Dr. Koo Declares
Unity Purpose
Of Conference
By SHIRLEY PETERS
The main purpose of the San
Francisco conference is not to
solve particular international prob
lems, but to get together the na
tions of the world so that they may
set up an international organiza
tion on the principles of Dum
barton Oaks, declared Dr. T. Z.
Koo at the assembly Thursday in
McArthur court.
Dr. Koo, who is adviser to the
Chinese delegation at the confer
ence, explained that the big ques
tion of the conference is: “Will the
San Francisco conference produce
an organization better than the one
after the last war?”
All nations must give up their
national sovereignty if any world
organization which comes out of
the conference is to be successful,
he said, and they must give au
thority to the world organization
in the process.
For the world organization to
succeed, Dr. Koo declared, the
world court must have both ad
visory and mandatory powers so
that a decision made by it will be
obligatory to the nations involved
in any dispute. The old world court
could only tell nations what they
should do, but neither force them
to bring their disputes before the
court, nor to follow the decisions
made, he explained.
An important decision resting
with the conference is the matter
of providing the world organiza
tion with some kind of armed force
to enforce judgments and to aid
any nation whose freedom is in
fringed upon, Dr. Koo said. Two
choices could be made: giving the
organization the right to call up
the armies of any member nation
for duty when necessary, or form
ing an international army perma
nently under the power of the or
ganization.
What is to be done with depen
dent areas and colonies is another
point before the conference, Dr.
Koo said, expressing the hope that
they would be put under an inter
national trusteeship instead of be
ing merely mandated, which, in his
opinion, would not accomplish any
thing.
Speaking of the future world or
ganization, Dr. Koo declared: “No
matter what we do, if we cannot
write into it the basic human rights
then it will be a sorry lesson for
the conquered peoples of the
world.”
Introduced at the assembly were
Queen Joann and her court.
