Show Some Good Advice Without any wish to belittle the future of the United Nations, Field Marshall Viscount Alan-Brooke, Alan-Brooke, Chief of the British Imperial General Staff during the war, suggests that the defenses de-fenses of the Empire be strengthened streng-thened until the United Nations can take over. The Field Marshal says that the U. N. is in its infancy, suffering suf-fering from serious teething troubles and will inevitably require re-quire many years before reaching reach-ing maturity. Only then will it be able to "make its influence felt as a guardian of peace." We think that the British leader is giving the people of his Empire some good advice. It takes cognizance of the troubled state of the world and the present weakness of the so-called international police force for peace. Until this becomes be-comes a reality, it is wise for free peoples to prepare to defend de-fend and uphold their freedom. |
