RULE IN TRUST TERRITORIES
“U.N. ATTEMPTING TO INTERFERE ”
CRITICISM BY BRITISH DELEGATE
(Rec. 8 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 23. “The British Government is becoming seriously concerned at recent attempts by the United Nations to interfere in the administration of non-self-governing territories,” said Mr John Fletcher Cooke, a British delegate to the United Nations, to-day. A tendency was growing in the United Nations that was extremely disturbing, he said. Under the terms cf the United Nations Charter an administering authority had no obligations to the United Nations beyond that of supplying statistical information. The Trusteeship “Council’s spec* ial committee, instead of limiting itself to that obligation, was- attempting to tell administering authorities what they should do in the territories concerned.
He said that the British Government reserved the right to administer the tarritories as it saw fit. while within the framework of the Charter.
