INVESJ lN THE DEST loi VICTORY BONDS 11 The San Francisco Conferenet will be different, because ther( will be open parliamentary pro. cedure. The first real business oi the Conference will be to decidE who is eligible to sit. The nexi decision will be whether to accepi the Dumbarton Oaks draft as thE basis for discussion. This will, o. course, be carried. Then the Con. ference will begin to consider the whole report clause by clause. As e a c h comtentious clause arises the various delegations will be free to move amendments. The debates will be about these. The Big Fight Wiii Llkeiy Corne on these points: 1. (Chapter III. l)-"Member- ship shah be open to ahl peace- loving states."1 2. (Chapter IV, B. 1) - "The General Assembly shahl have the right to consider the general prin- cipies. . . to make recommenda- tions with regard to such prin- ciples. THE GENERAL ASSEM- BLY SHOULD NOT ON ITS )WN INITIATIVE MAKE RE- COMMENDATIONS ON ANY MIATTER RELATING TO THE MAINTENANCE 0F INTERNA- TIONAL PEACE AND SECUR- TY WHICH IS BEING DEALT VITH BY THE SECURITY COUNCIL." 3. (Chapter VI) - "The Secur- ty Council should consist of one representative of each of eleven riembers of the Organization... 'he General Assembly shahl elect six states to fi the non-perman- ent seats." 4. (Chapter VI, B. 4)-"ALL MEMBERS should obligate them- selves to accept the decisions of te Security Council and to carry Lem out in accordance with the Provisions of the Charter." (Chapter VIII, B. 5) - "ALL MEMBERS . . . SHOULD UN- DERTAKE TO MAKE AVAIL- A B L E TO THE SECURITY O7UNCIL, ON ITS CALL, and in accordance with a special agree- ment or agreements among them- elves, ARMED FORCES .... SUCH- AGREEMENTS SHOULD SOVERN THE NUMBER AND 'YPES 0F FORCES ... * * le The First Contentions point lsted above is, "What is a peace lver?"

Ail nations, except pos- ibly the Big Three, wiih oppose te gag-rule which would pre- ent the Assembiy from exercis- ig its full right of free speech. U onsidering the fact that its main lunction is to exercise free speech Iwould seemn to undermine its whole usefulness to restrict such ree speech to occasions when othing is at stake. Canada and some of thé other Middle powers" are likely t0 )ress for a change in the methôd )f election proposed in Point 3 ibove. One suggestion is that ,ree of the eleven seats be allot- ed to nine so-called middle pow- ýs-with elections for such with- nthe nine themseives. The Real Hert of The Peace lan centres around Point 4 tove. It would mean that in- tead of having what Mr. King ied to eall "no commitments" ;ery member of the Organîza- ion would have precise commit- nents. Canada, and other countries, ould bind themselves to provide Scertain quota of armed force, id material assistance, to help epel any threat to the peace. But hat would only be in carefully tfined zones. Our zone might be everything vest of Berlin and East of the 'inese coast. or it might be just Torth America. But wherever ur zone was there we would ,ve to pledge in advance precise iilitary action. er th t] Pl (C m C( ac laç Ip i 0c fi si th: te ir, t W] ab ti dc Pli ste ms MAPLE GROVE SCHOOL NE"~ (By Kay Lycett, Gr.

FROM SAN FRANCISCO For the Next Few Weeks My comments xiii be coming fron San Francisco. Like many thous- ands of other newspaper anc radio people I wîll be helping to "cover" the Conference. Most of the wartime confer- ences have been washouts so far as the press was concerned. The nature of the Roosevelt- Churchill meetings was such that they had to be held in strictest secrecy. That was even more true of Teh- ran and Yalta. But the gatherings at Dumbar- ton Oaks and Bretton Woods were even more disappointing to the press and radio. They cer- tainly showed how impossible, or premature, was Woodrow Wil- son's ideal of "open covenants, openly arrived at." Salem o y 2 ¶ ) il r DISTRICT NEWS Convinced of the need of an or- ganization with broader powers than are enjoyed by the Business Men's Association, Cobourg retail merchants voted Friday night to form themselves into a Chamber of Commerce. A plea for better postai service in Cobourg was endorsed by Co- bourg Business Men's Association Friday night, after hearing the requirements for house-to-house delivery, and data on the defici- ency of postai boxes at local post office.- The Association voted to endorse a movement to have the ICobourg post office raised from category 2B to grade 4.

He aid- ed the medicai officer to care for the wounded on the beach, and on the inland advance, paid particu- lar attention to nesting the wounded and ensuring that their locations were cleariy marked. Affer aIl wounded were attended to, he began to bury the dead, moving under enemy fire at times to recover bodies. "He is a true Christian and is admired by the whole battalion for his fortitude and gallantry," the citation con- cludes. The war of arms is between nations. The war of ideas runs through them.
