posals, which only produce diver
gence Of opinion upon details, many
Of which may be immaterial.
The only practical course Is to
begin by obtaining agreement, first,
upon broad principles, setting forth
direction and general policy. We
must then 60 on to explore alter
native methods and finally settle
upon a proposal which embodies
the principal elements of agree
ment and leaves to future expert
ence and discussion those matters
Of comparative detail which at
present remain in the realm OF
speculation.
It is dificult procedure and a
slow procedure, as the time which
has been required to work out the
arrangements for such = univer-
sally accepted objective as inter-
national relief makes evident. It
Is a procedure in which misunder-
standing, the premature hardening
Of positions and uninforned criti-
cism frequently cause months of
delay and endless confusion, some
times utter Illustration. It Is = pro-
cedure In which the people, who are
sovereign, must not only educate
their servants, but must be willing
to be educated by them.
In this way We are proceeding
with the matter of an international
organization to maintain peace and
prevent aggression. Such an organ
ization must be based on firm and
binding obligations that the mem
Der nations will not use force against
each other and against any other
nation except in accordance with
the arrangements made. It must
provide for the maintenance of
adequate forces to preserve peace
and it must provide the institutions
and procedures for calling this force
into action to preserve peace.
But 1t must provide more than
this. It must provide for m inter-
national court for the development
and application of law to the set
tlement Of international controyer-
sizes which fall within the realm of
law; for the development Of ma
chinery for adjusting controversies
to which the field Of law has not
yet been extended; and for other
institutions for the development Of
new rules to keep abreast Of q

Further steps along the road OF
united Allied action were taken at
the conference at Cairo, where the
President and Mr.. Churchill met
with Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek. and at the conference at
Tehran, where they met with Mar
shall Stain.
At Tehran the three Allies fight
ing in Europe reached complete
agreement on military plans for
winning the war, and made plain
their determination to achieve har-
monious action in the period of
peace That concert among the
Allies rests on broad foundations of
common interests and common as
|pirations. and it will endure. The
Tehran declaration made it clear
also that in the tasks of peace we
shall welcome the cooperation and
active participation of all nations,
large and small, which wish to enter
into the world family OF democratic
nations.
Pacific Declaration.
/ The Cairo declaration as to the
Pacific assured the liquidation of
Japan's occupations and thefts Of
territory to deprive her of the power
to attack her neighbors again. to
restore Chinese territories to China
and freedom to the people of Korea.
No one knows better than we and
our Allies who have signed these
documents that they did not and do
not settle all questions or provide a
formula for the settlement of all
questions or lay down a detailed
blueprint for the future. Any man
of experience knows that an attempt
to do this would have been as futile
as it would have been foolish.
There has been discussion recently
of the Atlantic Charter and of its
application to various situations.
The charter is an expression of
fundamental objectives toward
which we and our Allies are di-
recting our policies 1t states that
the nations accepting it are not
fighting for the sake of aggrandize-
ment, territorial or otherwise. It
lays down the common principles
upon which rest the hope of liberty,
economic opportunity. peace and Sc
curity through international CO.
operation.
It is not 4 code of law from which
detailed answers to every question
can be distilled by painstaking
analysis Of its words and phrases.
1t points the direction in which So
Evening star., 1944-04-10

lutions are to be sought; 1t does not
give solutions. It charts the course
upon which We are embarked and
shall continue. That course in
cludes the prevention of aggression
and the establishment of world Sc
curity. The charter certainly does
ont prevent any steps, including
those relating to enemy states,
necessary to achieve these detectives
What is fundamental are the OBJ
jectives Of the charter and the de-
termination to achieve them.
1t is hardly to be supposed that
all the more than 30 boundary ques-
tions in Europe can be settled while
the fighting is still in progress. This
does not mean that certain ques-
tions may not and should not in the
meantime be settled by friendly con-
ference and agreement. We are at
all times ready to further an un-
derstanding and settlement of ques-
tions which may raise between our
Allies, as Is exemplified by our offer
to be OF such service to Poland and
the Soviet Union. Our offer is still
open. Our policy on these matters,
as on all others, is the fundamental
necessity for agreed action and the
prevention Of disunity among us.
So 1t Is with the basic conviction
that We must have agreed action
and unity OF action that we have
gone to work on the form and SUBJ
stance Of an international organiza- .
ton to maintain peace and prevent
aggression, and upon the economic
and other cooperative arrange
ments which are necessary in order
that We maintain our position as a
working partner with other free ma
tions. All of these matters are in
different stages of development.
Basic Acceptance.
1t Is obvious, of course, that no
matter how brilliant and desirable
any course may seem. it Is wholly
impracticable and impossible unless
1t is course which finds basic ac-
ceptance. not only by our Allies, but
by the people Of this country and by
the legislative branch Of this Gov
ernment, which, under our Consti-
tuition, shares with the executive
power and responsibility for final
action.
A proposal is worse than useless II
1t is not acceptable to those nations
who must share with US the respon-
sibility for its execution. It is dan
gerous for us and misleading to
them If In the final outcome It does
not have the necessary support in
this country. It is, therefore, neces-
sary both abroad and at home not to
proceed by presenting elaborate pro-
