THE YALTA COMPROMISE

Siu,—I notice that Mr. Frank Walters in your last issue desires more information regarding the right of veto proposed for the Great Powers at the Council of the World Security Organisation. I may mention that this right includes a power of veto over any amendment of the Charter of the Organisation, so that the right once given is not likely easily to be modified; also that it extends to the admission of new members to the Organisation inasmuch as the Assembly may only add to its numbers on the recommendation of the Council. The admission of any State might therefore be indefinitely barred if it had incurred the displeasure of a Great Power.—I am, yours truly,

KATHARINE Anton..
