U.N. Cited 'as Center Of World De ate t·J~~ The Cnited Nations has become a convenient l'enter for carry 1ng on world diplomacy at minimum cost. according to former diplomat Michael Newman. Speaking to the International Relations Club of the University of San Diego recently, Newman said that most of the newer

countries found it cheap and Pasy to establish a mission accredited to the U,N. where they could meet with repre- sentatives of almost every other nation in the world. :-iewman is director of de• ,elopment and public rela lions at the University of San Diego. 'Now, instead of having to establish diplomatic and con sular office in the 150 coun tries around the world, a mim diplomatic mission at the U.N. l'an provide many useful con tacts, particularly for the smaller countries," said New .nan. A former delegate to the wman was attached to the British Embassy in Washington and New York. ''For a bout $40.000 these small nations have all the pri \ 1leges of membership of the 'International Club' which we call l .N This is about one hundredth part of what the t·n,ted States pays for the same membership," he said N(•wman said he often feared many diplomatic n• port from forci~n posts to

their home countries were misleading. "They are made by foreign service officers who can err very badly in interpreting local events," he said "Some officials pro, vide reports which tend to f1atter their own position ir stead of being accurate su111, maries of the undercurrents of local opinion. which are very difficult for a foreigner to assess " );cwman felt that many of the eh•nts during the past 12 years in .\fnca had been mis read and misreported back to the great powers by their diplomatic missions. "People were reporti ng what they wanted to see instead of what was happening, Otlen they ju,t didn't know. How can we read the minds and inten lions of foreigners! "I ha,·,, certainly learned more about the American peo- ple in the pust three years hy living as an American than I ever learned as a diplomat in Washrn~ton in the previou- · two years." '
