Urged by Lord Brooke

LONDON, Nov. 6.-Field Marshal
Lord Alan Brooke, wartime chief
Of the British general star, warned
today that the United Nations was
not yet fully established bulwark
against future wars" and called for
British commonwealth solidarity
and = world -circling empire defense
system.
In a speech prepared for the
Royal Empire Society, he said the
U. N. was suffering from serious
teething trouble" and complained
that some dominion statesmen
tended to subordinate British COM
monwealth interests Of U. N. inter-
ests.
THE best way to insure the ulti-
mate success Of the U. N. Is to guard
1t against any major crisis during
its infancy" he declared, and this
can best be achieved by supporting
the well-est&blished organization Of
the British Commonwealth. to the
utmost while fostering the bonds Of
friendship and blood which bind it
to the United States Of America"
He said the u. N. wound "inevit-
ably require many years before
reaching maturity and being able
to make its influence felt as guard
ian OF peace"
Lord Alan Brooke said modern
weapons, such as air bombardment,
long-range rockets. improved sub
marines and the atomic bomb" had
weakened commonwealth security
seriously by greatly increasing the
vulnerability Of the United King
dom, where the bulk Of its defensive
resources were concentrated.
