British opposed to extending.UN General Assembly's curity rol o
The US. Representative on the UN Collective
Measures Committee .sees a basic British dis-
agreement with the US policy of extending the
UN General Assembly's responsibilities for
security, under last fall's "uniting for peace" resolutona
The UK representative on the Collective
Measures Committee reportedly stated that Britain never liked the resolution,
and was pushed into it only by US insistence. The UK objects,_ he said, to the
fundamental American concept that the UN should have at its disposal the
means for maintaining peace, pending the conclusion of agreements between
member countries and the Security Council under Article 43 of the Charter.
The resolution provides for the prior designation of national military contin-
gents for use by the UN in emergencies He expressed the view that so long
as the Security Council is unable to function, there should be no further
efforts to make the UN effective as a collective security agency.

7e High Commissioners favor rebuke to Germans for recalcitrant attitude.'
The three Western High Commissioners in
Germany are concerned. over the manner in
which Vice-.Chancellor Bluecher, opposition
leader Schumacher and other German officials
are whipping up German public opinion against the fulfillment of German
obligations to the European community.
The Commissioners are agreed that imme-
diatr consideration must be given to the issuance of a high-level announce-
ment stating that the establishment of a new relationship between the Allies
and the Germans is not a foregone conclusion, but rather is dependent
upon the manaver in which Germany assumes and discharges its obligations.
Unless the present trend is checked, US High Commissioner McCloy sees
no possibility of concluding contractual arrangements to replace the occu-
pation regime.
Comment: The Germans have lately given
vent to strong resentment against Allie decisions, particularly those re-
jecting a reduction of Germany's coal export quota and insistipg on full pay-
meat of occupation costs. Bluecher threatened to resign as representative
to the Ruhr Authority where he was defeated on the coal issue, and even
the conservative press has been talking in terms of the "disastrous" Allied
policies, the "high political tension" in Bonn, and the probability of an
internal German political and ecOnomie crisis.
