Move To Stop Red Peace Jam Power Urged By Eaton
Eaton, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a U.S. delegate who helped draft the U.N. charter, says action is needed to curb Soviet power over the United Nations peacekeeping machinery. A decision by mid May on forming a world conference to strengthen the U.N. is expected, with Palestine and arms embargo questions also on the committee’s agenda. Eaton warns the situation is dangerous and outlines two main paths: amending the U.N. charter via General Assembly and Security Council votes, or creating a new organization excluding Russia, risking a split of nations into two camps.
