N. “The delegates of nineteen’ Asian and Affiean nations met recently in closed ses- sions at New Delhi, India, upon the invi- tatwh cof Prime Minister Nehru, of India. ‘se We call attention to the countries rep- reggntéd at the conference: Afghanistan; Aasfrdlia, Burma, Ceylon,. China, Ethio- piagJuidia, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Nepal, N@wealand, Egypt, Pakistan, the Philip- pines, Syria, Saudi Arahia, Siam and Ye- men, The purpose of the conference was to dedtaince,the action of The Netherlands Gévernment if the*richy ‘East Indian col- iiés {nd to request the United Nations Secyyity Council to take action to order therDutch to transfer all soverignty to the United States of Indonesia by 1950. With one or two exceptions, none of thes countries represented at the confer- ence possesses any military power. All of,them together, in all probability, can- nat_.muster sufficient strength to force the Dutch from the East Indies; Never- theless, all of them acting in concert ap- pealed to the conscience and sense of eof the Western nations. This is plaifv because, in essence, it will be the Western nations which must exert pres- relpon the Dutch, if pressure is neces- “to solve the problems of the Indies. Of course, ifthe United States and otHé@r Western powers decline to fall in line with the resolutions of the “confer- ene,” the delegates will not hesitate to deriounce the Western nations as outlaws. They may, in their anger, turn towards Soviet’Russia. This would be a display of ignorance and blind faith, almost without equal in the history of mankind, but peo- ples@nd nations do peculiar things un- der the stress of emotions. » Kis interesting to note that the con- ference disagreed with the proposal of Moslem countries that they set up a per- manent organization to act on any ques- tlo¥i; Such as Palestine. This was oppos- ed by India, Australia and other countries répresented, which expressed the belief that the conference should confine itself to.the plight of the Republic of Indonesia and the effort to force the Dutch to get out of the area. When one looks over the list of coun- ie presented, it is seen that, with the on of Australia, New Zealand and, sibly,,the Philippines, the people of €@ various countries have nothing that is parable to democracy as the people of is’ country understand the term. It uld appear logical to ask the delegates, fi the nations concerned, to take proper ps to inaugurate something like demo- tic self-government at home before as- ling the United Nations with vexatious moblems.

His committee has’ prepared to conduct a,determined fight in. the 81st congress against the supposed budgetary requirements of the govern- ment’s multiplicity of bureaus. What is going on in Washington, in skyrocketing taxes, is also in effect else- where in the country. Cities, counties and states in all parts of the United States, with a shining exception here and there, are pre- paring higher taxation for the coming fiscal year. Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York state, in an address before the Chamber of Commerce in'Albany, told his listeners that the budget in New York state will be the highest in the, piston of that commonwealth. He explained that demands on the state treasury continue ‘to ‘increase, and the only way they can be met. is to raise taxes. That is the rule in other states, and will continue to be the -rule until legisla- tures manifest a determination and ad- here to it to cut down the demands that send taxation skyrocketing.
