UN0 as Chief Factor
In Foreign Policies
Held Necessary Goal
BY GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Staff Writer.

star stan writer.
LONDON, Jan. IA. - The United
Nations Organization must become
the overriding factor in foreign pol
icy.
This terse thought from the speech
selivered by Prime Minister Attlee
of Britain at the opening of the
United Nations General Assembly
sets forth the goal which must be
attained.
If there is to be peace and the en-
forcement of international law and
justice, it is clear that all the great
powers, including the United States
and Russia, and all other nations
must make up their minds whether
they place first the maintenance OF
peace and the settlement of interna-
tional disputes through measures
other than war or whether they sub
ordinate their desire for peace to
ambitions of their own. Seemingly
Great Britain is willing to take the
plunge.
Mr.. Attlee, without saying it in sc
many words, puts the ban on foreign
policy engendered by meetings OF
Big Three or Big Five groups of ma
tions. Multilateral and bilateral
agreements which do not fit into the
framework of the United Nations are
out. Regional arrangements among
rotin1c hn ,r,itl,i,o l,r
framework of the UNO.
In other words, the United Ma
tions is to become a vital and ef-
fective agency, carrying not only the
nations hopes for peace, but also fol
international collaboration alone
many lines, including economic.
1t is not to be a side issue, some.
thing to warrant support only wher
1t does not interfere with other ano
more personal arrangements.
If this objective is attained, it will
be very different organization from
the old League of Nations, not sc
much in its constitution, but in the
support which it will receive from it,
members.
After the World War, said Mr.
Attlee, there was tendency to regare
the League of Nations as something
outside the ordinary range of foreign
policy. Governments continued or
the old lines, pursuing individual
aims and following the path o.
power politics, not understanding
that the world had passed into &
new epoch. Clearly, if such mis-.
take is made again, the new UNC
will be little more effective for peace
than was the old League.
UNO Has Advantage.
The United Nations, however. ha!
the advantage of having as origina
members the United States and Rus
sia, neither of which was membel
of the League at its start, and tht
United States never became a mem
ber.
The British Prime Minister, on be-
half of his country, has made grea
decision and a fine gesture. Every
thing depends on whether the othe.
powers will adopt sincerely the sam'
policy.
1t is not going to be easy 1t was no
easy either in bygone times, as Mr.
Attlee pointed out, to reduce tht
great mobiles and their private armie!
to obedience to the central law OF the
land. But in the end it was accom-
plished in Britain and in the othel
countries.

BY FRANK CAREY.
ASSOCIATED Press Science Writer)
An unofficial tally of one-fourth

ton:

mans proposal for national pre-
paid health insurance" plan to be
financed by additional social Sc
curity taxes and by general govern
ment revenues?"
One hundred and forty-one bal
lots were returned. Of these, u
voted no" and 43 voted yes"
Seventeen were undecided" three
were "non-committal, and six
others gave qualified answers.

Of the l41 ballots returned. X
were from Republicans, So from
Democrats, one from an American
Labor party member, and two by
members of Congress who did mo-
give their party designation. MANY
of the ballots were returned b.
mailD
An attempt was made to reach
all members of both houses, bu
some had left for their homes wher
the poll was taken. Some who re-
ceived ballots did not return them
The ballots returned represent
geographically, large sections of th'
country.
President Truman made his pro-
posal in message to Congress OF
November 10, 1945, when he sale
millions do not now have protec.
ton or security against the economi,
effects of sickness. The time ha!
arrived for action to help them at
tain that opportunity and that pro
lection"
Legislative bills based on the Pres
ident's proposal-but making no pro
visions as to the manner in whicl
the health insurance program woul'
be fnanced-have been introduce,
by Senator Wagner, Democrat, O
New York and Murray, Democrat, O
Montana and by Representative
Dingell, Democrat, of Michigan. Tn
bills were referred to committees 70

80 Democrats for 1t.
OF the rs designated Republican
who returned ballots in the Asso
ciated Press poll, only four expresse
themselves in favor of the Truma
proposal. Nine were undecided, thre
were noncommittal, and one sal

ent IF notifications are made, per
haps I could go along"
OF the SO designated Democrat.
38 were for the proposal, IL wer
opposed, were undecided and
! gave qualified answers.
AT the time he recommended
national compulsory prepaid "healt
insurance" system, the President ais
recommended these other four point
in national health program:
Increased Federal aid for hospits
construction; Federal aid for medi
cal education and research; expar
sion of maternal health, publ
health and child health services, an
disability insurance.
Those four points also are include
in pending legislation.
But greatest discussion has Ger
tered around the compulsory prepai
health insurance point.
