for justice In cerIaln reInoUS
places of the earth, including
India and West Africa.
JUSTICE is ILLUSTRATED
Highlighted on curtain at the
front of the stage were the i'm
mortal words of Disraei written
in 1851: Justice is Truth in Ac-
ton" And illustrating the special
opening session theme, "Frontiers
of Justice" was the text printed
on a white curtain in the back
ground, uttered by Richard Rum
bold on the scaffold in 1885: II
could never believe that Provi-
dence had sent few men into the
world ready, booted and spurred
to ride and millions ready, saddl-
ed and bridled, to be ridden"
With these thought-provoking
utterances before the audience
the messages of the speaker took
on a broader and deeper meaning.
This session and the others
were held in the grand ballroom
Of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel,
which was filled to overlooking
with national representation from
social, civic, educational, political
and industrial organizations.
Much of the opening session as
well as those to follow was broad
cast and televised.
MRS. REID is CHAIRMAN
In her opening remarks, Mrs.
Ogden Reid, Vice-president of the
New York Herald Tribune and
chairman of the Forum, welcomed
the audience and recalled the fact
that last year the Forum en-
phasized the responsibilities of
victory and that was limited to
the Allies. ''This year our subject
scope includes all mankind" she
said and pointed out that after
victory, the implications of the
bond, rehabilitation, disentrega-
ton had confused man. I'm the
loss of sense of direction of what
to do, the concept of justice SEEM
ed to offer the one sure compass
for chartering the path toward a
new milestone in world co-opera-
ton.
Justice, it seems to me, may,
well be. the highest motivating
force that man has contributed to
the world" It began as a force
between individuals and families
and as civilizations evolved, it ex-
tended to tribes, communities and
units inside a nation. Today with
the help Of new thinking, Of new
presidents set at Nuremberg it
should apply to relations between
countries. ia.
I'VE are opening the Fifteenth
New York Herald Tribune Forum
at a crucial moment for the world.
With fifty-one nations represent
ed in New York city and dedicat-
ed to the problem of cooperation,
a fresh page of history is being
written. Among the inevitable
disagreements, we have believed
that the lifestream running thro-
ugh negotiations is the struggle
for justice. for fair play, and for
the give-and-take that is essential
between individual human beings
and now, between nations. Diff
ferent creeds, different ideologies
may exist, but among friends
they rate and receive respect.
Justice becomes the golden rule
in action, she declared.
