Looks like the great divisions have made their way into the UN once again.....the world has become one huge field of unyielding divisions. Setting the stage perhaps for “the man” who will have all the answers.......people are ripe for it.
How do you account for the fact that the United Nations Charter follows the format of the Russian (USSR) Constitution of 1936 rather than the format of the (Covenant of the) League of Nations? Would you feel there was any significance in the fact that the general secretary for the organization which drew up the charter was Alger Hiss? …The UN was the soil in which such seeds were to be laid in the first place, never mind cultivated.
