the nations were united. china, russia, france, britain, and the united states led the people of the world as they launched the rules of international law and a bill of human rights, a rule of law they believed no nation, large or small, would dare defy. the united nations was set up, a tribunal empowered to mediate international disputes and to enforce its decisions. soon this machinery was put to the test. in indonesia and elsewhere, people felt the desire for independence and control of their own destiny. this had been seen in the united nations' charter. a republic of indonesia had been set up, embracing a large part of the island empire, which had until then been under the rule of the netherlands. civil unrest broke out in the republic and the other islands. although the netherlands had recognized the new republic, differences arose and the dutch began military operations. in july 1947, the hostilities in indonesia were brought to the attention of the security council of the united nations. the council i

i think it's in the best interest of the united states and the world as a whole that the united states negotiate rather than go back to the cold war relationship with the soviet union. i don't look at the picture as bleakly as you have indicated in your question, mr. trewhitt. i believe that the united states has had many successes in recent years, in recent months as far as the communist movement is concerned. we have been successful in portugal where a year ago it looked like there was a very great possibility that the communists would take over in portugal. it didn't happen. we have a democracy in portugal today. a few months ago -- or i should say maybe two years ago the soviet union looked like they had continued strength in the middle east. today, according to prime minister rabin, the soviet union is weaker in the middle east than they have been in many, many years. the facts are the soviet union relationship with egypt is at a low level. the soviet union relationship with syria is at a very low point. the united states today, according to prime minister rabin of israel, is at a

the man who had helped weld to the united nations together as a keeping team and worked to them unitedthe peace to come had died before he could see his dream come true. but his words were in every mind and heart. pres. roosevelt: 25 years ago, american fighting men looked to the statesman of the world to furnish the work for peace for which they fought and suffered. we failed them. we failed them then. we cannot fail them again and expect the world to survive again. van dyke: president truman, roosevelt's friend and successor, opened the conference by radio from washington. pres. truman: delegates to united nations conference on international organization, it is not the purpose of this conference to draft a treaty of peace in the old sense of that term. this conference will devote its energies and its labors exclusively to the single problem of setting up the essential organization to keep the peace. you are to write the fundamental charter. van dyke: as the delegates broke up that first night, the task before them was clear -- to chart the course toward realistic international cooper

if ireland rose up against the british empire and the united states had signed this, would the united states have any commitment? external aggression. it would not. okay? but i want you to look at this. this is a extremely controversial part of the versailles peace treaty. it's the shantung controversy. shantung had been an area of china which germany had taken over in 1898 and when germany took over, it applied the doctrine of extraterritoriality so if a german businessman raped and murdered a chinese woman, the chinese police couldn't touch him. only german police operating there could touch him. well, when world war i began, japan was an ally of great britain. so japan declared war on germany, occupied a bunch of german possessions in the pacific, and then took over the shantung peninsula and then at the versailles peace conference, woodrow wilson realized for a couple of reasons he needed japan's support for the treaty so he said to the japanese, what's it going to take? the japanese had a great idea. they said, we want one small little thing. we want a racial equality clause in t

they were united in the conviction that the united states should have a defense second to none in the. they were all men who hated war and were dedicated to peace, but not one of these five sxhen no president in our history believed that america should ask an enemy for peace on terms that would betray allies and destroy help for the united states all over the world. [ applause ] and as your president i pledge that i shall always uphold that proud bipartisan tradition. standing in this convention hall four years ago, i pledged to seek an honorable end to the war in vietnam. more will be coming home. we have ended america's ground combat role. no draftees are being sent to vietnam. we have reduced our casualties by 98%. we've gone the extra mile. in pafact, we've gone tens of thousands of miles to seek a negotiation in the war and we have a cease-fire in exchange for all prisoners of war, internationally supervisedy from elections with the communists participating in the elections and in the supervisions. there are three things we have not and will not offer. we will never abandon our p

united states but during the. bilateral relations between russia and the united states i think that these public information is it's course actually and i think that russia has no any interest like iran by the way nor any interest in that link or interfering into internal minister netted state is it not feasible though that even if it were not the case that russia was intentionally meddling in terms of trying to push one candidate over another that if it was able to at least intimate that it had the capability of interfering in the election process and therefore sold over the election process itself that that was something that russia along with any other government to fight might feel the need to do it would take action on. well how could you imagine actually that russia is so. despite the always so they gave russia could physically of let's say using the so-called hack us computer hackers would interfere would be meddling with their united states election process at the basis i think this is just impossible beca

and the united states is at peace today.what is more moral and foreign policy than for the administration to take the lead in the world food conference in rome in 1974? when the united states committed 6 million metric tons of food over 60% of the food committed for the disadvantaged and underdeveloped nations of the world, the foreign administration wants to eradicate hunger and disease you in our undeveloped countries around the world. what is more moral for the united states, under the ford administration, to take the lead in southern africa, in middle east. those are initiatives in foreign policy which are of the highest moral standards and that is indicative of the foreign policy of this country. >> yeah, can we stick with morality? for a lot of people seems to cover a bunch of sins. mr. nixon, kissinger used to tell us that instead of morality we have to worry in the world about living with and letting live all types of governments that we didn't like. north and south korean dictator 's, chilean facets, chinese communi

iran continued to sell oil to the united states. i believe that it's in our interest and in the interest of israel and iran, and saudi arabia, for the united states to sell arms to those countries. it's for their security as well as ours. ms. frederick: mr. valeriani, a question for president ford. mr. valeriani: mr. president, the policy of your administration is to normalize relations with mainland china. and that means establishing at some point full diplomatic relations and obviously doing something about the mutual defense treaty with taiwan. if you are elected, will you move to establish full diplomatic relations with peking, and will you abrogate the mutual defense treaty with taiwan? and, as a corollary, would you provide mainland china with military equipment if the chinese were to ask for it? mr. ford: our relationship with the people's republic of china is based upon the shanghai communique, of 1972, and that communique, calls for the normalization of relations between the united states and the people's republic. it doesn
