Organization Brought Peace,
Improued Life to Millions

LAKE SUCCESS, New ~York-Caling attention to the fact
that, despite disagreement between theBig Powers, United Ma
lions aid has brought peace to one-fourth of the worlds popu-
latlon and a better life to millions everywhere, U.N. Secretary
General Irygve Lie this week declared that, on the whole last
year marked another stage of progress towards a more peace
full world.

In his fourth Annual Report on
the Work of the United Nations,
covering the period from July /,
1948 to June 80 1949, the Secre-
tary-General stressed that U.N.'
multiple activities in the fields of
health, agriculture, child and So
cial welfare, relief, labor,
economic development and
finance and trade have not been
stopped by the Big Power con-
flict and that they have actually
reduced the effects of the latter.
At the same time, Mr.. Lie point
ed out, the facilities and machin-
cry of the 59-nation Organization
produced a meeting of the Coun-
Gil of Foreign Ministers which
helped to relax the fear ofwar
over the Berlin issue.
Two other developments add to
the Importance of the United Ma
tons each year, he said. These
are the rise of many of the peo-
pies of Asia and Africa from de-
tendency towards equality, and
the growing movement to extend
the observance of human rights
throughout the world.
IF the Importance of these de-
velopments were correctly assess
ed, I believe that the world would
find it possible to approach the
present 'East-West' difficulties
with less hysteria, for they would
be more easily seen in their true
perspective. / believe that the
rise of dependent peoples and the
human rights movement will, in
the long run, have far more sig
nifieance and give rise to greater
events in the second half of the
Twentieth Century than will the
present theological struggle"

Navy May Alter Plans

by the Axsocjoied Press

The Navy expects to move its
transport unit, VR-3, from its
present base at Patuxent, Md, to
either Moffett Field, Calf, or
Westover Field, Mass, officials
said yesterday. 4
Orders were drawn up on Sep
tember is, they said. to transfer
the base to Moffett Field but
these later were Cancelled so the
matter could be given further
study.
The officials said a final de-
cision with regard to Moffett
Field would rest largely on dispo-
sition of the field after economy
cuts have been made and on the
emphasis placed on various routes
by the Military Air Transport
Service.
Most Navy sources were closed

said. they were unable to estimate
how many men might be affected
by the move.

the attacks, his skin would become

breathing and. on occasion, he
lost consciousness. -.
Since the surgery, he has had
no attacks and needed oxygen

teamwork is essential to carefully
"sift out and diagnose the con-
ditions."
Heretofore, most "blue babies
in this area who could undergo
surgery were routed to Johns Hop
kins University Hospital in Balti-
more. The operations here were
performed by surgeon who
trained under DR.. Alfred Blalock
who developed the blue baby"
operation with DR.. Helen Taus-
sig at Johns Hopkins.
The operation is for a condi-
I tion known as tetralogy of Fallot,
in which the pulmonary artery
which carries blood from the
heart to the lungs to- be replen-
ished with oxygen-is too small
to permit adequate f1owsof the
blood. Thus, blood coursing
through the body lacks the es-
sential oxygen and the bright
color of oxygenated blood.
Severity of the condition de-
pends upon how much blood is
blocked from reaching the lungs
from the heart, doctors explained
The operation consists of re.
routing blood from the heart
through another vessel. which is
spliced into the pulmonary artery
at point permitting ready access
to the lungs.
Doctors explained that the pa.
tients will never completely lose
their blush color. Even with cor
rective surgery. they explained
all the blood will not have passed
through the lungs to pick ur

GOOD PUBLICITY

ade in Washington was a Substan-
tlal addition to the amount of pub
licity the islands are receiving in
the United States. The float, with
its coconut palms and pirate cas-
tie, was seen by more than one
million persons who jammed the
sidewalks and nearby buildings to
see the huge parade.
/ 1t would have added even more
to the Virgin Islands position in
the parade if the car designated
for the Governor of the Virgin Is
lands was occupied by Governor
HASTE instead of by other impor-
tant Virgin Islanders who were in
the city for the Inauguration.
This was the first occasion on
which so much recognition was
granted the islands and should
have been exploited to the limit.
However, many of the hundreds
OF thousands of people who saw
the parade went away believing
that they had seen the Governor
of the Virgin Islands. Newspaper
pictures of the car, which was dis
t1nctly marked, appeared caption
ed The Governor of the Virgin
Islands in the Inaugural Parade"
The Virgin Islands were well re-
presented however by several out
standing persons both from St.
Thomas and st. Croix. Oswald
Harris represented the Municipal
lily OF st. Thomas and st. John
contributing much to the interest
aroused in the Virgin Islands by
the float and the car in the par
ade. Attending several functions
which had previously been tacit-
ly barred to Negroes, MI. Harris
was able to cultivate new friend
ships for the islands. In addition
to this he was able to enlist the
support of several influential Con-
gressmen against the Butler Re
sident Commissioner Bill.
1t is very fitting that the Virgin
Islands should have been so repre-
sented at the inauguration of Pres
ident Truman and it would have
been even better if the islands
could have contributed more to
the festivities. President Truman
has consistently favored measures
for the benefit of the islands and
during his next four years with
his own party in control of Con
gress, his influence should be a
valuable asset. The expenditure
for the float and representation
cannot compare with the amount
of goodwill generated by them,
and at least to some extent they
carried the feeling of the people
of the Virgin Islands toward their
President and friend.

LIBERIA TO EMBASSY STATUS
UNITED states is about to have its first Negro
ambassador. Last week the State Department agreed to raise
the U. S. legation in Monrovia, Liberia, to embassy status,
and when that takes place, the minister to that country will
naturally, become an ambassador.
OCCASIONALLY it is good to take time out to note sig
nihcant events taking place in other parts of the world. The
days when a section of the world remained SNUG in its con-
tented isolation are forever gone. The airplane and radio have
Shrunk the world & made men conscious of their common in
terests, regardless of where they may be. So it is no longer the
rule that events in other parts of the world are met with in
difference, for the pattern is rapidly shaping for one world
RECENTLY THERE was vicious rioting in South Africa,
as natives, resentful of disgraceful treatment, including lack
of representation in the local legislature, began to see the
light. No longer is it possible for any one group to exploit
other men. The wholesome influence of elf-government is
spreading, and at a more rapid rate than can be imagined.
H SIGNIFICANT step taken by the United States
through its State Department, it is clear indication Of things to
come. Liberia, the only Negro republic in Africa, is taking
its place among the nations of the world, and being recog-
nized as such. Already American capital has invested heavi-
ly in Liberia. Firestone, in addition to SO thousand odd acres
of rubber plantation, is further developing natural resources
giving employment, and helping raise the standards of liv-
ing. This is clear proof of what can be done when given an
opportunity.
THE PRESENT minister to Liberia is Edward r Dud-
former Administrative Assistant to Governors Harwood and
HASTE, Americas only Negro minister. With the raising Of
the legation to embassy status it naturally follows that Mr..
Dudley, if retained, will likewise be elevated to the status of
ambassador. So far as is known, there are no straws in the
wind pointing to a change. This is an important step, and
points the way to recognition of minority groups the world
