin stands out now as the Symbol 0f resistance-a sort of salient.“

As to the dangers of firmness in Berlin, Bevin said: "We want to fight nobody."

But, he declared, "f felt that when the blockade was put on a grave choice had to be made, We made it

"I believe east and west have got. to live together. I am ready to live together and ready to say ‘You live in peace in the area you have so“ ..

Wins Opposition Support

1h the absence of Winston Churchill, Richard Butler, Con- servative ionmer Cabinet member. lined the Opposition up with Bevin‘: declarations."

"If that represents the policy of this Government." Butler said, Bevin "can go back to Paris and tell them there that we shall back him to put that sort of policy through."

Butler stressed the "growths dlsqlll " In Britain at the possible outcome of the Kremlin talks. This he attributed "largely to the lack of information which has prevailed."

Amid Opposition cheers. he laid: "What we want to get clear is not so much whether a tech- nlcsl ugteemcnt can be reached on currency, trading questions or anything else, but whether the Russians intend to honor any eg- reement made. We are at the present moment in a most grave and uneasy situation."

There should be a much clearer political and military understand- ing in Europe in addition to eco- nomic development.

Something wider than the Western Union pact was needed. something which would include "the new Italy," something that would interest Portugal and some- ,thin that would "bind together all ose countries which are ready to enter an agreement which is vital if we are to have the strength

of our convictions"
