him out ~ t}nifprm for several
more weeks. Dick Wakefield. the
boy with the big bat, pulled some.

Wakefield has never gained.

shoulder blade which plagued him
the latter part of last season. Dir.

they will be threatened with wide
spread malnutrition, acute unem-
ployment and similar conditions
conducive to social and political
unrest of the most serious kind. II
we are to avert additional crises,
therefore, the United Nations will
have to work out, without delay, a
program of effective international
aid to carry on where UNRRA leaves
of.
Obviously, however, this is some
thing that calls for much more than
the mere creation of another agency
to replace UNRRA. In a long-term
sense, since economic and political
rivalry is at the root of the worlds
troubles, it calls for nothing less
than q new spirit of mutual trust
and cooperation within the United
Nations, specifically between the
eastern and western powers. With
out that, the chances are that man
kind, ridden by blind passion and
binder greed, will keep on suffering
a self-imposed outrageous fortune.

Security Force Role
By George Fielding Eliot

time that the small American British
ground force In this area was supported
BY the timely arrival Of cruisers and
destroyers Of the Mediterranean fleets
of those two countries. Tito did not
move. Insofar as he was restrained by
the presence of the Anglo-Amerlcan
forces, he had to take into account the
fact that these forces were responsible
only to their respective governments,
and that the officers in command un-
doubtedly had orders to take approprl-
ate action in the event OF certain con-
tingencies occurring. In other words,
the presence Of the force was strolg
that 1t would be used II Tito
tried any lawless action. But would ne
have been equally restrained by the
presence or existence Of United Nations
contingents which could not be used
without the unanimous decision OF the
Security Council? Not unless he were
advised that his Soviet friends would not
support him, and in that case he would
not have dared to try any nonsense any
way.

We cannot afford to be less than
realistic about the present state OF the
world. The brutal truth is that we are
not going to be able to have anything
like an international police force until
there is an authority which can direct
the work Of that police force in the
interests of the world community as a
whole. AS long as the great powers are
seeking their own advantage, are en-
gagged in a contest for power, local
breaches OF the peace can be dealt with
only by the action OF one or more
nations which have the force, the will
to use It, and are determined to see to
it that international Agreements
