TESTING GROUND FOR UNITED NATIONS
CZECHOSLOVAKIA AND PALESTINE
VANCOUVER, March 27. Mr J ames Thorn, New Zealand High Commissioner to Canada, in an interview here, said that Palestine and Czechoslovakia will prove testing grounds for the United Nations, which faces destruction unless given the military power to back up its rulings. Mr Thorn said that the use of the veto was indefensible from the democratic point of view, but Russia will not withdraw from the United Nations so long as she can use it as a forum to present her views to the world.
Mr Thorn is making a nation-wide goodwill trip with Mrs Thorn.
