RUSSIAN WALK-OUTS
United Nations Meetings “ Transient Disillusionment ” N ZP A—Copyright Rec. 8.50 p.m. SINGAPORE, May 17. Russian walk-outs from United Nations meetings did not mean the failure of the United Nations, said General Carlos Romulo, president of the General Assembly. He added that he hoped the Russians would continue to work with other nations in the United Nations. “The Secretary-general, Mr Trygve Lie, is carrying on a peace crusade with the hope that all the temporary setbacks could be solved in our attempt to build one world. These are all birthpangs of the United Nations,” he said. “The United Nations is only five years old and there are 59 nations in it. Do not expect us to come to agreement -overnight. It took the 13 colonies in America a much longer, time and a civil war to come together. Give us time. The United Nations can always look back on its work with pride and face its future unafraid in spite of transient disillusionments.”
