		One must not imagine that the offensive marginalizing of the United Nations and the cavalier contempt for international law which this administration has allowed itself to be guilty of, represent the expression of some necessary constant of American foreign policy.
		The United Nations suffers, apart from its want of funds, above all from a dependency on governments which, for their part, not only pursue their national interests, but are themselves dependent on the assent of their respective publics.
		For another, it is in the interest of the United States of America itself to make the UN capable of action before another, less democratic, great power rises to superpower status.

		Tho the networks all turned it down, it was sold on a city-by-city basis, and was aired in some areas as early as 1949.
