“WORKING OF U.N. FRUSTRATED”
MR ATTLEE CRITICISES RUSSIA (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, November 3. The working of the United Nations, since the San Francisco Conference, had been constantly frustrated bv the Soviet Government and its satellites, said Mr Attlee at a United Nations Association rally to-night. Comparing the United Nations with the League of Nations, Mr Attlee said: “The rise of Fascism brought into the League not just the nondemocratic States, but the anti-demo-cratic States. Japan, Italy, and Germany smashed the League of Nations. The Soviet Government has used the United Nations as an instrument of power politics, and for furthering imperialist aims ” Mr Attlee deplored the passing of the democratic Czechoslovakia built up by President Masaryk. He applauded the emergence into complete self-government of India, Pakistan, and Ceylon. “Thus, though in Eastern Eurone the tide of democracy has temporarily receded, in Asia it is growing,” he added.
