International Situation Greatly Improved —Lie
(Received 1 p.m.) MONTREAL, September 25. THE Secretary-General of UNO (Mr Trygve Lie), addressing the ILO conference, felt that the international situation had greatly improved recently. He acknowledged that differences among the Great Powers alarmed people, but these differences were inevitable, as after the First 1 World War when frontiers were redrawn. Mr Lie said he did not want to excuse the lack of agreement; it was vital to mankind’s future that no nation should ever despair of agreement. The United Nations was founded on the assumption that there would be agreement among the powers. The veto right in the Security Council prevented the United Nations acting as a referee among the five major powers and imposed on those powers an obligation to seek agreement. Mr Lie believed the powers realised this.
