CRUCIAL SESSION
United Nations Fifth Assembly GRAVE ASIAN PROBLEMS Rec. 8 p.m. NEW YORK, Sept. 18. The United Nations fifth General Assembly will meet tomorrow for what most diplomats consider will be its crucial session. The political rift between the Soviet Union and the majority of other members, which has been steadily getting worse since the first Assembly in 1946, has brought the organisation to the 'crossroads in its progress. The United Nations has been confronted with two outstanding political problems having a longrange historical significance since the last Assembly in 1949. They are:— First, the emergence of the Com- • munist regime in China. Secondly, the war in Korea. The major political battles between the Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr Andrei Vyshinsky, and promininet Western delegates are expected to revolve around these Issues. Under the shadow of these two grave Asian problems, the Assembly will also have to deal with an enormous agenda. The main controversial questions will be:— ' 1. The future of Eritrea. 2. The internationalisation of Jerusaiem 3. The diplomatic ban on Spain imposed by the Assembly in 1946. 4. The problem of Arab refugees from Palestine, and Israeli and Arab complaints of various kinds. 5. South Africa’s refusal to place South-west Africa under trusteeship.
