[EDITORIAL NOTE: At this time when continued attention is being directed to a review of the Charter of the United Nations, it is suggested that a proper review should include an examination of the indirect as well as the direct consequences of that body's deliberations. This article traces a development that took place both within and without the halls of the United Nations, the most recent event having occurred outside its framework. This article is especially interesting because it may provide an insight into a future role of the United Nations, appropriately to be considered when its Charter is reviewed.]
