Conference
To Consider
4 Problems
Finir international nroblems
will be brought before the model
United Nations general assembly
next March, Delegates win De
called upon to consider the ques
tions of a police force increased
in power and in size, aid to In
donesia, a proposal by Russia to
abolish UNESCO and making
South West Africa a trust terri
tory. These problems will fall into
the hands of four committees:
Political and security; economic
and finance; social, humanitarian
and cultural; trusteeship. Each
nation represented at the confer
ence will have a delegate on
each committee.
The agenda was announced by
Sue Allen, chairman of NUCWA's
department of UNESCO, at a
innetinr nf house delecates the
last night before vacation. The
problems, still subject to revi
sion, were formulated by agenda
prniins wnrkim? under members
of the conference steering com
mittee. Miss Alien is neaa oi xne
committee. Other members in
clude Irene Hunter, Jerry Young,
Ruth Sorenson, Walter Willi and
Susan Reed.
Conference Set-Up.
The steering rnmmittee also
revealed tentative plans for the
actual set-up of the model con
ference. A plenary session Thurs
day night, March 16, will open
tne mocK assemwy. speaKers
have not been disclosed. First
session business will include
seating of delegates, presentation
of resolutions and assigning reso
lutions to the various committees.
Friday and Saturday after
noons the committees will discuss
the four issues. The following
Tuesday evening, March 21, will
also be open if further discus
sion is necessary.
A plenary session of all dele
gates will occupy the rest of the
conference, March 22-24. Addi
tional speakers will be heard at
that time and the committees will
make their reports.
More specifically, in handling
the nnliee force nroblcm. the
nnliticnl and security committee
may encounter such issues as:
(1) Should the security coun
cil have control over the force?
(2) What should be the size
and equipment of the force?
(3) What departments snouia
it have?
(4) What shall be the duties of
the force?
Indonesian Issues.
The economic and financial
committee will consider instruct
ing the economic commission lor
Asia and the Far East to offer
the U. N.'s assistance to the
United States of Indonesia. Such
aid would promote: (1) develop
ment of the resources of In
donesia, (2) expansion of trade
relations between Indonesia and
other nations of the region, (3)
continuance ol Indonesian ex
ports of vital materials and (4)
such resettlement of population
as will be most conducive to the
furtherence of the above stated
objectives.
Probable issues which the so
cial, humanitarian and cultural
committee will meet when dis
cussing Russia's proposal to
abolish UNESCO will be: (1)
What is the legitimate area of
work for UNESCO? (2) Has
UNESCO been getting out of this
realm into propaganda? and (3)
Are Russia's charges correct or
justified?
The trusteeship committee, in
the South Africa question, will
run up against such issues as:
