MAIN IDEAL OF U.N.
Assessment By Delegate
(Rec. 8 p.m.) OTTAWA, October 6. Sir Gladwyn Jebb, Britain’s chief delegate to the United Nations, said today that after seven years of accomplishment, the main ideal of the United Nations was much further off than most people imagined. Addressing a Canadian Club luncheon at Montreal, he said that it was clear now that the United Nations itself could not provide for the safety of Western peoples, nor would it help to try to force the Soviet Union out of the United Nations in order to transform that organisation Into an anti-Soviet body.» Nevertheless, Sir Gladwyn Jebb said, the example of Korea had shown that even if the Security Council were blocked by the Soviet veto, the United Nations could take collective measures against an aggressor. Although it might go through many vicissitudes, he said: "I think the United Nations will grow into something more nearly in accordance with our visions and our dreams.”
