U.N. Succor To
Help Tibetans
By TOM HOGE
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., (R) -
The United Nations this week indirectly condemned Red China for violating the basic rights of Tibetans but the U. S.-backed move lacked important support from nearly one-third of the 82-nation General Assembly.
The Assembly voted 45-9 to approve an Irish-Malayan resolution urging respect for the fundamental rights of the Tibetan people to determine their own way of life.
Twenty-six nations abstained from the balloting, including Great Britain, France and Belgium. The three U. S. allies voiced strong sympathy for Tibet's plight but they insisted Tibet is part of Red China, and that the U.N. has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of nations.
The Peiping regime made clear in advance that it will disregard the resolution. "We will carry on the revolution in Tibet to the end, no matter how madly the imperialists howl," declared the Panchen Lama, the Communist-appointed ruler of Tibet, in a speech in the Chinese capitol Wednesday.
Only the Soviet bloc voted against the mildly worded resolution.
