Work in the General Assembly was speeded up last week after the closing date was put forward. The principal problem before this session of the United Nations, the control of atomic energy, has not been solved, nor has the gulf between East and West been narrowed. On the other hand, a positive gain can be reported in another important field, colonialism has been dealt a blow from which it will find it hard to recover. Hector McNeil, the British Minister of State, vainly invoked reasons of high policy to block an investigation of conditions among the people living in dependent countries.
