PRAGUE COUP
/ Debate Not Likely to be Decisive LONDON, March 19. Emphasising llial Uie Security Council’s debate on Czechoslovakia next week is hardly likely to be either decisive or instructive “The Times,” in a leading article, says that the*free people of the world have already learned the lesson of the Prague coup which •stripped away the last illusions about the Communists and their tactics, and it is hard to see what the Security Council can add to the story of information. With its limited function the Council is not fitted to deal either with the wider clash of ideologies or with the deeper threat to the Western heritage while that threat is not expressed in terms of open force. The Western answer comes far more resolutely and far more effectively as the nations unite to build up their political and economic stability and to defend themselves and their institutions against all forms of attack.
