N. Coffin Mr. Rarick, Mr. Speaker, the weekend activity in the United Nations Security Council should offer a disenchanting eye opener to those adherents who somehow believe that the United Nations is an instrument of World peace. Russia, in twice vetoing cease-fire resolutions, has again proven to the world that he does not believe in peace when she or her pawns are winning. Quite noteworthy, her veto of the U. S. middle-of-the-road resolution, which simply called for a ceasefire by both India and Pakistan and a return to their frontiers, is exactly the opposite of the Russian position in the Middle East. The real peacemaker in the U. N.-thwarted action was the United States, who in trying to favor neither side lost both and is now being linked with Pakistan on the strange rationale that we do not support India. The Soviets' siding with India in this aggressive issue should surprise no one since the Soviets always back the side with the largest population and for some reason the minority-conscious media goes out of its way to throw the U. S. support behind the nation with the least number of people. But the big loser was the United Nations, which has become but a debating society for the major Communist parties to harangue over dialectic issues while innocent people are again victimized by the ravages of war. I feel the American people support the President's reported position that as a sovereign nation we do everything in our power, first, to stay out of the war, and second, to employ every diplomatic pressure to stop the conflict. With the United Nations again proving to be a failure, the United States will find that it can accomplish more on its own than could ever be accomplished through the U. N. bureaucracy. India-Pakistan Cease-fire Resolution Mr. Gerald R. Ford. Mr. Speaker, tragically, the fighting between India and Pakistan intensifies while efforts to bring about a cease-fire and a mutual troop pullback are blocked in the United Nations Security Council by the Soviet Union. Mr. Speaker, it is imperative that the United States take the lead in shifting the India- Pakistan cease-fire resolution away from the Security Council and placing it before the General Assembly. Only there can the peace-loving nations of the world work their will.
