Politics, whether of the precinct or interna
tional variety, really do make strange bedfellows
It has not been many years since we found K
expedient to ally ourselves with Soviet Russia
in a war on the Axis. Seven years after the
cessation of these hostilities the line-up of na
tions has been completely altered.
While Russia now looms as the probable
enemy, Germany and Japan have become val
uable editions to our defense system.
The fight between Russia and the U.S. il
lustrates the uniqueness of our "elastic" Western
point of view. We claim to be opposed to Com
munism, yet we aid Tito's Yugoslavia, which is
certainly a Communist stale. We claim to be
fighting totalitarianism, but many of our fellow
UN members, are anything but democracies. Eight
of the 19 South American states have authori
tarian governments of one kind and another. It
Is not surprising that other countries wonder just
what we have in mind.
The most recent puzzler to confront the small
nations of the UN was the decision by the U.S.
not to support a demand by Tunisian natives that
their French colonial government be investigated.
Undoubtedly this decision by our slate department
will have repercussions throughout the Middle and
Far East.
For years the U.S. stood as a champion of the
world's "little" peoples In general and of young
republics In particular. American policy has
generally favored the underdog, encouraged the
right of criticism and supported the principle of
self-determination. Despite vocal protestations
by the Communists, America may still be looked
upon as the home of freedom.
Such a statement becomes a mockery, however,
if not supported by suitable action. In recent
months we have lost much prestige through inci
dents like the recent Tunisian question at the UN.
The question concerned the three million Arabs
of Tunisia who want more self-government from
their French overlords. The French have not been
particularly anxious to give the natives more free
dom. Going over the heads of the French colonials, a
deputation of Arabs went to the General Assembly
meeting in Paris last winter. They were given
no satisfaction.
By last week the Arabs had gained the sup
port of 11 member nations from the Middle and
Far East. Pakistan's Ahmed S. Bokharl spoke
for all when he urged the Security Council to
look into the matter.
Remembering the long standing U.S. policy

HANDS
U.S. stand.
Obviously embarrassed, Gross said, "I have
been instructed to abstain." With this abstention
the Arabs hopes went down the drain. Britain
and France voted "no." The USSR, never miss
ing a propaganda bet, voted in favor of discussing
the problem.
As always there are reasons and extenuating
circumstances which may be used to rationalize
any diplomatic decision. The state department
was caught in a vice. On one side stood our al
lies the British and French with vast colonial hold
ings. On the other side stood the more unfortunate
people of the world whom we are trying to win
to the democratic fold.
The state department apparently felt that the
necessity of protecting American air bases in
French North Africa was more important than
retaining the friendship or respect of a few mil
lion natives.
This writer feels that the reversal of traditional
American policy represents one of the gravest mis
takes recently committed by the U.S. Of course
it is always easy to jump to conclusions on in
sufficient information. The department of state
no doubt is in possession of conclusive evidence
of some sort or such a decision would not have
been made.
It would seem, however, that it will be im
possible to satisfactorily explain to the millions of
u.. iof ho hoard in the UN natives of Asia. Africa and the Middle East why
even if it were completely ridiculous or an at- we were unwilling to discuss the matter. I
tack on the U.S. itself, the delegates eagerly wouldn't want to be in Tunis tonight.
