Howe, visiting Beijing as part of a British human rights dele- gation, said China sooner or later would realise it had to negotiate. "It is very important to recognise, quite simply, the need for China to address itself to these issues with the view to finding a common solution," the former foreign secretary told a news conference. He dismissed recent Chinese attacks on Hong Kong Goveror Chris Patten's plans for democratic reform as "oversimplified de- nunciations and rejections." "I don't think that will be the long-run position," he said. "These situations do not endure indefinitely without some for- ward movement." Howe was London's chief negotiator for the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, under which China pledged to respect Hong Kong's capitalist way of life for 50 years after taking control of the territory in 1977. China's Sharp Threats Infuriated by Patten's reform plans, China has let loose a se- ries of sharp threats about its policy toward Hong Kong, on Thur- sday going so far as to say it questioned the continued applicabi- lity of the joint declaration itself. Howe said the Hong Kong issue had not come up once during his formal talks with Chinese officials including Communist Party General Secretary Jiang Zemin. He said he had a private meal with Vice Premier Wu Xueqian, his opposite number during the 1984 Sino-British talks on Hong Kong, but declined to reveal what was discussed. He voiced strong backing for Patten and his reform plans, and said greater democratisation for Hong Kong was part of the origi- nal agreement on the 1997 handover. "Britain's interests in the matter are concerned solely with the future well-being of Hong Kong," Howe said. World Wide Agenda "Hong Kong and democratisation are a worldwide agenda item," he said. "It is part of the common ground between China and the United Kingdom on Hong Kong that it should be (run) on a progressively more democratic basis. "This should be a matter for sensible discussion by both sides." Howe said the acrimonious dispute over Hong Kong had not affected his group's efforts to get more information about human rights in China, part of what he called a continuing dialogue with Western countries about the human rights issue. He said the Chinese officials he met seemed seriously interes- ted in exploring differences, and that Western efforts to press Beijing on human rights were resulting in a greater exchange of information. "It's part of sustaining pressure that is happily accepted, so to speak, Howe said. "Both sides visualise this dialogue as continuing." The British delegation will leave on Friday for Shanghai, where they are scheduled to meet officials as well as visit a prison and one of China's labour reform camps. (Rtr). Bill Clinton His Youth Attracks Japanese YOUTHFUL U.S. president-elect Bill Clinton has caught the fancy of one of every two Japanese, according to a newspaper poll published on Friday. At the same time, his defeat of President George Bush last month has left the majority - 60 per cent 2,300 respondents -- worried that Japan will be the target of tougher trade policies, said the national daily Yomiuri Shimbun. Over 51 per cent of those surveyed last weekend said they liked or had an extremely favourable impression of Clinton, who will become the first Democratic president in 12 years when he assu- mes office on January 20. Thirty-three per cent said they were not impressed with the president-elect. Among his Japanese fans, Clinton was best liked for his age-- 46 (44.4 per cent) -- and his potential to accomplish something new (22.1 per cent), said Yomiuri. A total 60.4 per cent said they were concerned that the new U.S. administration will introduce tougher trade legislation against Japan. About one in four -- 26.4 per cent -- said they did not expect any radical change. While reports in recent weeks have indicated that the sluggish U.S. economy may finally be on the road to recovery, Clinton's aides have said that they intend to focus on stimulating economic growth. With Japan's trade surplus on the rise, many here are expec- ting Clinton to turn his attention to Washington-Tokyo trade policies and ciritcism that Japan has not done enough to open its markets to imports. Japan's trade surplus with the United States rose to $43.44 billion in calendar 1991 from $41.87 billion in 1990. Economists say it is likely to hit &45 billion this year. (Reuter).

Approves U.S.-led Force To Aid Starving Somalia United Nations- All 15 members of the Security Council on Thursday endorsed a full-scale military opera- tion led by the United States to ensure aid meant for millions of starving Somalis is not looted by rampaging gangs. "I believe it was an historical re- solution, it was a very important resolution," Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali said after the council meeting. "It will reinforce the new role of the United Nations and will help the Somali people," he said. "For the first time you have an in- tervention in favour of humani- tarian aid. It will have a moral value." Unlike normal U.N. peace- keeping operations, including a small one already in Somalia, the new force is empowered to use force backed by the full authority of the U.N. Charter. The unanimous council vote came only hours after an amphi- bious task force of 1,800 U.S. ma- rines arrived off the coast of So- malia, which has had no functio- ning government since the overthrow of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre neraly two years ago. Thousands more troops from the United States and a number of other countries are expected to follow soon, with the force pos- sibly totalling 20,000 or more. Morocco's U.N. envoy told the council his country would send troops. Other diplomats said France, Italy, Algeria, Egypt and Kuwait had either offered per- sonnel or were about to do so. or wear the U.N.'s traditional blue helmets. But it will be the biggest U.N. authorised operation in Africa since nearly 20,000 U.N. troops helped end intervention and civil war in the Congo in the early 1960s. The council's action over So- malia is bound to provide ammu- nition for a campaign by Islamic countries to enlist U.N. military backing for the beleaguered Mos- lem population of Bosnia- Herzegovina. U.S. ambassador Edward Per- kins told the council: "Our mis- sion (in Somalia) is essentially a peaceful one and we will endorse the use of force only if and when we decide it is necessary to ac- complish our objective." Once deployed U.S. forces "will remain in Somalia no longer than is necessary. We Look forward to the early transition to an effec- tive United Nations peace- keeping force." The White House said Presi- dent George Bush hoped U.S. Troops could be home by the time he hands over power to President-elect Bill Clinton on January 20. More than 300,000 Somalis have died as a result of civil war and famine since the country slipped into anarchy and the Biggest U.N. Authorised council resolution recognises "the unique character of the pre- Operation AU.S. official said the Somalia force would not fly the U.N. flag sent situation." The absence of any sovereign government helped win over China and several Third World council members, normally wary of any intervention, even on hu- manitarian grounds. Clase monitoring Their support was assured when the United States agreed to include in the resolution provi- sions ensuring close monitoring of the operation by the U.N. secretary-general and the Secu- rity Council. A council commission will tra- vel to Somalia while a small U.N. liaison staff is to be attached to the field headquarters of the uni- fied command. This contrast with the situa- tion two years ago when the coun- cil authorised a U.S. led opera- tion to expel invading Iraqi troops from Kuwait but required no further U.N. oversight. The United Nations accepted Washington's offer to organise and lead a substantial military force after its own peace-keeping mission in Somalia, comprising about 500 Pakistani troops and 50 unarmed observers, was re- peatedly attacked by armed bands. Last week one of the factions shelled a relief ship approaching Mogadishu, the capital. Efforts to send in another 3,000 U.N. troops have been stal- led for months due to the refusal of warlords to agree to their de- ployment. (Rtr). Khmer Rouge Frees Six U.N.
