Nations Day today.
UN Secretary-General
Sends Special Message
In answer to a request for a United Nations message to the
Student Body of Pasadena City College, we have received the
following communication:
A great poet of the last century once said that he alone
merits freedom and life who knows how, daily, to justify
his claim. This United Nations Day we have reason to
remember the truth of this as men interested in the progress
towards peace and order to which - - - — _
the conflicts of present day inter¬
national politics. In the efforts to
resolve those problems, the United
Nations has a crucial responsibili¬
ty. Let us prove that we are able
to see far, and to judge with cour¬
age and equity. Then we Shall be
able to develop the organization
we have created to the powerful
instrument it should be. Then
wo shall merit freedom and life
as the reward of our -efforts to
meet the challenge of the inter¬
national conflicts of our time.
We are conscious on this day,
not only of the challenge of our
difficulties, but also of the chal¬
lenge of our opportunities. The
difficulties in the way of interna¬
tional cooperation are real. But
the opportunities are also great.
The great advance towards uni¬
versality of membership in the-
United Nations has made the or-
ganzation more representative of
the several interests of the world
community than ever before, and
capable of wider and more effec¬
tive action to reconcile those in¬
terests for the common good. And
our material progress has given
us greater power to heip each
other than previous generations.
We know that those forces in man
and the tremendous force of na¬
ture, which gave us the power to
hurt, can be turned to give us
equal powers to heal.
In observing United Nations
Day, may each of us reaffirm his
determination to play his own
part -in our effort to wrest free¬
dom and life from our trials, our
conflicts and our struggles.
Dag Hammarskjold,
UN Secretary-General
