international organization, he
guided the United Nations
through tense and difficult pe-
riods. Bringing wide experience
in law, labor relations and for-
eign affairs to the post of Sec-
retary-General, he helped shape
many events vital to every In.F.-
man being in the world. During
his tenure of office, the United
Nations after prolonged and of-
times heated debate voted for
the partition of Palestine; and
the establishment of the State
of Israel.
Though empowered b_y the
Charter to bring to the atten-
tion of the UN's Security Coun-
cil "any matter whiCh in his
opinion may threaten the main-.
tenance of 'international peace.
and security," Trygve Lie only
once called upon all UN mem--
bees to resist aggression:. in June
1950 when South Korea was in-a
vaded by ` Communist hordes
from the North..
Trkgve Lie's Respomibilities .
: As administrative head of the
United. Nations, Mr..Lie was re-
sponsible for 'the smooth fun.c-
toning of an enorynotiS; nevi',

four thousand people are devot-
ing their full time. It was his
duty to supervise hundreds of

sernbly,'and cOuntleSs gatherings -.
of 'the 'various Cornmittees, each
of which handle part of the gi-
gantic task that rests upon the
world's peace organization 'as a .
Whole. Moreover, he acted as
inediator in many frictions be-
tWeen member states, trying to
discover (and often succeeding
in finding) a solUtion to dis-
putes before they brought about
a critical situation.
Still Hopeful of World Peace
Though during the yearS "in
which he guided the United Na-
tions, Trygve' Lie faced many
moments in which it seemed
that the great powers would
never achieve harmony on a'
great many burning issues, he
has amply demonstrated that
he never lost hope for the
eventual peaceful solution of
world problems. When receiving
the AnnUal Peace Award of the
World Veterans Federations,
some time ago, he said that,
though it is clear the UN can-
not bring an easy, quick' cure of
all the world's evils, it can de- '
termine how -to create condi*
tiOns forty lasting peace and hap.;
piness everywhere.
