SAN mancrsco, June 2e -i

(AP) - President Tlrlunan brought? a. historic assemblage oi 50 United. Nations to a. close today with the declaration that it had “created a great. instrument for peace and sec- urity send human progress in the WTlfld."

But now the world must use it. the President said, otherwise “we shall betray all those who have died in order that we might meet {more in freedom and safety to create

t " .

r As President oi‘. tih¢‘&iiii:d3tmte he promised that the charter oi a new world organization dedicated to preservation of peace will be sent to the Senate “at once," and urged speedy ratification by other nations.

Throughout his address ran the th-sme that the charter o1 this new vzorld league is only on instrument, a machine that was built from un- ivexsal d-eslres that never again shall the world be engulfed in vmr. It isn't perfect, Mr. Truman said. and there must be a will among nations to use it well.

Transform Vlords Info Action

“Upon all of us, in all our coun- tries." the President said, "is now laid the duty oi transforming into action these words which you have written. Upon our decisive action rests the hope oi those who have fallen, those now living, those yet unborn —- tlhe hope for o. world of free countries —— Wit-ll decent stan- dards oi living — which will work nnd co-operate in a friendly civ- ilized community of nations.

The charter, Mr. ‘rruman said. | was the result oi a spirit of give- ‘ and-take, of tolerance oi the views

and interests oi obhlcrs. It was

proof, he declared, that nations, l like men. can find common ground i on which to stltnd.

It must be recognized, he con- tinuled. that no one nation, no group of nations. can or should ex- pect any special privileges which harm any other mtlons.
