The most important human organization on this little planet is the United Nations, Dr. Robert Davis, professor of law, told the Collegiate Council of the United Nations last night.
UN Most Vital Group to World, Professor Says.
"There are a lot of people, a minority, trying to destroy the United Nations. They are either not informed or they have been misinformed." Dr. Davis said. "There is no other way for the human race to go on and for civilization to continue without the United Nations."
Dr. Davis quoted President Eisenhower as describing the United Nations as a matter of "s he e r necessity." Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. delegate to the United Nations, was quoted as saying "if the UN didn't exist today, we would have to invent it."
"Too many people are finding fault with the organization of the United Nations. I believe the UN is nearly as perfect as it needs to be at the present time." he said. "The difficulties are in the people, not in the UN charter."
"Only narrow, self-destroying.
selfish ideas stand in our way. We need to learn more about the world. Many people are only now learning where Indo-China is. Many people do not know that the shortest way to the Far East is by going north. They should read Anne Spencer Lindberg's book, 'North To the Orient.'
The United Nations is at work to remove poverty, ignorance, hunger, and disease, he said:
"The United Nations started out to relieve those strains, and in that direction it is moving. Today
two-thirds of the people living in the world are hungry," he said. Some are starving. Things cannot be changed overnight, they take time, but they can be done."
Discussing some of the problems to be worked out, Dr. Davis mentioned the regulation limiting the General Assembly from discussing any domestic problem. "When people from India moved to South Africa, they were mistreated there."
