When acting in concert, they have the resources, power and ability. However, they have only four votes out of fifty-nine. This, in large degree, explains their possession of the veto prerogative. This misuse of the veto by Soviet Rus-| 7 sia should not blind us to the obvious advantages of such an arrangement. Only through concerted action of the larger nations ¢an the United Nations , function as it was intended to operate. It is better for the organiation not to undertake a questionable task rather than to plunge into it with the larger nations divided and antagonistic. There is another phase of the opera- tions of the United Nations which should receive the attention of the people of this country. Most of the members, regardless of all the talk about the four freedoms, do not seriously apply them at home. Moreover, what is generally referred to as the Anglo-Saxon civilization is shared by not more than ten of twelve of the members, In addition, the membership is broken up into a number of groups acting through something of a mutual self-in- terest. This would include a Latin bloc, a Near East bloc, an Asiatic bloc, a Com- muniast bloc and some other delineations. So long as the United Nations con- fines itwelf to the general peace of the world, which is obviously in the interest of all the nations, and seeks to prevent aggressive attacks upon free nations, it can hope to move, in the future, with soli- darity. Whenever it dips into the domes- tic business of the various states, regard- legs of motives, it treads on dangerous grounds.
