Meeting at such a time, the delegates' first concern was to find ways of keeping the peace. They opened the U.N. charter with a ringing declaration: "We the peoples . . . determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war . . ." But when they got down to the details, the delegates proved to be hardheadedly nationalistic. The U.N. is universal, or is meant to be, and all nations "large & small" are assured of "equality"-but Big Power dominance (specifically, the veto) is built into the U.N.'s constitution. No nation gives up sovereignty to the U.N.; none would and none...
BUDGET-BUREAU reorganization can save the U.S. $4 billion annually, says the Hoover Commission, which says that under current procedures "there is no effective control over expenditures either by the Congress or by the executive branch." The commission recommends that the Budget Bureau apply the accounting and financial methods of U.S. business to its job, wants it to pay more attention to budgeting yearly Government expenditures on a strict cost basis, and less to preparing mere estimates of proposed expenditures...
However, the situation is not as black as it looks. For purely economic reasons, U.S. industry has been doing a great deal of dispersing on its own.

In 1937, during the bitter, G.M. sitdown at Flint, Mich., he helped to organize the seizure of a key building and stop production...
...have made $10 million without one dollar of risk, and I am proud of it," said Young. Countered Lehman: "Certainly there is a very grave question in my mind whether a stock can be legitimately voted by people who have not any real ownership of that stock save as there might be an equity if the market advances . . . That deal, which you described as clever, seems too clever by my old-fashioned standards." At one point, Bob Young could take it no longer. Bounding to his feet, turning to newsmen and spectators in the caucus room, he cried: "I would...
