Rights & Freedoms. In waging its propaganda battles, the Arab-Asian bloc sets great legal store by Article 55 in the U.N. Charter, which provides that the U.N. "shall promote observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion," and on Article 56, in which "all members pledge themselves" to cooperate with the U.N. to achieve these purposes. But, said South Africa's Du Plessis, the very committee which drew up these provisions stipulated in the records that Article 55 gives the U.N. no right to interfere in domestic affairs...
...declares ward on "the Liberals, who run this country." Of the 120 backers who put up $290,000 to launch National Review according to Buckley, nobody, "not even myself," owns more than 5% of the magazine's stock. The first issue (30 pages) has gone to 10,000 charter subscribers, plus 30,000 who got promotional copies. Buckley's goal: 100,000 readers...

President Eisenhower should recognize that disarmament and Charter review go hand in hand...
...gained a considerable backing from world opinion. Now that Russia has refused to cooperate with his July plan, he should swing his support to the U.N. Such a policy could have even better propaganda value. Even though Moscow went on record in the U.N. last week against altering the Charter at any time, the Administration ought to press for a review conference. Instead of championing a vague "prelude" to disarmament it could then deal with the question directly...
