Truman Credits U.N. With Staving Off War in Decade
Former President Truman told a Senate panel the United Nations has staved off unlimited warfare in the past ten years and urged broader U.N. use by the Eisenhower administration. He warned against inflexible demands to change the charter and favored presenting current peace threats to the General Assembly while expanding U.N. aid and disarmament efforts. He noted Red China’s rejection of U.N. talks, defended U.N. aid programs, and pressed for draftable citizens to bolster defense obligations.
