Many Problems At Meet

All over the United States,
eyes are turning westward
these days to the gathering of
nations at San Fancisco.
There, while the war moves
toward its bloody end, men and
women are planning for peace.
Their task is to set up a world
organization that will work, a
United Nations partnership to

To keep these freedoms for
ourselves, we have fought cost-
ly wars and made many sacri-
fices. To destroy them is the
first objective of tyrants every-
where. By concocting "super-
