I Members of the Salem Junior Chamber of Commerce at their Tuesday luncheon, heard C. B. McCullough, chairman of the Salem planning commission in a talk on the important tasks which lie ahead in the future of Salem. Young men should very definitely be interested as they are the ones who will be called on to carry out the plans in future years, he declared. These plans, he said, cannot be made in a short period but must continue over future years.

Emphasizing that Salem will, grow to 75 or 100,000 population, McCullough said the city must prepare for this growth to combat patchwork expansion. Other highlight of the program by the planning commission will be the problems of transportation including water, air, rail and highway, expansion and beauufi-cation of parks and playgrounds, a survey iof. possible improvements and, additions to public buildings. All of these phases of planning Germany. After seeing the show, By Educators Those whose families can find a place to live The state board of education.

I ami ready to agree with them except that I think the GIs themselves and their excellent band music are as interesting as meeting here Tuesday, discussed The World Charter Monday night the delegates' to the United Nations conference at San Francisco 'approved the final draft of a world charter and Tuesday representatives of 50 nations signed the document. The work of the San Francisco conference was concluded. The charter now goes to the several governments for final ratification. Begun on a high pinnacle of interest the conference sagged during the period of car- pentry work when the ideas of delegates clashed over just how the several planks should be cut and joined together. It suffered also from the news competition of the end of the European war.

Enthusiasm perceptibly oozed when differences among victors appeared in Europe. One by one these obstacles were overcome. The joiners labored until they built what ap-pears to be a structure fairly -well designed. The efforts of Harry Hopkins, of General Eisen- hower and of others helped ease some of the strains in international- relations. Competing headlines were set in lower line caps after V-E day.

The conference adjourned on a high note of satisfaction and of expectancy. It is well that the enthusiasm of the beginning was tempered in the progress of the deliberations. The wave of idealism which had built up popular demand for a charter for world peace needed to have the chilling douche of realism: the evidences of national ambitions, of fears and of suspicions. For they do exist. The larger international good must made to outweigh the' individual national instincts and interests to make the charter succeed.

That can come only by progress which seems painfully slow at times. Discussion of the details of the charter must await fuller study of the document itself and of the debates which attended the major decisions. This fact stands out, however, that the final charter is much superior to the initial draft "it. Dumbarton Oaks. There is greater recognition of the factor of justice through law and fan international court than appeared in the early document.

Provision for amendment or review of the charter is made, which seems a definite improvement. The fundamental human rights are given respectful rating in the world scheme. For these credit goes to those study groups and leaders of opinion who sought in the months after the meeting of Dumbarton Oaks to find practical ways of strengthening that instrument for "the government of nations. Prominent among these groups was the inter-faith committee of representatives of Jewish, Catholic and Protestant faiths whose recommendations seem to have been given cordial reception at San Francisco. The delegation from China was bold in its early proposals for alteration, and all these were considered when the redraft was made.

While there was sharp contention over the voting formula, which -was not materially altered from the original Yalta understanding, none, of the nations. was willing to jeopardize the final adoption of the charter by- stubbornly holding to a different opinion on the question of voting procedure. Theoretically, no one nation should have the right to veto united action to preserve peace. Practically no great power wants to be put in jeopardy by some alignment of nations against it. The formula seems to less importance than the spirit.

Nations can keep the peace if the great powers will it. Little nations do not start world wars save as their engagements involve friendly or enemy powers. San Francisco offers no guarantee of peace. It merely affords the mechanics by which, if the nations are so disposed, they may preserve peace. the most thing about the San Francisco conference was the experience of the nations in working together toward a common goal.

This was unique. There have been numerous- peace conferences before. The league of nations had its general assembly, though the 'United States was never represented. This was the first time when 'so many nations including "THE OEKMAN RECORD: A POUTI-CAL PORTRAIT," ky WUlUm Ebemstela (Farrar A Rtneliart; $3).

For once the nations did not lay their gatling guns on the table as they assembled' to negotiate. The senate in all probability will approve the charter. Our American delegation, remem- bering 1920, seemed apprehensive on this score and let this necessity influence their decisions. The Statesman has not had many fears on this point In the present mood of the country the senate would not dare to reject the charter; and the public is disposed to favor an even stronger charter than that which emerged.
