done with complete impartiality, and that is
hat I think was done in the Congo. And that
s what will be done by the UN az long as -the
retary General is Dr. Hammarskjo!d.
Also, Mr. Khrushchev's suggestion that there
should be three secretaries, each representing a
separate bloc, would destroy the UN. One Secre-
tary General must represent all the nations, and
all the nations must abide by the majority de-
cision.

In regard io Mr. Khrushchev's ether suger
tion that the UN be moved from New York. I
understand that Switzerland, for one, has no de-
sire to have the main international organization
there. Moreover, the important.consideration is
that in New York little by Hittie incilities to meet
the growing organization’s needs have been estab-
lished. New York is a center where all the means
ef communication are more available than they
-* are in almost any other city In the world, and
they are completely free. Moscow, which was
suggesied by Mr. Khrushchev in jest, I am sure, .
could not approximate elther the freedom or the
facilities that are available here.
‘The work being carried on by the organiza.
thon neefis to go on without interruption, and it
is = heavy Joad. And this could not be done if
there were a major move.
For these reasons both the suggestion te mov
and the idea of a three-headed secretariat
-not aimed at a more efficient and stronger or-
ganization, but perhaps a destroyed organization,
which was the fate of the League of Nations.
