UN's 13th Birthday Draws Faculty, Student Comments
Thirteen years ago today, on Oct. 24,1945,the United Nations was established in San Francisco. The UN has done a lot since 1945 but it appears to have a long way to go to achieve world understanding and peace.
Yet many people are comforted by the thought that nations are still able to talk about their problems, despite the Formosa Strait crisis and memories of the Korean War.
In observation of the UN's 13th birthday, The Daily Kansan interviewed two faculty members and a student for their opinions of the importance of the role the UN has played in international affairs.
Robert D. Tomasek, assistant professor of political science, said he thought the UN has had some success in helping to settle lesser disputes.
"Constructive work has also been done in the economic and social spheres through agencies as UNESCO and the International Labor Organization," Prof Tomasek said.
Exchange Viewpoints He. continued
He continued:
"Finally, the UN has provided a meeting ground for the exchange of national viewpoints, giving a certain amount of prestige to some of the newly created nations in Asia, the Middle East and Africa."
Prof. Tomasek said he thinks it doubtful that the UN could overvent a major war. As an example of this,
he said that most of the discussion regarding the Quemoy and Matsu issue in the Formosa Strait has taken place outside the UN.
He said the emphasis on regionalism has drawn attention away from the UN in many respects.
"One could well argue that a regional unit like the Organization of American States is not only better suited but has already accomplished much more than could ever have been expected from the UN." Prof. Tomasek said.
Survival Fortunate
"The UN's effect on international affairs has been good, and it has provided a valuable meeting place for the world powers" he said.
Peter J. Caws, assistant professor of philosophy, said that he considers it very fortunate that the UN has survived for 13 years.
Prof. Caws said, however, that he thinks the usefulness of the UN is seriously impaired by its failure to recognize Red China, a country which represents a large portion of the population of the Eastern world.
"The recognition of Red China by the UN would not be an endorsement of the type of government it has," he said. "We should recognize the leaders of such an important country."
"The function of the UN is to put the people in power together to discuss issues, and not to decide who should or should not be a member on moral grounds." Prof. Cwss said.
Manouchehr Fedram, Tehran, Iran. graduate student and president of the International Club, said that it is significant that the UN has lasted 13 years, because it is the
Survival Significant
Pedram said he thinks the trend in relationships among nations leads to the desire by all nations for some type of world government. Even if another world war should end the UN, he said, a similar organization would be formed as soon as practicable.
only organization in the world which can work on the world's problems.
