T1Tnternat:icnai -Week
An agreement between Nehru and L.-aqua, All Khan on minor!-
-Lies represented an important step toward a detente between
India and Pakistan. leanwhile the US threatened to cut ECA aid
to Greece and Korea unless these recipients put their houses in
order.
Results of sixth TC session. A.Lthough the principal accom.y
plishirents of the recent Trusteeship Council session were the
preparation of a trusteeship agreemeen for former Italian Somali
land and a statute for internationalizing Jerusalem, the Council
Sound time to dispose cf a number of less prominent items:, Dur-
ing its eleven-week session it drew up reports for the GA on
Tanganyika, Ruanda-Urundi., and the 'reach and British Cameroons,
based on the annual reports ci' the three administering powers.
Except for very sharp Philippine criticism of the UK, debate waf
temperate and, indeed, the administering powers received a large
measure of commendation for steps tL.ken to advance the develop-
ment of their territories,. The Council postponed discussion of
French and British TotUol.nd pending formulation of Franco-British
proposals on the Ewe tribe problem. Action on administrative
unions was also postponed pending come.Lt?cee study, while a seem-
ingly innocuous request to fly the UN flag over trust territories
was defeated on a 5--5 vote. Bitterly opposed by all administer,
ing powers except the US, the :rLa resolution had been adopted,
0-5, by last fall's GA.
Early in the session the Council rt pidly drew up and adopted
a trusteeship agreement for former ita.lian Sorr:aliland. Although
the agreement will not officially enter Into force until approved
by the GA next fell, Italy quietly took over provisional adminis-
tration from the British on I_ April The Jerusalem statute pre-
sented a pore complex problem. Persistently needled by Jarrali of
raa the Council early rejected TC President Garresuti s plan fo
limiting international supervision to a restricted area and pro-
needed to draft a statute providing for full internationalization
as called for by the GA. however, Jamali. failed to get the TC to
provide an enforcement date for tree statute, which Garreau hopes
to present to Jordan and Israel a c iihodes nex`, weed:. Of course
these countries are expected to 3 wjec the statute in which case q
after reconsideration in the , igtc of Jordan and Israel comment y,
the TC will undoubtedly refer the n.at c.er back to Ili GA for fur,'

German and Chinese rskresentat on p?se problem for ILO.
The International Labor Organization., faced during coming weeks
with the difficult cuestion of German and Chinese representation
at its 1950 conference., must decide: (a) whether to invite both
East and West German. renresenta?rives; and (b) whether to invite
Chinese Communist participation,
Although the 1949 ILO Conference agreed to associate German
representatives with the Organization in all activities of interest
to Germany, only the Bonn. government actually sent representatives
last year,, Director General Morse interprets the 1949 decision as
authorizing relationships with all of Germany and believes he may
be obligated to invite the Fast Germans. A recent Czech inquiry
concerning arrangements for East German participation this year
suggests the possibility of such participation. The USSR, which
is promoting recognition of the German Democratic Republic, may
see in the ILO conference an opportunity for extending such re,cog-
nition.
The chances of Chinese Communist participation in the ILC
conference are at nresent remote. The Chinese Nationalist Govern-
ment, nominally still an ILO member, has not sent representatives
to any recent ILO meetings and is unlikely to do so now in view of
transportation costs and its nrobabiy desire to avoid drawing
attention to its unsaid dues-. Such arrears right prejudice any
attempt to press the Nationalise credentials. If the Chinese
Nationalists are absents, their membership in the ILO would pro-
bably go unquestioned. So far, Communist China has shown no in-
terest in the ILO and would probably be disinclined to subsidize
the long trip to Geneva for the empty privilege of participating
in the work of a UN organization whose aid it is not likely tc re-
quest.
Kashmir ReDresentative to be named` The Security Council
Is a .oected to approve the appointment of Sir Owen Dixon (Australia)
as N mediator in Kashmir this week. i3ixon, Justice of the
Australian High Court .si_nce 1929, has long served in many official
posts including that of Australian Minister to the US in 1942-44,
and is considered eminently cua..ified. Notification of Dixon s
co,isideration by the SC was sent .to Liaquat All Khan and Nehru dur-
ing their meeting in New Delhi, The SC believes that, so long as
-the parties have no olaj ctions to Dixon serious enough to inch t:e
either to reject him as mediator,, it Is unnecessary to obtain
their formal or informa:.L acceptance
Dixon's legal background skioun.a make him acceptable to India,
However, Pakistan has consisten ,.iy Favored a military man., and c
as t ereforebeen suggested that, a wilitary aide to Dixon will.

CONEENTIAL
Eritrean partitloti with ,. usteesnZ Suggested. A new
thought on partitioning Eritrea gas been furnished by the South
African representative on the UN Commission of Inauiry (UNCCNINQ )
and by a UK Foreign Jffice off i c'ial . This idea calls for
Ethiopian trusteeship over all Eritrea except the western province,
possibly for a decade during which the UN Trusteeship Council
right crake periodic iinvestigativr s to determine Ethicpials fitness
to rule permanently the area entrusted to here While it is clear
that a majority on UNCCb3INQ now favor partition, the reaction to
the new suggestion cannot as yet be measured. Curiously enough,
it Is not altogether unlikely that the western province will also
be placed under trusteehip, possibly British, as r.eouested by the
Moslem League of that province Following close on the heels of
Italy's assumption of pr.ovisioon administration of former Italian

Security Council representative, with the efforts of DN Se.raretury-
General Lie to resolve the imps: se over Chinese representation
right conceivably be manifestedi by his vetoing Lie's possible
appointment for a second term. Though this possibility cannot be
entirely overlooked, assumir:g U e ccntinued seating of Nationalist
China in the UP, it is doubtful whether Tsiang would dare to dis-
rupt the organization In this .,ginner, especially In view of his
own precarious position. In spite e.f the continuing Soviet
boycott, Lie may be the only ca didete on whore the USSR and the
West might ultimately be able t agree, looking ahead to renewed
Soviet participation In UN activities.
