The Foster Parents Plan was
founded during the Spanish Civil
war to care for Spanish children
whom the war rendered homeless.
In 1887 Mrs. Blue helped found
the American Committee. which
includes among its sponsors, Mrs.
Harry Truman and Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt. When World War II
broke out the plan extended its
scope to other countries.
Originally the children were
rounded UP and housed in empty
country castles. Today every eff
fort is made to place a child in a
foster home or care for him in
his own. Every case is investi-
gated by local authorities before
it is undertaken.
Those who support the plan
subscribe SIS month for at least
one year. They include many
schools, universities, sororities
and other groups as well as in
dividuals. Each foster parent
whether individual or group is
assigned a special child. The
money they give is spent for
food, clothing, medical care or
whatever else the child necGs. In
addition the foster parent is 'ex-
pected to see that the child gets
birthday and Christmas gifts and
at least one letter a month.
The letter was put into the
requirements Immediately aft
er the day when a l5-Year-old
Czetlloslovakian boy. whose
foster mother always remem-
bered his birthday and Christ
mas gifts. was found hanging

LION IS GOAT IN
DRAMA AT 700

JOHANNESBURG. S. Africa.
-tAPl-A mountain goat at the
johannesburg Zoo 1eaped a wall
INTO the lion enclosure. Satan, a
maneless lion, began to stalk the
goat. But Satan in captivity had
lost his native agility.
The goat was too quick for him
but, dashing about in panic, fell
from the perpendicular rock face
separating the lions from the
public. Injured, the goat was car
ried back to its own quarters,
while Satan dashed his tail in
'chagrin.

ceedingly difficult to get sovereign
state to concur, to act unanl-
mously, not to veto agreement the
remedy lies in a%bolishing the veto
mower and substituting majority
rule.
This is for the moment a popular
notion in this country. But that is
only because it appears to be a
short and simple way of dealing
with the Russians. Yet for the
reasons so cogently expounded in
the Federalist papers, it will not
prove to be a successful method.
Majority rule is a great principle
for deciding issues among indi-
vidual voters. 1t is an impossible
device for deciding serious issues
among powerful sovereign states.
For the decisions of a majority OF
citizens can be enforced by arrest
ing and Furnishing individuals who
violate the laws made by the
majority. But the decisions of a
majority of governments can be
enforced only by war. Since this
punishment, namely war, is as
Furnishing to the law-abiding as to
the law-breaking states, it will be
applied so rarely and so reluctant
ly that it cannot be counted upon.
1T is not probable, considering the
genius Of this country" said
Hamilton (Fedelalist Number 16),
that the complying states would
often be inclined to support the
authority of the Union by en-
gaging in a a against the non
complying states"
Mr.. Baruch's treatment of the
veto has taken this country-which
has the responsibility of leader
ship in the field of atomic energy
up a blind alley. Somehow it will
be necessary to retrace our. steps,
taking as u guide the deep poll
teal wisdom of the men who did
in fact solve the problem of the
veto power among the sovereign
American states. They have taught
us that the veto cannot be remov-
ed by substituting the majority
rule OF governments but that it can
be superseded as general laws are
enacted.
We cannot afford to. misunder-
stand this problem. For on the
right solution of it may well hang
our hope of peace and an ordered
world. The Russians nave used the
veto so often and SO t~actlessly and
SO reckle ssly that they have prei1,-
diced a clear understanding of fhe
real problem. Yet the fact Of the
matter is that the veto al he rsad
