frictions. Is It then the function
OF the Council to Police it's men,
ber countries? The answer TO that,
OF course, is provided in Paragraph
Z, Section A, OF Chapter s. which
excludes Intervention in domestic
affairs-but are the two instances
have cited strictly domestic? One
might involve all Of Asia In war:
in the other. two powers. Russia
and China, are already involved
and have exhibited their antagon-
ism by refusing to meet each other
at Dumbarton Oaks.
How the nations are TO vote IN
the Council and Assembly is omit
ted and is still under considera-
tion. Whether decisions are TO be
by a majority vote. a two.thirds
vote or whether a single nation
can veto all decisions is undecided.
II majority vote is to determine
action, then the small nations can
control the large ones. A league Of
Small Nations like. for instance,
Finland. Esthonia, Latvia, Poland,
Rumania with perhaps Great Bri-
tain and her Dominions as an ally,
could force Soviet Russia into a
tight corner. Russia therefore is
not minded to agree to a majority
decision. Similarly, a League OF
the Debtors of the United States
might combine against this coun-
try as the worlds creditor, and we
should not like that.
In fact, am wondering what will
happen when the budget OF the new
League OF Nations comes before
the Assembly which apportions ex.
penses among the members of the
organization. II expenses are to
be on population basis, which is
fair, the largest cost will be on
China, but II 1t is to be on Ma
tional Income basis, the largest
cost will be on the United States.
How would majority vote on that
question? Or on THE ccordina.
tion OF the policies of information
al economic, social and other spe-
cialized agencies?"
On the other hand, IL any one
state can exercise a veto on the
decision OF the Council, then the
whole thing becomes a fake, a
fraud and a lie. II Is suggested
that the reason no decision was
reached as to the method OF voting
Is that Soviet Russia demands a
free veto. 1t is logical that Russia,
as the conqueror of many Euro
pean countries in this war. should
desire 10 protect her position. But
the United States, as the creditor
OF the world and the nation pri-
marily available to enforce the deci-
sions Of the new League Of Ma
tions should also seek 10 protect
herself from being constantly en-
broiled in local war in Europe and
Asia which the Council may de.
eide have international signific-
ance.
. This business OF how the voting
Is to be done in the League Is the
heart of the Dumbarton Oaks
Charter--and they left the heart
out.

Oumbarton Oaks

To read and re-read the publish
ed Dumbarton oaks resolutions can
only produce the conclusion that
this so keenly publicized interna.
tional conference, like the one at
Breton Woods. accomplished no.
thing more than to lay the founda.
ton for future discussions. At
most, they disclosed Russia's i'm
perialism and Roosevelt's timidity.
The Charter. as Il is called, re.
establishes the League of Nations
but gives 1t no name, describing IT
roughly as a center for harmonic.
ing the actions of nations" The
doctrine OF limiting national SOW.
ereignty is skirted in many places.
The general structure OF the Lea.
que, namely, Council, Assembly and
Secretariat is retained. or course,
the old World Court is restored.
Permanent seats on the Council are
assigned to the United States, Great
Britain, Soviet Russia, China and
''in due course" France. The Gen.
eral Assembly elects six other mem.
bers to the Council for two year
terms and fills vacancies.
How the peace is to be maintain
ed permanently is postponed-tha
is. the rules and regulations are
still to be drawn up. Therefore
the countries adhering to the Char
ter, take IL on faith but have no
idea as to specific obligations. The
Council may investigate "any situa-
tion" which may lead to an inter
national dispute. What does "any
situation" mean?
For instance. IL the people Of
India rebel against Great Britain
or II the Communists OF China
maintain their civil war against
Chang Kai-shek, may tthe Coun-
Gil intervene? In one case II
would represent a colonial people
in search for freedom; in the 9TH
