His speech today, he aaid. dealt Urgely with the UN itself and his concern with its future.

He was' aghast at the possibility that for want of "only a few million dollars." the UNlp might be beginning to shut By year's end. it Vould be 1140,000,000 in th. red because of the refusal of the Soviet and some others to pony up for certain UN operations, including tha policing of the peac in the Congo. He found it. "fantastic, unthinkable" that simply for financial reasons "the UN might be allowed to collapse." A BAGATELLE' Those millions of dollars the Prime Minister considered "a bagatelle," not of course, he quickly added, in the accounting of any one "but certainly in terms of the world community." Canada would stick and string along in the Congo, even if it meant putting up more than her fair share of the price of peace there.

Did he think perhaps that the UN was getting a little out of balance with so many small states now members, all-having an equal voting voice with the United tha Soviet, Britain and the other great powers? Well, not really. Perhaps it might seem little odd that the African state of Chad could match vote with the U.S. NOBODY WORRIED But then, the Prime Minister recalled, six year, ago when Luxembourg and a few other tiny nations were in th. sam.
