Small Nations Can Help Solve
WorldProblems,TubmanSays
By ALICE A. DUNNIGAN
For the Assoc la ted Nesra Press
WASHINGTON—President V. 8. Tubman, last week, stressed
« the importance of including smaller nations in the discussions
on international problems and of recognising their aspirations
for freedom and equal justice. _
These thoughts were advanced at a luncheon given in his
honor at the Carlton hotel, Tuesday, by the joint White House
press, radio and TV association.
Ill addressing the approximately |
200 r?i>ort<'rs ami newscasters, the
I.ilierian president said:
We believe one o£ the fundainen

but poslilve. emergence everywhere

developed peoples of the esrth and
c»f tlieir unremitting demand of
«innl Justice, national indepeiideuee
find opportunity to m-hieve their own
economic security.
"These n'testlulls the Big Powers
fseeiu to feel are only theirs for solu-
tion. I seem to hold a different
tien If the smaller nations that are
in the majority were given an op-
portunity to express themselves they
(night lie able to advance some sug-
gestions that may be helpful."
President Tubman claimed that
♦hey were not directly plagued by
1lie menace of traducing isms and
Ideologies in his country, and they
Jiave "endeavored by just, fair and
pi|iiil:ible administration to im|>ede
the termination of such isms and
ideologies."
True to tradition, he continued,
"we lire ever ready and prepared in
the t'nited Nations and through
ether collective security measure*,
not only to stand by, or with, but
to come to the defense of the demo-
cratic way of life."
The press luncheon was one of
the high lights of the president's
nctivities on the second day ol bis
