UNITED NATIONS
YEARBOOK OF THE UNITED NATIONS, 1951, pubiished. by the Department of Public nited Nations, New. York, and available from United Nations Association of New Zealand, G.P.Q. Box 1011, Wellington. N.Z. price, £4/10/-. A WORK of this magnitude — 1030 "" Jarge-~pages, printed in double columns--cannot be expected to come out quickly enough to supply last-min-ute or very recent information. The new volume, fifth of the series, describes in detail the work of United Nations in 1951, though it. also covers the sixth session of the General Assembly, which adjourned on February 5, 1952. Much of the material has therefore been dwarfed in popular interest by the more difficult session during which the Secre-tary-General, Mr, Trygve Lie, announced his resignation. But the value of the reports remains undisturbed for students and historians. And the book as a whole is immensely valuable for reference. In addition to reporting the activities of UN in 1951, it glances at the history of the organisation, describes its structure and the functions of its major organs, and gives full attention to the work of the specialised agencies. A comprehensive index completes the Yearbook’s usefulness. Large though this volume may seem, it gives wonderfully condensed treatment to activities which .elsewhere are spread through innumerable reports. Only those who have discovered for themselves the documents which pour out from United Nations and its agencies will fully understand and value the achievement,
