Be cause of this, the symbols have a deep significance for Lithuanians in the free world. "Its true significance," Alminas said, "lies in the faith that the Communist conspiracy like the to talitarian governments preceeding it cannot survive and that some time the day again wiU be cele brated in .its full significance."

The Outside World US 'Alert By DICK Staff Writer Secretary of State John Foster Dulles bas warned Red China that the United States will be -"alert" to defend Quemoy and Matsu Islands if the Communists try to use them for an invasion of Formosa. If what was caUed a major policy address, Dulles said the United States was not interested in the islands 'as such", however, and he appealled to Peiping to solve the Formosa crisis peacefuny. Secretary Dulles made three other main points in bis address to the Foreign Policy Association of New York. He rejected the idea that Nationalist China voluntarily surrender the offshore islands, a proposal favored by some British officials. He said ""it is doubtful that this would serve either peace or freedom." DuUes also advanced the opinion that the upheaval in Moscow which gave the premiership to Nikolai Bulganin was ""an elemental personal struggle for power." But he added that it may also reflect a "basic policy difference" between the Russian Communist Party and the Soviet Government. Fear among Asian people that the United States bas no real intention of supporting them in opposition to communism "'has mounted to the danger point," he claimed.

He is chief of a section in the Department of Po litical Security Council Affairs, In a Nebraskan interview Thurs day, be said that even if the veto power of the Security Council was abolished, the divided decisions of the Council could not be enforced. "The veto is something that ex ists as a political fact in the world," the former university lec turer and tutor stated. Even though this fact were to be abol ished, the unanimous decisions of the Security Council would stfll make this fact remain." Dr. Jordan explained it would be ""unrealistic" to abolish the veto power of the Council Actions by nations depend on the political forces of the time, not on decisions of the Security Coun cil the London4)orn author said. Americans tend to misconceive the principle of the veto because they compare the Security Council with the Congress, Dr, Jordan said. When Congress and the Pres ident approve a law, it is enforced. The Security Council bas no power to back up its decisions, Dr. Jor dan commented. It was "an accident"" that inter national relations became his pres ent field, Dr. Jordan remarked.
