 Support Pledged
 Bevin made a str3ng plea for the JNO to outlaw war through justice and pledged Britain's wholehearted efforts to make the organization successful.
 British Commonwealth peoples have been engaged in battle one day in every three during the past 90 years, Bevin said.
 And for what purpose? For gains for themselves? No. For aggrandisement? No. But only to defeat those who would destroy lib- srty md would harness the soul Of man to a pernicious system"
 The three African mandates in. tended for the UNO, Bevtn said. are Tanganyika, the Cameroons and Toxoland. He said Britain had de- cided to start negotiations forth with" and already has begun pre- liminary talks.
 Former German Territories
 All three territories are former German possessions which were aS- signed to Britain by the League Of Nations in 1922 as Glass B man. dates. Tanganyika was formerly German East Africa, while the Cameroons and Togoland are on the West Coast.
 Bevin made one qualification that Britain's willingness to place the territories under UNO trustee ship naturally depends upon our being able to negotiate terms which are in our view generally satisfac- tory. which will achieve the objec- tiyes of the charger and are in the hest interests of the inhabitants or the territories themselves"
 The CameroonS have an area about 35,OOO square miles and popu" lation of e0O.OO0. Togoland has an area of i2,OOO square miles with 2oa. 900 population. Tanganyika IS fine largest of the three areas, with 5.OOO,O0O inhabitants in 3IS'OOU square miles. ,
 Bevln pledged Britain to "dedi- cate ell our capacity, courage and achievement to building up a world order and peace"
 Avoid Iranian Dispute
 He avoided all references to the dispute between Iran and Russia, which the Iranian delegation has threatened to submit to the UNO. He warned, however. that nations can't just hand their problems to the UNO as a remote and imperson- al organization without making further effort by themselves to ma solutions.
 Bevin reviewed the UNO problems in general terms, emphasizing the duty of peace loving nations to out- law war even if the atomic bomb and meteorological warfare had not been discovered.
 "The aggressor can no longer look forward to a halo of glory ana statues created in his memory. In- stead he will be remembered by the scanold and hangman's rope, he said.
 Wants ILO Continued
 Beyin made the first public ap- neal before the UNO for continua- fion of the Interna ional Labor Of- flee. an old League of Nations or Ranization to which Russia never helon9ed. Russia probably would object to close association of the la Dor office with the UNo. 1t was oe- lieved.
 The Foreign Secretary warned that social and economic disorders arising from the war may lead 70 f'still further troubles and serious conflicts"
 He iaid great emphasis on the Biz Five Military Staff Committes whose duty will be mot to fight a narrow nationalist war but to de- fend the peace of the world" He hailed the fact that the wartime sue. ess ot the Allied chiefs of stan can be extendeL to i've nations 10. the UNO benefit.
