World Organization
Urged By Churchill
Continued from Page u

Such an organization would close
ly parallel the tribunal proposed
months ago by Russia, but Church.
III took the set-up seven leagues for
ward by proposing the establishment
OF permanent world machinery i'm
mediately after Germany's defeat
rather than In interim war court.
BY turning over OF the organiza-
ton the punishment of the Axis and
Its place In the postwar world,
Churchill hoped to avoid the pitfalls
OF the Versailles conference, whose
shortcomings were primary cause
Of World War II.
Churchill emphasized that any
new world order or subsidiary Eu-
ropean council would be doomed
without the cordial and concerted
agreemnt and direct participation"
Of the United States and Russia.
As O measure OF the Importance
he places upon American Russian
participation. he departed from his
prepared text to interpolate direct
participation"
Churchill said the new world In
stitution should be formed with the
United Nations as a nucleus and
eventually admit AL nations" thus
opening the door TO the eventual
membership of Germany, Italy,
Japan and other Axis countries.

said, there would come into being

In general, Victory Gardeners are
asked to make their gardens big

Such a garden will make its

on which the tax Is based, without

The report singled out the dis

Such plan would encourage tax

Then he warned that the Anglo.

he proposed for the immediate fu-

broad outlines Of the postwar
world organization.
Nothing would be more foolish
at this stage" he said, "than To
plunge into details and try to pres

for their corporation, or still more,
to argue about frontiers now while
the war even In the west has not

nothing must lure us from It..
Nevertheless, in my opinion. the

Once Germany has been crushed,
and with her, Italy and the other
satellites. Churchill said. a world
organization should be set up which
would safeguard the member ma

l.-"Elfectually disarmlng and
keeping disarmed with guilty states
2.-"Bringing to justice the grand
criminals and their acccinplices.
