Without such . force when
the North Korean Communist
aggression broke. the q. N.
hurriediy had to get one to-
gether, with the United States
supplying the bulk of it and
paying most of the cost. The
need for q regularly organized
and functioning international
police force in the u. N. was so
strikingly revealed at that time
that President Vincent Auriol
of France urged that steps be
taken Immediately by the U. N.
to establish one. But nothing
was done.
We are still without it at
o time when, II other means
are of no avail. the u. N. may
have to use force TO bring
peace and order In the Israeli
Egypt clash. Tacitly the State
Department has issued threats
of armed Intervention By the

would help to initiate II other

warned both parties. and the
