The District will have to make
another cut In its relief grants
unless there is a drop in the

Aid to dependent children goes

though half of them are living
in the District. Mr.. Shea pointed
out. This situation costs the
District $166.685 a month or
81 SAC. 220 a year, he said.
The welfare director told the
council that payments are being
made in 7,436 cases of all cate
gories OF public assistance. This
represents 1928 persons, and
the cost is running $4,000 a
month over the estimate made
last year. he said.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Jan.
3O.-Henry Cabot Lodge. jr..
United States Ambassador to
the United Nations. came to
this restored Colonial capital
today to tell the Virginia Gen.
eral Assembly of the role the
U. N. is playing to preserve
peace.
IF war came in spite of the
United Nations" he said, lit
would then be the indispensa BILE
instrument for repelling the ag-
gression-which is probably one
reason why the Communists
don't leave it,"
The General Assembly, the
oldest representative legislative
body in America, dropped its law
making duties in Richmond to
hold ceremonies concentrating
its first meeting here in 1704.
Known then as the House of
BurgeSSeS and the Council, the
legislative group even then was
nearly 100 years old. having
transferred here from the Vir-
ginia colony's first capital at
nearby Jamestown, where it
first began meeting in 1919.
Notes Historic EnvirOnS.
Ambassador Lodge took note
of his historic surroundings when
he said: Here, in this old Colo
NAL capitol, are symbolized events
which gave birth to this country
events which are still as fresh,
as vivid and as contagious as
they were when Patrick Henry.
standing in this very place, spoke
out
Applying this background
against the modern scene, MIR.
Lodge added:
Every day that goes by sees
brave men coming through the
Iron Curtain at the risk of their
lives in search of freedom be-
cause. like Patrick Henry, they
prefer death to slavery"
After reviewing the purpose of
the United Nations, which is pri-
marily to preserve peace. Mr..
Lodge drew a clear distinction
between the international group
and a world government organ
ization.
Warns of World Union Schemes.
He said that those who insist
on schemes for world union or
world government do more harm
than good because, like some one
feeding fried potatoes to a new
born baby. they are trying to ram
something down the throat of
the world which it cannot digest.
IF any one of the Is colonies,
at the time of the American
Revolution. had had a view of
life as different from the rest
of the world as the view of the
Soviet Union is different from
the free world today. there
would have been no United
The United Nations is not a
world government. 1t cannot
impose a tax of any kind. It
cannot draft a single soldier"
Further on he explained:
There is only one organ of the
United Nations which can take
action which is legally binding.
That is the Security Council.
and there the United States is
completely protected by the
veto. None of the other things
the United Nations can do are
anything but recommendatory."
He pictured the international
body as a forum for the ex-
change of ideas between nations,
for mutual understanding of
problems and for the molding
of public opinion, particularly
against aggreSSorS.
