2. Determining the existence of any threat to the peace of the world and deciding what should be done about it.
 3. Telling the nations in any in- ternational dispute to settle their differences by negotiation, media tion, arbitration, judicial settlement or resort to regional agncies like the Pan American Union, or any other peaceful means they can fig- ure out for themselves.
 4. If these peaceful means don't work, the Council may decide to cut off the disputing countries foreign trade or communications.
 5. If blockadeS or economic boy colts don't restore peace, the Coun- cil may then order the use of arm- ed forces.
 All of the United Nations are ob- iged under the charter to carry out the decisions of the Council. The Council has as its strong right arm a General Staff Committee made up of the chiefs of staff of the Big Five powers. This General Staff committee would designate what countries would furnish what air, sea or land forces and direct their use in enforcing the peace.
 ONE VOTE FOR UNCLE SAM
 In passing on all these matters, Council Member Stettinius will have one vote to cast for the United States. On simple matters of pro- cedrue, questions will be settled by seven out of the II members.
 When 1t comes to the big ques- tions of enforcing peace, however. all of the Big Five, plus at least two of. the non-permanent mem- bers, must vote for the action or it's no dice. Only exception to that unanimous Big Five rule will cSme when one of the Council members is in a dispute, in which case he must abstain from voting.
 In addition to casting the Q. 8. vote, Council Member Stettinius will cast the U. s. veto.
 When Council Member Stettinius moves over to his other job and becomes General AsSemblyman Stettinius, he will be sitting in on big debating society the new town meeting of the world where anything mentioned in the Charter may be discussed.
 It can talk about future disarm- ament, for instance, or any subject relating to world peace, and Assem- blyman Stettinius can take part in making recommendations for Coun- cillor Stettinius and his 10 cohorts on the Security Council to do some- thing about. Once the Assembly passes subject to the Council, how ever, the Assembly is supposed to keep hands of and mouth shut till the Council takes action.
 The Assembly is also supposed to promote international co-opera- tion in the development of inter- national law, economic, cultural, social and health improvement. To this end it will receive reports from the Security Council, the Social and Economic Council, the Trusteeship Council, the Secretary General and all the other organizations UNO may set up. When you get right down to the bottom of it, this Gen. eral Assembly will run the works. TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY
 REQUIRED
 Important decisions in this G. A. will be made by two-thirds major ity of those present and voting. The f1ve-man U. s. delegation will get only one vote, and that's all any nation vii have. Questions requir- ing this two-thirds majority include election of new members, election of non-permanent members of the Se- curity Council, election of nations to be represented on the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, election of the Secretary General after nomination by the Security Council, fixing UNO's budget, kicking out undesirable members and suspending those that haven't paid their dues.
 The General Assembly must meet once year, but 1t isn't expected to to be in session all the time, which is a break for Assemblyman Stet- tiniuS, as that will give him a chance to keep up with the work of Councillor Stettinius.
