Organization to Liberate World Trade

T HERE are times when the task of rebuilding a stable world order appears to be impossibly difficult. But the obstacles before us, serious as they may be, should not be permitted to obscure the progress that has already been made. And that progress has been great. The United Nations has been established; the General Assembly, the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council have already met. The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration is caring for millions of the needy victims of warfare. The Food and Agriculture Organization, dedicated to the improvement of standards of nutrition throughout the world, has held its first meeting. The International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development will be in operation within the next few months. Steps have been taken to set up a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and an International Civil Aviation Organization. Our Congress has increased the foreign lending power of the Export-Import Bank. It has increased the authority of the President to reduce tariffs under the provisions of the Trade Agreements Act. We are developing the programs and organizing the institutions through which the nations can work together, side by side, to reconstruct a shattered, world. For so much in the way of concrete achievement, in so short a time, there is no precedent in history. Much has been done; much remains to be done
