Speaker Sees Goals NE*
PRESIDENT Local Veterinarian
Addiesses Convention
No Overnight Task
One of Canada's five official dole -
gates to the United Natigus and a
member of the federal legislature
for Huron -Perth, Andrew Y. Mc-
Lean 'outlined purposes, some
points of conduct and prospects of
the IJN before 125 members of the
Seaforth Agricultural Society at
its annual meeting last Friday eve-
ning in Cavan Churehe Winthrop.
Prior to, his guest address, Mr.
McLean, who has linen associated
With the fair board- for over 25
years, said it gave him great plea -
,sure to see such men as Dr. F.
Barbtun honored. (Mr. McLean
was 'referring to the presentation
of 'a certificate of merit to Dr. Har-
burn by the Society. & full report
of this part of the program appears
elsewhere in this issue).
In speaking of the activities of
the United Nations, Mr. McLean
explained the assembly's purpose,
the layout of the building, and how
the 'business was conducted. He
Said the speechea were given in five
languages—English, French, Span-
ish, Russian and Chinese—and all
were translated immediately by
mechanical arrangement, thus there
was very slittle delay in proceed-
ings.
Russians Unsociable
The Russian delegatee, he said,
closely resembled ourselves in ap-
pearance and dress, except that
they wore very long overcoats, and
were quite unsociable, especially
She junior members—the advisors.
The older members appeared more
open-minded, but no Russian dele-
gate associated socially With other
delegates.
We think of the Russian bloc as
the obstacle to overcome, but
there are others, and the UN is
doing much to remedy this. They
can and do stand behind their
ideas and have avoided mistakes
made by the old League of Na -
Pions."
Be believes the UN will eventual-
ly reach the goalie, they have set
for themselves—but not overnight.
If we are prepared to do our part
and support the UN, "that, plus de-
fensive measures, will ieventually
do much to bring about a demo-
cratic world. We must. prepare our-
selves for the long pull, which leads

many years to come.
