IV. ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE:
V. WORLD ORGANIZATION: Mr. taylor expressed tha view that in the post-war
period a real effort must be made to establish a world organization, for,
with modern means of communication, the world has become small and no
nation can safely separate itslef from the rest of the world. His
Excellency suggested that this new world organization might be formed
somewhat along the lines of the League of Nations, but with wider
participation and with the necessary power to enforce its decisions. Mr.
Taylor stressed the importance of this power of enforcement, explaining
that without it there is no assurance that any world organization will
function properly or be able to to guarantee enduring peace or justice.
cardinal Maglione, mentioning that the Laegue of Nations had, indeed,
failed inits task, agreed that the solution of the great problem seems to
lie in the direction of world organization and that some kind of an
international police force might be the best guarantee, once a just and
equitable peace has been concluded.
VI. WORLD COURT: Considerable thought is being given too, Mr. Taylor
said, to the eventual establishment of am international court, whcih
could be caled upon to give an unbiased decision in the many minor
disputes between antions- disputes which, because they are not settled,
often lead to more violent disagreements and even to war. Cardinal
Maglione approved of the plan.
