We cannot cut ourselves off from what goes on in the rest of the world. And we ignore it at our peril. Earnest American concern over the role of the United Nations is thus made more important by recent atomic, missile and satellite developments. Unless we are to stake our whole future on American staying power in a catastrophic struggle for survival, the way must be found to maintenance of peace and security through some kind of international agreement.
