lost others. He took rebuffs in good part and showed no desire to desert the conference, although one might have thought that from the dispatches of certain writers.
The San Francisco Conference has not settled all points of dispute, but while the fireworks were going off on the roof, the foundation of a peace structure was quietly being strengthened below.
That framework has now been constructed and San Francisco will be remembered for that success.
Mr. Molotov did not desert the conference at San Francisco, because the Soviet Union can afford to allow the foundations of peace to be destroyed. They can afford to do it, and we can afford to allow them to do it. The world simply can stand another great war. Is there any sensible person who thinks it can?
THERE CAN BE no doubt that organized business in the United States and Great Britain, and to some extent in France, not only fear communism, but are willing to organize to fight it. This is the meaning of the continual pinpricks at Russia at San Francisco! The petty dispute over the presiding officials at the conference; the lugging in of Poland, Austria and Trieste to divert and inflame public opinion; and the almost universal charge of American newspapers and magazines that Russia is petty, obstructionist, and dangerous to free enterprise On the other hand, the one Statesman at San Francisco who stood up for human rights and the emancipation of colonies was Molotov. Jlis words have scarcely been reproduced.
ere, then, seem to see outlined a third World Way based on the supression of Asia and the strangling of Russia. Perhaps am wrong. God knows hope am.
The world security conference which is coming to a close at San Francisco may not have accomplished all that was expected of it. It may not have given comfort to all quarters that sought relief from it. In the nature of the circumstances that brought the conference into being, a modern mira.
cle would have been wrought had the delegates arrived at a satisfactory solution for all the ills of eur suffering world.
To be sure no international conference whether for peace or suppression of opium is ever satisfactory to all concerned Greed, economic rivalry, conflicting political ideologies together with the everlasting desire of powerful states to achieve and retain world domination are forever conspiring against the noblest intentions of statesmen. The fact that civilization is periodically beset with wars is in itself conclusive proof of the failures of peace conferences and treaties.
While the wish for peace may spring from honest hearts and minds, such a wish is usually canceled when so called national interests are at stake. National interest may be anything from freedom of the seas, treaty obligations and territorial concessions to neutrality rights, strategic or geographic security and economic spheres of influence and so on.
It secms incredible that a civilization as old as ours should not have devised by now a workable pian of inter relationship that might guarantee equitable sharing of world goods without perenial bloodshed and, above all, without violating fundamental human rights.
In all fairness, it must be said that the United Nations meeting, despite many obvious weaknesses, has cleared the air for a more enduring peace structure. No doubt many of the issues raised will remain unsettled until a peace conference is called to reexamine them and deliberate upon their final disposition, At least the San Francisco conference has enlightened and awakened public opinion on a great in attendance at the conference but will not be permitted to take any part in the business there of UNITED LABOR SYNDICATES OF PANAMA Invitations have also been 21 22 JULY, 1945 extended to the President of General Labor Conference ference held in Philadelphia, the Costa Rican Central Labor of all labor organizations ope Cali, Colombia and LonOrganization, and the President rating on the Isthmus of Pa don, England.
