SOVIET’S STAND ON VETO
Reiterated to U.N.O. (Rec. 9 20). NEW YORK. Nov. 18. Jour hours after the Big Five began a conference to evolve a policv governing the use of the veto in the Security Council, M. Gromyko (Soviet) 'told the General Assembly’s Political Committee: “The Soviet delegation are opposed to any attempt to' revise the United Nations Charter. A weakening of the Charter, either through revision, or other means, would be harmful and even fatal to the United Nations Organisation’s activities'. Therefore the Soviet delegation are opposed to the draft resoln tions proposed by the Argentine, Australia, Cuba, Peru, and the Phillippines”. M. Gromyko also opposed a French proposal that the discussion be postponed in committee for two or three days while the Big Five discussed the small nations’ objections' to the abuse of the veto. The French proposal, however, was approved by 38 votes to 6.
