Veto Wrongly Used
NEW YORK, Aug. 24. It was mot the veto that was wrong so much as the use made of it, said the British delegate to the United Nations (Sir Alexander Cadogan) broadcasting on the National Broadcasting Corporation’s foreign policy programme. He said abuse of the veto tended to discredit the Security Council, Nevertheless, it was not likely that the veto power would be deleted from the Charter. The Netherlands delegate (Dr van Kleffens) broadcasting on the same programme, said his country agreed to the veto under strong pressure when told that without the reto there would be no United Nations. He said the veto should be limited to certain specific and well-defined issues.
