Perfect Peace Unlikely, H. F. Williams Tells IR C
We must be prepared to iccept an imperfect international organization, but we must be determined to improve it in tbei decades to come, Dr. H. Franklin Williams told members of the Inter-tional Relations club when he discussed the San Francisco conference at the club’s meeting Wednesday night.
“How defective an organization we are prepared to accept is an
important problem now facing us,”	1------—--------
pr. Williams said, emphasizing that it might be necessary to accept some defects if we are to get any organization at all: The principal defects of the plan now under consideration as summarized by Dr. Williams are that it condones spheres of influence, gives too much power to great nations, and gives too much aid to nationalism for long term functioning.
Care must be taken, Dr. Williams stated, in presenting a plan that will be acceptable to the strong nations. We must recognize the existence of big powers.
“Any international organization must of necessity be a compromise between principle and power,” the speaker explained. “The working basis has to be designed for an international organization, but also designed so that all countries will put their power behind it. Wc can’t make it so pure, so free from flaws that the great countries won’t put their power behind it.”
Dr. Williams began his talk with a statement of the purpose of the San Francisco conference and an explanation of the international organization which is being considered there.	•
