Halifax Sees Big Four
Responsible for World

BY the Associated Press.
British Ambassador Lord Halifax.
in an article written for the maea-
zine World Affairs. expresses the
belief that the United States, Eng
land, Russia and China are the
nations which have the most to con-
tribute in getting the world on its
feet again after the war"
Between us he writes. I'VE dis
pose Of a very large part of the
worlds resources in manpoWer, in
dustrial strength and material
wealth. If we want a better world
: :" = it is up to us to get it started.
Small powers know to their grief
how discord or inertia among the
great can make small problems into
big ones and big ones into calamities.
They rightly look to us, the great
powers, to see that this sort Of thing
does not happen again.
IF the dream of world security
is to come true it can only be on
the condition that each is
willing to assume its just burden of
responsibility."
