Great advances have been made since 1946, but the pace must be stepped up.

Lipson, professor of political science at University of California, Berkeley. Lipson cited Nehrus reput- ation as a statesman of world stature and the great respect he holds throughout the world. The next Secretary-Genera- l should be someone Nehru is close to and whom Nehru approves, he stated. Lipson explained that the problem of choosing a suitable successor to the late Dag Hammarskjold is augmented by the fact that it is considered unfeasible to choose an- other European for the posit- ion. Hammarskjold was from Sweden, and his predecessor, Trygve ' Lie, was from Norway. proposal as ridiculous, Lipson emphasized that it must be defeated. In order for the United Nations to remain strong, Lipson said, it must have forceful, effective leadership. He added that the only office that can provide this leadership is that of the Secretary-GeneraTherefore, he stressed, it is important for the sake of the U N to maintain the strength and integrity of the of the Secretary - Generals position. To do so, it must remain with one man. Lipson also expressed a certainty that Red China would eventually be admitted to the United Nations. The argument in favor of admittance of Red China is one of realism and prudence, and not necessarily one of apIt proval, Lipson stressed. is normal procedure to grant recognition to the government that is actually in control of in the UN, in which the Nationalist government would represent Formosa and the Peiping regime would represent the mainland.

Lipson added his support to Describing the Soviet trioka a possible two China policy Of President Eisenhower, President Truman, President Kennedy, Adlal Stevenson, and Justice William O. Douglas have recognized the need for making the UN truly capable of preventing war and settling disputes peaceably. President Kennedys recent UN speech, in which he called for a permanent UN Police Force, has been the most recent example. But to provide the President with the firm public support to take the initiative in achieving such policies, eminent men in all fields must rally to his ban- ner. Few men are more eminent in their fields than Edward Teller. Few men could accomplish as much as he by leading public opinion to demand the creation of effective peace keeping machinery through the United Nations. As UN Day approaches this month, let us hope Edward Teller will ponder the role he might play in brightening the future of that body, and thus of mankind in general.
