The Thailand represen­tative said that although hisGovernment "have always ap­preciated with sympathy yourA,opeal for voluntary cO:Q,tribu­tlons ... it. would hardly he pos­sible for them this time to tryto make any further increasein the voluntary contributiondue to our already heavyfinancial hlll'den brought abo­ut by our national develop­ment and defence efforts."

The Government of Ireland last Friday informed U.N.Secretary-General U Thant, that it would rotate its

500-man Contingent with the D.N. peace-lieelling Force inCyprus - and not, as previously stated, witbdraw it.

Earlier the Irish Govern­men. had decided to withdrawthe Contingent in the absenceof assurances of reimburse­Illent of extra costs incurredby it.

On Wednesday, U Thant tolda press conference at UN Head­quarters in New York that hehad wi.'li· ten to t11'e ForeignMinister of Ireland asldng himto reconsider that decision. expenses

On Easter Sunday morning at Xeros Camp. Headquar~ters of the 5th Irish Intanby Group, the fiftieth anni~

versaty of the Easter Rising of 1916 was remembered.The troops, drawn up in three ranks facing the flag­

pole, stood to attention as the Irish Tricolour was slowlylowered to half-mast to the notes of The Last Post. Aftcrtwo minutes silence, the flag was raised to fUll mastheadto Reveille - signifying the resurrection in the next life.

The youngest oWcer of the Group, twenty-year oldSecond Lieutenant Tom Hicl{ey, then read 'The ProclamH"tion of the Iri'3h Republic', as did P.R. Pe,arse, the Com­mander of the Republican Forces, on the steps of the Gene­ral Post Office in Dublin, on Easter Monduy, fifty years ago.

Thus did the young soldiers of modern Ireland, servingthe United Nations in the cause of peace, honoUl' the me­mory of those who died that their country might live.

SECURITY COUNCIL AUTHORISES BRITAIN TOUSE FORCE IF NECESSARY TO HALT TANKERS

The United Nations Security Council meeting in New Yorkon Saturday night authorised Britain to use force if

necessary to intercept tankers reasonably believed to becarrying oil fOI' Rhodesia in breach of tile embargo called forby the Council last November.

The action was taken on thebasis of a British draft reso­lution approved by ten votesin favour to none against andwith five abstentions. The re­solution also called on Portu­gal not to receive oil destinedfor Rhodesia at Beira in Por­tuguese administered Mozam­bique, nor to permit it to bepumped through the pipelinefrom Beira to Rhodesia, andit called upon all States to en­sure diversion of any of theirvessels reasonably believed tobe carrying oil destined forRhodesia.

'.rhe resolution fm·ther ex­pressed grave concern at'reports that substantial sup­plies of oil might reachRhodesia as the result of onetanlter - Joanna V - havingarrived at Beira and the ap­proach of another one - theMannuclla. The resolution de­clared that such supplies wo­uld bolster the illegal regimeill Rhodesia and that theresulting situation constituteda threat to peace. In additionto calling upon Britain toprevent the arrival of suspecttanlters at Beira, the resolutionempowered that country toarrest and detain J oawla V

. upon her departure fromBeira if her oil cargo wasdischarged there.
