PEACE PARLEY WORK SP SPEEDED

Truman Mors 1 » Attend Closing Session.

By R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Jine 16.— President Truman is planning to be here next Saturday to adjourn the United Nations conference, but the prospects were none too good -today that the charter bill will be completed by then.

A stiff week-end committee sched-|’

ule may break the remaining bottlenecks. But only seven of the 12

(Editorial, Page 6; Comment by William Philip Simms, Page 1.)

technical committees have completed their work, even though last midnight was the goal originally set. The major trouble lies in one committee—the one on membership, amendment and the secretariat.

It is ther® that Australia and New |.

Zealand are stagihg a last ditch fight to eliminate the Big Five veto over future amendments to the charter. But they already have been abandoned by many nations who helped them in their unsuccesful fight against the veto for the Big Five in the security. council.

Meet Again Today The Bigz Four—the sponsoring powers—meet for the second time in two days today to continue work on their speed-up plans. They have pledged themselves to leave no stone unturned to complete the charter by next Saturday. On the basis of that pledge the | U. 8. delegation announced last | night that tentative arrangements have been madé for President Truman to arrive here next Friday and to address the final session of the conference late next Saturday afternoon. . Evidence of the speed-up was today's schedule which includes nine technical committee meetings, two meetings of the co-ordinating committee and a meeting of the advisory jurists committee—the largest Saturday schedule of the conference.

the Pan-Arab league, with headquarters in Cairo. Members are Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, TransJordan, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. They have a total area of over a million square miles with a popu{lation total of 33 millions.

Saudi Arabia Important

Egypt, Iraq and Trans-Jordan to a certain extent are subject to British influence. Syria and Lebanon are involved in a conflict with France. Yemen is a sovereign state but is small and geographically re-| mote from the major centers of] Arab life. Saudi ‘Arabia, however, is an important political and -economic unit and enjoys unrestricted sovereignty. Besides, its colorful ruler, King| Abd El Aziz Ibn Saud, derives tre-| mendous prestige in the Arab world | from his domination of Mecca and Medina, Islam's holy cities. The Arab league demands political independence for its members and industria}ization of their lands. One of the principal reasons for the. poverty and the bitterness that prevail in the huge Arab region .is

dustries, Arab Ingenuity Native industries would interfere {with the monopolistic exploitation of the native market by industrialized colonial powers. If we assist the Arabs in building up native industries they could raise their living standard. This [Arab] promote contentment in the Ara

world. Besides, the Arabs would probably surprise the west by {heir ingenuity. Centuries ago (the Arabs were the teachers of the west in many fields of agricuiture, science and industry. | The Arabs first learned how to |navigate by the stars. They in- | vented the mariner’s conipass, prac- | tically created trigonometry and gave us the nucleus of our knowl|edge of medicine, surgery, chemistry, physic, algebra, astronomy. Before the present war, American (contact with the Arab world was {more or less casual. But the recently started exploitation of Saudi Arabia's fuge oil reserves by United States capital has created close and

fca and the Arab world. Morally, the U. 8. A. enjoys unique prestige among the Arabs, who regard us as the only western power free from the taint of imperialism. If used wisely, this eco-

Arab tongue and civilization formed !

the persistent effort of Europe's! # colonial powers to prevent the Arab | § | countries from creating modern in-| 3

permanent relations between Amer-|.

another war which otherwise might flare up inside the Arab world. To appreciate the significance of America’s role in this region we must realize that most of the countries which form the Arab league |are astride either Britain's road to India or Russia's access to Africa and western Asia. This is certain

rivalry between Britain and Russia in those territories. The Pan-Arab league is almost sure to set up some kind of “Arab Monroe doctrine” aimed at protecting its members from foreign pres- | sure. Hence the area around Suez inevitably will become the scene of a three-cornered tug-of-war between Britain, Russia and the! Arabs.
