nations are again strong enough
to wage 1t.
In the case Of Germany, 1t will
probably be necessary to establish a
commission which in the first In
stance and for number of years
to come must be responsible to the
victors. That commission must su-
pervise the actual disarmament OF
Germany and the necessary meas
ures to prevent rearmament. Tc

essary to eliminate or to place under
close supervision those industries
which are readily convertible to
war production.
For some years to come, it may
be necessary to forbid Germany any
aviation industry of her own.
have already suggested the advis-
ability of internationalizing the en-
tire Ruhr. which is the heart OF
,Germany's heavy industry. Such a
course would have its advantages
not merely in removing from direct
German national control the raw
materials and the industry for new
war production. 1t would also per-
nit this area to work for the eco
nomic rehabilitation of the entire
continent of Europe.
Measures in Far East.
In the case of Japan. similar
measures adjusted to the particular
characteristics OF that island nation
will be needed. Here China, clearly
will have a definite and special in
terest. But the disarmament of the
aggressor nations, the punishment
of war criminals, the immediate
postwar supervision of German and
Japanese industry-all this Is a re-
sponsibility of the victors and of
such of the liberated countries as
are willing and able to join in the
endeavor
These are specific tasks which we
can plan now and carry out accord
ing to agreements publicly made
and publicly to be observed. This
is the specific task of the great, VIC
torious powers.
The other task is the broader one.
1t is to establish world organiza-
ton In which all nations may share
as sovereign equals, to deal with fu-
ture threats to the peace Of the
world from whatever source, and on
permanent basis
If our only problem were to make
certain that neither Germany nor
Japan should ever again be able to
renew their attack upon the peace
Of the world. it would be fairly SIM
pie. We would have only to disarm
those nations and keep them dis
armed. But let us be clearheaded
as we look into the future. There
have been many wars in which
neither Germany or Japan took part
We must take measures broader in
scope than just to deal with the
aggressors of this war.
We are seeking to make secure the
peace of the world, not merely in
the next 10 years, but as far ahead
as the mind Of man can think. We
will delude ourselves if we think that
the disarmament of Germany and
Japan will eliminate from the face
Of the earth all future threats to
the peace of the world.
World Organization.
So we must have a world organ
ization equipped to meet the prob
lens now unforeseen which may
arise five and 10 or so years from
now. That world organiza ton must
be the work of many minds. No
one man or three or four men can
shape it. Some six nations, great
and small, must help shape it. be-
lieve in it, join it, make it work.
Upon certain aspects of the Or
ganization We are, think. agreed
There will be- a general assembly
comprising all peace loving nations
of the world. In this general as
sembly all nations shall have repre-
sentation. 1t is generally agreed
too. that there will be council
small enough for almost continuous
meeting and prompt action. The
major nations will participate in
the council and the smaller ones
through selected representatives
This world organization should de-
velop effective cooperative means
to prevent or repel military aggres-
sion, and such means should in

But even this is not enough. We
should not seek merely repression
Of conflict. Force breeds revolt un-

the servant Of justice. We should

under which peace will be desired

We in America believe that all

II we are to give leadership to the

and all other peoples of good will
are entitled to full partnership in
preventing its repetition. They feel
as deeply as We do. Their stake is
as great as our stake. The Polish
