Today the United Nations is primarily the protector of the small and the weak, and a safety valve for the strong.
Tomorrow it can form the framework for a world of law--a world in which no nation dictates the destiny of another, and in which the vast resources now devoted to destructive means will serve constructive ends.
For we seek not the worldwide victory of one nation or system but a worldwide victory of man.
Today we still welcome those winds of change--and we have every reason to believe that our tide is running strong.
