These demonstrated in fact how
thoroughly justified had been the
long-held feeling that it was imper-

Tests Met With Courage.
1T is difficult and even hazardous
to attempt an immediate assess

expectedly hard tests encountered
even before organizing problems
could be solved were met with cour-

the future. The organization was
effectively established and substan-

frankness and resolution. The par

step on the long road to peace and

been strong and sure. The next one
can take us further. How well we
can advance on the way will depend,

He explained that the only maio,
organ provided which could not be
set up was the Trusteeship Council
ampllfying that this was mot due tC
lack of desire but to the fact that
although necessary negotiating steps
by the states directly concerned are
under way relative to certain man

have not yet reached the point
