10 sensible, o reasonable, o
REALISTICALLY PRACTICAL
Hint it gives us new hope tlmt
the San Francisco conference
may be the beginning of some
thing BETTER In the world.
U KIMS lit tho heart of II:
1 "Wo ill have to rceognlre
no mutter how ureat our strength
Hint wo mint deny ourselves
lite license to do always si we
please. No one nation, no region
al group can or should expect
any special privilege wiucn
harms any other nation.
' "If any nation would keep
security ior Ittelf, It mutt be
ready and willing to SHARE
J1 SECURITY WITH ALL. That
' li the price which each nation
will have to pay lor world
peace,"
nRIMITIVE cave man had
LICENSE to kill hli neighbor
and take over Ills cave. But
the neighbor had equal license to
KILL HIM and TAKE OVER
I1IS CAVE. Tho result of all
thin license wan a primitive
tribal society ruled day and
niimt bv fear and foreboding.
It wai to get away from thin
crushing day-and-night fear and
foreboding that law and order,
tint on a tribal and thon on
nat lonnl scale, were established
Law and order Involved the
tilvina up of personal license to
kill and rob. but In return for
tills price they conferred vastly
greater PERSONAL SECURITY.
WK'RE tackling now the Im
" menu task of extending that
system to the WORLD. You
won't eo it finished. Your
children wont. Your grand
children, at best, can see only
the beginnings or Its successful
functioning.
But without a beginning there
can be no accomplishment.
OHN H1GHTQWER, of the AP,
J who has been at San Fran-
Cisco from tho start, sums up
for us today the realistic at
titude of the nations and their
delegntes who. In their final
sdcccIics. he says, hammered
over and over again on theso
memos: ;
' 1. The conference . has ex.
ceeded expectations in produc
ing better cnartor than any
body thought It could.
2. Tho charier provides for a
good piece of machinery but
whether It preserves internation
al peace and security depends on
HOW PEOPLE USE IT.
3. The nations gathered at
San Francisco have conquered
many difficulties to como to
their final agreement and now
have closer friendship and un
derstanding than ever before.
THE League or Nations wus a
beautiful concept. The
TROUBLE with It was that we
became lost In admiration of tilts
beautiful thing wo had concolved
and did nothing further about it.
We thought world peaco was
hero because we had mndo an
entrancing plcturo of it to LOOK

since then.
Much NEED
LESS blood. The world has
been swept by terror and sorrow
and agony. NEEDLESS terror

Tho agonies wo liavo endured
have saddened us and MADE

While no concrete develop

its is believed in Ankara that
Turkey will sound out opinion

in the meantime. It is expected
that Foreign Minister Hasan

talks with Prime Minister Chur

from the San Francisco security
conference.
Few developments affecting
Turkey since the start of the

quarters have remained silent,
it is possible to state on reliable
authority:
During discussions prelimi

Turkish-Russian pact of friend

Truman Warns World
Charter Only First
Step Toward Peace
Br JOHN F. CHESTER '
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27 (fP) President Truman sent weary
authors of the new world charter homeward the world around
today with stern admonition that "if we should falter in the
future in our wljl to use it, millions now living will surely die."
Addressing the glittering closing sesiion of the world security
conference, the chief executive pounded repeatedly late yesterday
on the theme that the drafting of the charter was only a first
step. Gesticulating, he declared, "the world must now use it."
"The time for action is now," Mr. Truman asserted. "Let us,
therefore, each in his own nation and according to its own way
seek immediate approval of this charter and make it a living
thing.
"I shall send this charter to the United States unite at one.
I am sure that the overwhelming
country ana oi tneir represei-
tatives in tne senate is in lavor
of Immediate ratification.
The president was interrupt
ed frequently By the applause
of delegates from all SO of the
United Nations. One of the loud
est bursts came from the seats
of the smaller nations nations
which in some instances had
claimed the new instrument
gave too much power to the
larger countries when he de
clared: "We all have to recognize
no matter how great our
strength that we must deny
ourselves the license to, do al
ways as we please. No one na
tion, no regional group, can or
should expect any special privi
lege which harms any other na
tion. If any nation would keep
security tor itself, it must be
ready and willing - to share se
curity with all. That is the price
which each nation will have to
pay for world peace.
"And what a reasonable price
it is.
"Out of this conflict have
come powerful military nations,
now fully trained and equipped
for war. But they have no right
to dominate the world. It is
rather the duty of these power
ful nations to assume the re
sponsibility for leadership to
ward a world oi peace.
Mr. Truman praised the dele
gates for the job they had done
in creating "a great instrument
for peace and security and hu
man progress in the world."
But he conceded that "no one
claims that it is now a final or
a perfect instrument." Like the
American constitution, he said,
it would have to be "expanded
and improved as time goes on."

As the total idle continued to
grow steadily, a CIO union offi

to accept honorable surrender.
