Republican's Critique

John Foster Dulles, Republican internationalist who, as Tom Dewey's representative, enabled Cordell Hull to take Dumbarton Oaks out of politics, made his principal pre-San Francisco speech in Manhattan. He demanded that the San Francisco Conference make two essential improvements on the Dumbarton Oaks plan--which he called a plan without a soul. "My first proposal," said he, "is that the organization should be infused with an ethical spirit, the spirit of justice. . . . The charter should require the new organization, as its first order of business, to undertake the difficult but essential task of developing conceptions of justice by which it will be guided. Only thus will it survive."

Foster Dulles' second point: the procedure for amending the organization charter must be liberalized; none of the Big Five should have the right to veto the admission of new members.
