StatiNl contributions by each na- ton" He called the unsettled Issues important but not in any sense in- SuperAble," and recommended i'm. mediate steps to fill in the gaps,
 The proposals are fAr more de-. tailed than those embodied nearly 2S years ago in the League of Na- tionS covenant, But in contrast to the league, the new organization would not attempt to guarantee the territorial integrity of any exist. ing state.
