11 YEARS OF UN
VER since men came out of the caves, ever since they started forming social groupings--the family, the tribe, the nation-they have needed and have used the services of the go-between, call him what you will: emissary, ambassador or diplomat. The noted French scholar de Maulde-la-Claviére put it this way: "Diplomacy is as old as the world and will perish only if the world perishes." Because it expresses the social needs of man, diplomacy has expanded with those needs. It has developed continuously both in outlook and practice, in ethics and methods. In an age of atomic fission and economic fusion diplomacy is more necessary and more comprehensive than ever. These points are made in The Diplomat, a programme to mark the 11th birthday of the United Nations, which will be heard from YA stations and 4YZ at 9.30 a.m. on Sunday, October 14. The Diplomat presents a composite account of the birth and growth of diplomacy, covering a span from the cave men to the United Nations-an organisation of 76 nations "pledged to harmonise national interests internationally
and to seek peace through diplomacy." Well-known people who will be heard telling this story include the actors Sir Lawrence Olivier, David Niven, Basil Rathbone, Francis L. Sullivan and Akim Tamiroff. y
