ted Nations are to be invited to o
meeting 10 be held In the United
States before long to consider post
war arrangements.
What we hope for from this meet
Ing Is not 0 complete blueprint Of
the future, but the creation Of some
continuing machinery Of the United
Nations so that requirements Of the
future might be studied. We don't
need plans for dealing with the fu.
ture nearly as much as we need an
organization Of competent people
who are ready TO 60 to work. With
out such an organization even the
best drawn plans will be merely
fled away for reference.
A sound and practical analysis OF
what can and should be done has
Just been completed by the COM
mission to study the organization
Of peace. This Is a group OF public
spirited Americans, many Of them
with years Of technical experience In
international affairs. The chairman
is DR.. James T. Shotwell, one Of
the worlds foremost authorities In
the problems Of collective security,
This group Is tinofiicial but It's re.
port undoubtedly win be thought
fully considered In otncial quarters.
I know Of no better guide for the
thinking Of the laynan.
The most important recommended
ton In this report Is that the United
Nations organize themselves into o
continuing conference as soon as
possible.
This conference would. have mo-
thing to do with the military con-
duct Of the AYR. On that, the COM
missions report makes Q wise dis.
functions. Responsibility for con-
Quoting the war must rest with the
few large nations that are fighting
Il, and which alone have the mill
tary resources for waging IL. They
must exercise full responsibility In
military affairs. Furthermore the
need Of secrecy, the necessity Of
many immediate decisions and the
technical knowledge required all
would make IL impossible for o con-
ference Of the United Nations to
deal with military conduct Of the
war even II there were no other rea-
sons preventing 1t.
