That has been our consistent

At the same time, he expanded
his recent declarations on creation

intends they would be treaed

gave permission for the statement
to be made public verbatim, spe-

The secretary was asked wheth-

to reassure small nations about
their security in the postwar peri

that the small nations would not be
able to support any world organi-

the United States, Russia, Britain

To this the secretary replied that
the welfare of each nation in the
future depends upon the welfare of
all or, he added. most all. The
latter evidently was a reference to
