has high hopes for its effective
ness in appealing to the worlds
moral law. He is a realiSt about
it. One of the great difficulties,
he says, is the wide difference in
ideas of right and wrong through
out the world.
He is not satisfied with the
commonplace statement that
1.-The United Nations is the cor
nerStone Of United States for
eign policy" He wants the
American people to know what
the United Nations Is and what
1t is not.
1t is not world government:
it can utilize no international
police force in the present day
world: it is not a final stage
in the development of a world
order, it is primitive stage,
according to the Dulles text.
Mr.. Dulles was the Republican
observer at the birth of the
United Nations. That was in
1914. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York. who was running
against President Roosevelt, ex-
pressed misgivings as to what
was going on at Dumbarton
Oaks, where the Big Three con-
ference was planning the post
war organization of nations.
Secretary of State Hull said
he would be glad to keep Gov.
Dewey informed and the candi-
date sent Mr.. Dulles as his rep
reSentative. It prevented the
U. N. from becoming a campaign
issue and it was the birth of the
bipartisan policy.
Delegations Adviser.
Later Mr.. Dulles went to San
Francisco as senior adviser to
the American delegation and
since he has served several times
as one of the American delegates
to the United Nations Assembly.
Secretaries Byrnes and Marshall
took him along as senior adviser
to the Big Four foreign min
isters' meetings because he was
the pipeline to Senator Vanden-
berg that kept a fire from being
built behind them in the United
States Senate.
In the fall of 1948 he was
with Secretary of State Marshall
at a Big -Four meeting in Paris.
The foreign ministers attending
were just as sure that Gov.
Dewey was going to be elected
over President Truman as many
Americans were. And they were
also sure that Mr.. Dulles was
going to be the Secretary of
State. They forced him into
a position of acting Secretary
for the next administration.
Mr.. Dulles was getting in
quiries about the dismantling of
German plants and continuation
OF aid to Turkey. among others.
He would send his recommended
tions by telecon to his brother
Allen, who was on the Victory
Special" campaign train, for
Gov. Dewey's attention and AL
len would send back Gov, Dew
ey's decisions.
On November 3, the, day, after
the election, Vishinsky and Po-
lish Foreign Minister Katz-Suchy
gibed at him across the council
table. Sol the Thought he was
Secretary of State. they said. He
had better go back to his Wall
Street law Office. a climate bet
ter suited to his talents. they
said.
It was more than even a
buoyant character could take.
Mr.. Dulles was feeling mighty
low. Then Secretary Marshall
came back to the United States
to undergo an operation and
President Truman appointed Mr..
Dulles acting head of the dele
cation.
Mr.. Dulles wrote in his book:
THAT was a fine and generous
gesture, made at the moment
of victory toward one of the
defeated opposition. I was, and
always shall be. grateful for this
action"
Named Senator in 1949.
Gov. Dewey appointed Mr..
Dulles Senator in 1949 on the re-
tirement of ailing Robert F.
Wagner, who had been unable to
occupy his seat in the Senate for
many. many months. The whole
deal Of Senator Wagner's retire.
ment was calculated to put his
Republican successor at the
greatest disadvantage in retain
ing his seat. He had to stand for
election in the fall. There was
mayoralty election in New York
City that would bring out the
Democratic vote and no excite
ment in Republican upstate 9TH
er than Mr.. Dulles could make.
In addition he was faced with
the best runner in the Demo-
cratic stable. Herbert H. Lehman.
