PLAN IMPERFECT,
BUI GIVES HOPE
New York, March 17 (U.R)
The Dumbarton Oaks propo
sals for a world security organi
zation are neither complete nor
perfect but they represent at
this time the greatest possible
measure of agreement among
the big powers, Undersecretary
of State Joseph C. Grew said tonight.
Speaking to the annual meet
ing of the Society of Friendly
Sons of St. Patrick on St. Pat
rick's Day, Grew emphasized the
danger of expecting perfection
in the world organization at the
start.
"No plan is perfect," he said.
"Every plan is capable of amend
ment and improvement, includ
ing our own constitution. Yet no
responsible person has ever ser
iously suggested that we scrap
our constitution and start anew,
or that we rebuild the whole
structure on different lines.1
He outlined two other factors
to be remembered in connection
with the San Francisco confer
ence next month
1. The machinery of world
organization itself will not solve
all problems.
2. The San Francisco confer
ence is not a peace conference
and will not deal with specific
territorial, reparations or simi
lar problems.
"The one great purpose will
quite simply, be to draft the
charter of the United Nation
that is, to establish machinery
to maintain the future peace and
security of the world, as outlined-
in the Dumbarton Oaks
proposals," Grew said.

Portland, Ore., March 18
(U.R) Means of reducing the dan
ger of hazardous work at the
Conscientious Objectors Camp
at Waldport, on the Oregon
coast, were under discussion at
the camp today following dis
closure of the death of a former
Chlcagoan.
A News Release received here
from the Waldport Camp No
56 stated that George Moyland
30. formerly an accountant at
Chicago, suffered a crushed skull
March 8 while engaged in fell
ing dead trees in the Siuslaw
National forest.
The News Release, which did
not quote any eamp officials,
said that the death provoked
considerable discussion among
the camp assignees as to the
hazards of that type work. Few
of the assignees have had ex
perience qualifying them for
dead tree felling, which experi
enced woodmen regard as par
ticularly dangerous, according to
the camp report.

10,000,000 military and civilian
casualties since the war began,
or more than 28 per cent of her

the Polish press bureau reported
tonight.
The bureau said that the cas
ualties, which included soldiers
killed, wounded and taken pris
oner and civilians deported, in

land's losses greater, compara
tively, than those of any other
of the United Nations.
