Not one speaker had a word to say against UNICEF. Money was voted ta carry on the work among the world's children, with the name being çha.d to United Nations Cikirtens Fund. To Ensure Survival Attending UN sessions, the speaker had an opportunity to see what the nations of the world are trying ta do to ensure their own survival, "For make no mistake," Mr. James declar- ed, "that is fundamentally the choice which now faces us."' There are still nations which, if they weren't restrained, wouid settle international disputes by shooting first and arbitrating afterwards. "The restraining in- fluence is the United Nations," said Mr. James. The United Na- tions is the place where ail countries can state their case freely and without fear. Though Russia's obstructionist tactics Mnay to some extent be defeat- ing the purpose of the UN, at .east it is better to have those tactîcs out in the open instead of behind the Iron Curtain. The speaker told of the work done in the six committees of the UN wbich are really the "factories" preparing the goods for the "sbowcase"l of the Gen- eral Assembly. Canada's parti- cipation in the various phases of UN is remarkably comprehen- sive for a country of only 15 nillion, Mr. James stated. Led by Lester B. Pearson, the Can- adian delegation bas achieved a great deal of international pres- tige for its ability to work out compromises. Women In UN Mr. James spoke of the in- valuable work done by women in the UN, from that of the 2,000 :r so secretaries and clerîcai staff at one end of the scale, to the new president of the Gen- Lrai Assembiy, Madam Pandit, it the other. Madam Pandit, a member of parliament in India and a gracious and charming :erson, personified the position ) India in the worid to-day, Mr. Fames stated, through being ible ta interpret the West to he Far East.
