are being jotted down in the basement of a room that thai once sounded to the dull staccato thud of rubber so soled ed g gym y m shoes as the girls came tripping downstairs from the floor above to scamper into tho the showers P pull ull on their bobby socks a and nd oth other r strange accoutrements which distinguish the modern female collegiate le legi ate it is during a lull in the session of the security council of the united nations there are arc no bobby socks present but there are some rather solemn looking females here in the press loun loungo go along with their not so solemn male coun ter parts snatching a 0 pause that Is supposed to refresh I 1 hear the rapid flow of french some lutteral gut teral slavic singsong sing song chinese and liquid spanish in a corner Is a television set which at tho the moment reveals Ameri americas calm representative the white haired handsome ur mr stettin lus jug scratching his left car ile he la Is speaking and his words como come over the loud speaker the camera moves and wo we see the delegates ono one after another some listening some whispering for Stettin fus has stopped and the loudspeaker is translating his words into 1 french I 1 havo have just gone over these notes and etheri that formed the basis of later broadcasts from the studio which looks down on the council chamber I 1 am seeking in them an answer to the question which has boon been asked of me many times since I 1 have bien been here in new york a question that perhaps you would ask too it if we could reverse the sound waves and lot let the listener speak and the speaker listen la 13 the united nations really going ingao to get anywhere first let mo me admit that as I 1 write we are walking a tight rope between two crises either of which might wreck us or might be forgotten by the time these lines reache reach the printed page sand band of course the tha rock upon cupoo which tho united N nations a alons may flounders floun derf Is the veto most people dont understand the veto Br briefly icly it Is the right of any of the big powers permanent members of the executive council to say noa toche 1 discussion of tiny any matter which said power want raised 0 u power poteet politics still in in force in other words power politics Is still in forve force and the only advance we havo have made to Is that compromise which Is the all democratic action antioni act ionI Is the only possible solution of controversial quest questions tons the undemocratic alternative belof power powel which in this case may bet bei exercised without the will of the majority the right of the veto I 1 Is is as was brought out in ift a recent university of chicago roundtable round table discussion really the Insist erice on the expression of natio national lial sovereignty the sovereign right of ona a nation conation tion if lt it get ge R mad enough to pro gate organized savagery ov agery of war we can it Is true never hope for any permanent peace until wo we are willing to yield that sovereignty sovereign ty to a a higher authority which e expresses the wll will of tho the majority of all ped peoples tia I 1 at present ho has s lic not t b been cit grant granted ed that authority but the there re Is hope which I 1 have watched grow as international proceedings ce move forward under the impetus of a will to peace and the implementation ot of ever growing publicity which creates the understanding to bolster bolster that willit la is this as the united nations con to discuss those jiose matters which are not affected by the veto as it deals with social end and economic problems as it plans to do such a I 1 strong public sentiment can bo built up behind it that nationalistic world minorities cannot stand up against it there if that hope there to Is on an other atomic energy As chairman corbett of the de part apartment ment of political science of yale university put it when it comes totham to that con arol of atomic energy 1 I think that them the discrepancy between the ahe legal situation in the sunhe UN ho refers to the power of the veto and the nationalistic insistence on and the actual needs of international collaboration ere are going to become so so glaring that we are going to have to make a dl di attack upon this problem of the veto the key word to that remark Is glaring the needs of international collaboration must glare in the light of pitiless publicity the light of 0 understanding must be shed upon tho the truths of what another war will mean and it must bo be more than light heat must be Incandesce incandescence nse world sentiment must rise to the degree at which it creates the energy necesis necessary ary to bring action i peace must become dynamic positive thinking of youth needed it if you lean can back in your seat hero here in this fabricated conference room of the security council of the united nations und forget you are lust just a reporter y you ou get an almost awesome feeling that you are arc witnessing a major operation which will decide the life or death of some great and beloved person it Is all so new so strange so much depends on success not the life of a single person but the lives and happiness of thousands it Is hard to convey the atmosphere of the tragic solemnity that I 1 if f camera Cani erit snaps i at hunter college with iranian nag flag lil in background surrounds this place when we strip bitof it of its outward casualties T hope Pope that uro the importance of this part of the great experiment in ere cre abing world sentiment against war Is getting homo to tho the people I 1 wonder how much of the significance ance of the part public opinion plays in the success of this effort was impi impressed essed ain on that gathering of students

this war halt half of them 21 and voters s the generation which must benefit or suffer from tho the re suits of efforts of the united nations this la Is a positive approach in con 1 to the negative credo of pacifism which has been taught in the post past pacifism says DONT FIGHT well ell all right if its your youra religious conviction but when war arrives conscientious objectors cant stop it perhaps they can stop the tha one AFTER that but its the next one we lantto want to prevent now fire prevention slops more fires than firemen can removing the firemen wont help somebody has to be put in their place lets hope the young people can carry back to their campuses the message general macarthur gave to the world recently that nations must yield their sovereign reign power to make marthat war that sovereignty must rest in an international body and incidentally if the people who write me asking what they can do to work tor for peace really mean it they might organize similar youth congresses in their own communities get youth thinking they are the ones who have to do the fighting |
