 land will be eligible, though they are not now members of the United Nations and furthermore, it is Speci- fled that non-members will be ex- pected to conduct themselves so that they shall not endanger the peace and security of the members.
 One interesting detail of the con- ditions of membership is that no provision is made for nations re- signing. Thus it would be impossible for Germany or Italy or Japan to re- sign as they did from the League of Nations and go of to start wars in all directions.
 Provision is made, however, for nations to be suspended or even expelled from membership in the United Nations organization, when they don't behave. Once suspended or expelled, a nation could be read mitted after it had met its obliga- tionS to the organization.
 BYLAWS CAN SET UP
 THE MACHINERY
 No waiting periods of probation are defined in the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, but they could be speci- fled in the final charter drawn up when all the United Nations meet for this purpose next year, or they could be written into the bylaws and rules of procedure which the organization could enact after it was created.
 Non-members would have some of the rights and privileges of mem bers, under the Dumbarton Oaks draft For instance, later section provides that non-members as well as members may have the right of appeal to the organization in set tling their problems, or may call to the attention of the organization any mater endangering peace-even an act of aggression by member against non-member.
 Chapter " of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals is another short sec tion, merely listing the principal or- ganS of the organizations: first a General Assembly, second Security Council, third an International Court of Justice, fourth a Secretar- fat, and finally, such other subsid- iary agencies as may be found nec- eSSary.'
 UNLIKE OUR OWN
 GOVERNMENTAL PLAN
 Americans are used to the three principal Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of their govern ment with checks and balances, the executive being the President, the legislative being divided into a Sen- ate and House of Representatives, the judicial centered in Supreme Court and the lower federal courts. The proposed United Nations or- ganization isn't like that at all.
 In the first place, there is no real executive power, for the United Ma tionS organization does not attempt to create a superstate. The Security Council will have certain executive powers in enforcing peace, and the Secretary General will have certain board administrative powers in run ming the organiza ton. But neither will be full-fledged executive, per- forming the functions of world ruler.
 Similarly, the Security Council of II members and the General Assem- ply with one vote for every mem Der of the United Nations organiza- tion should not be confused with the Senate and House of the U. s. Con- gresS.
 An over-simplif1ed explanation of the separation of powers of these two bodies would be to say that the big job of the Security Council is to maintain peace. The function of the General Assembly is largely to make recommendations to the member nations On how they can best secure international coopera- tion, sort of legislative advisory body, in that its actions must be ratified by member nations.
