position to the.veto. The 40-odd smaller nations represented there were virtually unanimous against it as were some of the Big Five. But wher I mentioned this to one of the top level delegates I was told that it was a case either of giving Russia the veto and having a UNO, or of no veto, no Russia and no UNO. . Shree then, any change in the Russian «attitude has been one of additional coolness toward the organization rather than of warmth. Her suspicion that it might lead to a “coalition” against her seems to have increased rather than diminished. Thus she is expected to cling to the veto by which device she will be able to prevent any major move which she does not like.

Question of Survival So the big question today is not whether the UNO can be transferred into a more democratic, “world legislature,” but whether it will survive at all. Russia holds the key -and is keenly aware of it. She knows the United States and. Great Britain, like most members, attach the utmost importance to the UNO’s survival and are prepared to make almost any sacrifice to that end. Thus far she has garnered one diplomatic success after another by Jointly hinting.that she might walk out if not” given what she asked. The coming meetings of the new League of Nations are likely to revolve around her in much the same way. Not only is Russia expected to insist rigidly on her right of veto, but there are indications that she does not take any too kindly to President Truman's reluctance to further Big Three meetings and his preference for. turning world problems over to the United Nations, : Allergic to Crowds Professing democracy, she nevertheless is allergic to crowds. It irks her to stand up in a world assembly of more or less free nations and find herself quite often in a minority of one. Her most resounding victories it is recalled, came at Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam when thé Big Three met in secret and the British prime

minister and the American Presi-|

dent gave the Soviet, generalissimo his way lest he quit the team. The London conference of foreign ministers collapsed largely over this same fundamental. Here, then, is a situation which the UNO must face in the not too distant future. .‘The problem is whether all 51 of its members (1) will be dominated by the Big Three ~or even by the Big One; or, (2) insist on a more democratic ‘organzation and take rather frightening
