Two Basie Problems
HIS plan is intended to reconcile the two basic problems which proved difficult of reconciliation in the.Covenant of the League of Nations and which are to-day perhaps even more difficult to reconcile,
It is to meet the first of these probe lems-the need to give the four major powers scope for their present military action-that I have proposed to give them direct representation in the provi- . sional executive council; and further to make it necessary that their votes be cast affirmatively before any action is taken by the executive council, The second problem-to give full re. presentation and protection -to the interests of the smaller nations-will, I believe, be met by building the world organisation upon a foundation of regional systems. By giving each region full representation in the executive council, and by guaranteeing to the council supreme authority, any trend toward regional antagonism and any tendency to use the regional systems for the aggrandisement of an individual power should be successfully combated. The provisional United Nations executive council should come into being as soon as the protocol providing for its creation has been ratified by at least 20. states, members of the United Nations, including the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China, and the U.S. Provision should be made within the protocol for the adherence of other sovereign states, not originally members of the United, Nations, subsequent to the termination of the presenf war.
