 The U. s. Senate, which began debate yesterday, will breathe life into the United Nations Charter for world security when it ratifies the agreement this week. Once Amer ican approval has been obtained, other notifications are expected to come rapidly and by late October the organization of the United Ma tions may come officially into ex- iStence as the medium of keepink world peace by use of pooled force if necessary.
 The birth of the United Nations itself will come when the charter has been ratified by all five of the permanent members of the Security Council - United States, USSR. Great Britain, China and France plus a majority of the other mem- bers of the organization. That will require g out of the remaining 45 nations who sat in at San Francisco
 Recall League
 When the San Francisco Confer ence ended there was an unwritten understanding that to give the world full confidence in the new charter, the United States would be allowed to give it it's first ratifica- tion. Abroad there are still painful memories of the rejection by the U. s. Senate of the League of Nations Covenant despite President Wilson's promises, so to appeaSe any remain ing fear, the United States would be given the first chance to ratify.
 Nicagaragua and Fl Salvador, however, did not await Washing toms action, so that there are al- ready two of the needed g ratifica- tions by non-permanent members.
 The delay, if there is to be de- lay in obtaining the necessary rati- fications, is more likely to come from the other four of the Big Five than from the remaining non- permanent member states. Under the French constitution of 1875, the president of the republic must ratify treaties after approval by the two chambers. There are no cham bers, only consultative assembly" which has no powers to make laws or reject or approve treaties. There is no constitution.
 General Charles De Gaulle fills the role of president in this prov islonal non-elected regime. Yet France can hardly await the Octo- Der elections before voicing it's stand on the United Nations Char ter.
 Approval of Soviet Council
 Russian ratification is the pre- rogative of the supreme organs of authority and is not a prerogative Of Generalissimo Stalin himself. The San Francisco document is now in the hands of the peoples commits Sariat for foreign affairs for pre- liminary approval and will then go tot het wo councils of the Supreme Soviet for final action.
 ChinaS ratification requires the advice" of the Yuan as supreme legislative organ, but once the Yuan has approved, a simple signature by Chiang Kai Shek will suffice. Since Premier T. V. Soong played big part in the San Francisco ne- gotiations, China's ratification may come next after America acts.
 A bill must be submitted to the British parliament, pass thorugh it's required two readings, it's public de- bate, and its third or final reading before parliament can decide to send the treaty tot he crown for ratification. British action was delayed by the general elections, so Britain may be last among the Big Five to ratify.
 Rapid Progress
 Thus for the new charter is run ming ahead of schedule in compar!- son with the League of Nations Covenant. It took 260 days for the Covenant to come into force, from the adoption of the draft covenant by the preliminary peace conference in Paris on April 28, 1919 to the enforcement of the covenant Janu- ary 10, 1920. The first session of the League Council met in Paris six days later on January IS, 1920. The following November l, the League was permanently transferred and installed in Geneva,
