This cavalier solution would amount to leaving Asia to the Communists, for weak countries cannot fight with dollars, untrained troops, and especially without the active support of the United Nations to redress the disparity in strength. That they who advocate this policy believe that nations either in the process of birth or taking their first steps would risk their national lives by hooting at, say, China when the United States and the UN has discarded them, is a sickening commentary on their approach to foreign policy.

...Assembly, which fears, with some reason, that a rearmed West Germany cannot be kept indefinitely in contractual confinement. Yet the writing on the wall was plain: if the French failed to ratify the European Army, the U.S. would inevitably rely more & more on Germany, less & less on France, to redress the imbalance of power between East & West.

One is that there are too many juniors and seniors on the Council already--most of the appointed members are upperclassmen--and that eliminating two juniors would redress the balance. Another is that the Council's total membership should not be increased lest it become unwieldy. But the necessity of leaving open channels by which experienced men can be re-elected far outweighs the other considerations. The Council needs more such members, and it should not hesitate to expand itself to get them...
