Abstract
IT is probably true to say that the prestige of the United Nations Organisation has fallen as much in twelve months as that of the League of Nations fell in as many years. Disillusionment and bewilderment are as widespread as the realization that, for all such disappointment, the diagnosis of the founders of the Organisation remains correct. It is still true that Western civilization cannot indefinitely sustain the strain imposed upon it by the conflicting interests of the Great Powers.
