cardinal principle of Big Three Unity.
Vandenberg, meanwhile, had managed
to assume leadership over the U. S.
delegation, but after his hold had been
broken the conference quickly adopted
thirty resolutions in an atmosphere
of general harmony.
Which Way America?
The United States cannot afford to
win many more victories" such as
| those scored by our delegation at San
Francisco. The U. S. is now the most
powerful nation in the world, and
other nations are anxiously watching
to see whether we are heading in the
direction of imperialism or peace.
AS yet, the congress of the United
States has given no indication of its
stand. 1t is the big question mark in
world politics. Unfortunately the per-
Torrance of our delegation at the con-
ference has fallen far short of con-
vincing other nations that we intend
to cooperate with them instead of
using our power to bludgeon them into
cooperating" with us on our own
terms and at our own price.
U. S. Position at Frisco
Wendell Willkie warned us that
around the world "the reservoirs of
goodwill open to us have run danger
ously low" In the face of the great
est opportunity ever before US, we
have not acted to raise the level of
these reservoirs. Here is the black
side of the record at San Francisco:
1. Argentina: Upon the United
States falls the responsibility for re-
quiring that the United Nations take
a fascist government to its bosom,
government declared fascist by our
Official representatives including Roo
sevelt, Hull, and Stettinius. This,
after millions of lives are spent in
combating fascism.
2. independence: The onus of strik-
ing out Independence" as the avowed |
objective for dependent peoples and |
lands taken under a trusteeship sys-
tenn is on the U. S. which case the
vote.
8. Pan Americanism: So heavy an

eight short of a full majority.
They Made Us Do It'll
The lame excuse offered by the u.
S. delegates for bringing fascist Ar
gentina into a United Nations Confer
ence was that the Latin American ma
lions insitsed upon it. This same ex-
cuse was again used for advancing the
regional plan which in it's original
form seriously challenged the unified
authority of the world organization.
Anyone familiar with U. S. invest
ments in South America knows that if
these semi-colonial countries Gin
sisted" upon our government taking
such a course it was only because
the U. S. insisted" upon their Gin
sisting".
The seating of Argentina was car
ried out by resort to the most reck-
less form of power politics" There
was no previous consultation with the
sponsoring nations, and the question
was rushed to the full conference for
a vote without the support of any
European nation except Holland,
which no doubt voted as a Pacific
colonial empire rather than as a Euro
pean country.
Big-Three Unity
Walter Lippman warned that unless
the U. S. does it's part in maintaining
the unity of the Big Three, there can
be no hope for a lasting peace He
that powerful interests are
trying to use the new world organi-
cation as a means of policing the
Soviet Union instead of Germany and
Japan.
Another move to weaken the unity
of the major powers has come with
the reopening of the whole question
Of voting procedure and the attempt
to limit the veto power allowed them
IN the security council. Stettinius
Molotov upon the latter's de-
oarture that the U. S. would stand
'irm against any change in the voting
but our "firmness" con-
sisted of saying that we do not under
stand it.
All of this serves to prove that
here is nothing automatic about the
achievement Of world peace. If we
re to prevent selfish interests from
international cooperation,
is essential that each of us, indi-
idually and collectively, notify Presi-
ent Truman that we are concerned

f Big Three Unity and will back him
