IMPORTANCE OF SMALLER NATIONS NEW YORK, October 1.
In a leading article, the "New York Times" says that as important as the Allied agreement on the Far Eastern Commission itself is the fact that it will include not only the big Powers but also the smaller nations who are vitally interested in Far Eastern settlements. Among them are Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the Philippines, and presumably India. It had been an anomaly of this war, fought in the name of democracy, that all the decisions had been placed more and more in the hands of the few big Powers, to the subordination of all the rest. While such a procedure was inevitable during the war, there was no excuse for it after the war was finished unless the big Powers were prepared to repudiate all their previous professions. The extension of the Commission to the smaller States was therefore a victory for international democracy and also for the principle on which alone the United Nations can live and function.
