Today and Tomorrow
- by WALTER LIPPMANN
j U. N. O—BEFORE AND AFTER
Any one who would work for
peace must have in his own mind
' some working conception of how
| peace can be made. He must have
an orderly view of some system
and pattern which he believes men
can take through the complicated
maze of the world as they find it
in 1946.
So I am venturing to sketch a
system and pattern of peacemak
ing. I make no claims for it ex
cept that I have found it useful
myself, and that it may be useful
to others if only as something they
can criticize, refine, or replace.
In this sense any general concep
tion, however crude and insuf
ficient, is better than none.
We must recognize, it seems to
me, that, first, there are works of
pacification which must be done in
order that U.N.O. may operate;
that, second, there is the work that
U.N.O. is designed to do; that,
third, there- are works that can
now be begun and should be de
veloped which look beyond U.N.O.
For convenience we may cali
these three phases of the peace
making pacification, international
co-operation, and the formation of
a world state. But although we
must distinguish them in our think
ing, we must realize, I believe,
that we have to work in all these
phases, at once. For they overlap
and are interrelated. 1
This will become clearer if be
fore going any further we define
concretely each of the three phas
es.
rne worK or paciiication is con
cerned with the establishment of
lawful and effective government
in those large areas of the world
where it is wanting. The United
Nations Organization has been set
up as an association of sovereign
and peace-loving states. But in a
large part of Europe, and in much
of Asia, there were millions of
people at the end of the war who
had no government which was
both sovereign and peace-loving.
The Germans had no government
at all. The Japanese had a gov
ernment which we could not treat
either as sovereign or peace-lov
ing. The smaller states of eastern
Europe and the Balkans, which had
been occupied and then liberated,
had no more than provisional gov
ernments. Italy has only a weak
provisional government. China has
a legally recognized government
but its authority is not recognized
by large numbers of Chinese. Even
France is still midway between a
provisional government and a fully
established legitimate government.
In the region of empire over the
dependent peoples which extends
from the Middle East across In
dia, Burma, Indo-China, the Neth
erlands Indies, and the Philippines,
there ia-dittle-'tfcat emb be called
settled and accepted government
authority.
What I have called the phase of
pacification covers the work of es
tablishing reasonably efficient, re
liable, legitimate government in
all • of these lands. They cannot
play their part in the United Na
tions Organization except as they
have the benefit of recognized and
effective governments. Their mis
ery can be relieved a little, but
there can be little more than that
in these lands until there are suf
ficiently effective and acceptable
governments to ma'ntain law and
order and to administer programs
of rehabilitation and reconstruc
tion.
We shall be less confused and
discouraged, and more lucid about
the immediate issues of the day, if
we see clearly that we must pass
through the phase of re-establish
ing government in areas where it
has been utterly destroyed or par
tially undermined by enemy occu
pation, by our victory, by abdica
tion of the former rulers, by their
internal weakness and corruption,
and by deep unrest and the desire
for something better than what
existed before the war.
The United Nations Organization
can not and need not wait until
this work of pacification has been
completed everywhere. Far from
it. But it cannot begin until the
work is fairly well advanced in
enough nations that play a great
part in the world. The United Na
tions Organization needs more than
the Big Three. In Europe it cer
tainly needs France, and enough
of the smaller states to make Eu
rope itself truly represented.
The immediate mission of U.N.O.
is to bind together the nations
which do have working govern
***^iivo against me Gangers wmcn
are inherent in the fact that for a
long time to come there will be
rich and unsettled regions of the
world—particularly in the Middle
East and Asia—where authority is
in dispute and cannot soon be
firmly and legitimately established.
The peace-keeping function of U.
N. O. is to see to it that the un
settled regions of the world do not
become arenas of mortal conflict
among the great powers. • The
strain on its peace-keeping func
tion will diminish only in so far
as we succeed in promoting the
re-establishment of legitimate gov
ernment where it is now lacking,
and that includes Germany and
Japan.
The mission-of U.N.O. is, in ad
dition to peace-keeping, to pro
mote the infinite varieties and pos
sibilities of trans-national co-oper
ation which make for well-being
and for culture, regardless of mili
tary power and national prestige.
The greater this work the better
will be the environment in which
man can do the work of pacifica
tion which precedes U.N.O., and
the task of peace-keeping which is
U.N.O.’a special mission.
' <
There ft, then, the third phase,
which we have named the forma
tion of a world state. I do not
think we can or should now con
ceive it is calling for the forma
tion of a world legislature and ex
ecutive. There is much to be done
before any foundation exists upon
which a world government can be
erected. That is the work of cre
ating a supra-national regime of
law under which individual per
sons gradually acquire rights and
duties. In my view the apparatus
of world government cannot be
set up successfully until mankind
has become habituated to a regime
of world law.
It is not necessary to have a
world legislature in order to enact
world laws. Thy can be made by
treaties and conventions and by
courts. There was a common law
before there was a parliament in
any recognizable modem form, and
in my view the development of a
common law of the world, enforce
able by national and also by in
ternational tribunals, and by pub
lic opinion, would be the true be
ginning of a world state. I would
expect the world state to come into
being long before there was any
such thing as a full world govern
ment, elected by all the people of
the earth.
In this sense and in this direc
tion we must, I believe, move be
yond U.N.O. Just as it is impossible
for U.N.O. to operate if we fail in
the pacification which must pre
cede it, so U.N.O. will lack soul,
purpose, and vitality unless we
are working within it, through it,
and beyond it, for something great
er than U.N.O. That something
greater can be nothing less than a
world state of law to which all in
dividuals, including the rulers of
national states, are subject—under
which they have duties, to which
the yare accountable if you com
mit world crimes, in which they
find added protetion for their per
sonal rights as human beings.

Study Of Presidential
Succession Proposed
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—(U.R>—
Several Democratic senators today
proposed a joint Senate-House com
mittee to study dhe problem of
presidential succession.
They hoped the committee’s rec
ommendations would be so exhaus
tive they would end a growing
controversy over who should enter
the White House in event of the
death of both the president and
vice-president.
Interest in the succession ques
tion rose sharply as result of Pres
ident Truman’s recent airplane
trip from Washington to Missouri
in stormy weather. At about the
same time, Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes, next in line for
the presidency, was flying back
from Moscow.
Mrs. Mauldin Requests
Order To Retain Son
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4.—/JP)—A
Superior court order prohibiting
her husband from taking their two
year-old son from the state is re
quested by Norman Jean Mauldin,
22, entranged' wife of cartoonist Bill
Mauldin.
She asserted the artist had
threatened to remove the boy,
Bruce, and asked support pending
trial of Mauldin’s suit for divorce.
Placing her husband’s income last
year at $200,000, Mrs. Mauldin pe
titioned for $710 monthly.
POW’S TO REMAIN
FOR SERVICE HERE
German prisoners will remain
here indefinitely, according to
Capt. R. H. Hazel, commanding of
ficer of the POW camp here.
There are 305 prisoners now in
the local camp, Hazel said yest®*‘
day. All of the prisoners are work
ing in sawmills, pulpwood indus
tries and on the farms.
Four contracts have been let
with farmers of the Castle Hayne
community, Hazel said, for em
ployment of the prisoners in gen
eral farm work. A. Slagle, John
Leeuwenburg, Otto Leeuwenburg
and A. Loreck, all farmers m
Castle Hayne, have prisoners at
work on their farms.
“Contracts are being made only
on a day-by-day ' basis,” Hazel
said, “because we have no assur
ances as to how long the prisoners
will be here.”
Hazel added, “I expect we will
be here for several months.”
County Agent R. W. Galphin re
vealed that no pressing need for
farm labor exists at the present
time. The season is a compara
tively slack one for farmers, he
said, with the harvesting of win
ter vegetable crops the biggest
item of work.
At the peak of the camp's activi
ty, more than 500 German prison
ers were made available to private
employers.
Both gold and iron rings were
worn in early times by the Per
sians and the Hindus.
