Abstract
second part of the first annual session of the United Nations General Assembly met at Lake Success and Flushing Meadow, in New York, from October 23 to December 16. Its first meeting had been held in London from January 10 to February 14. At the London meeting all the permanent organs of the United Nations, except the Trusteeship Council, were established. The New York meeting, therefore, was not concerned primarily with questions of organization, although these were not absent from the agenda. Some of the problems which it discussed, such as disarmament and the veto, will undoubtedly be recurrent themes of controversy at future meetings. It is impossible to pass any final verdict on the success or failure of the Assembly; for the tasks which face it are a continuing responsibility, not to be shirked without hazard to the cause of peace. But perhaps a review of what the Assembly accomplished and failed to accomplish will help show how it is measuring up to its duties.
