In his article on “ An International Police Force’’ (this Journal, April, 1943, Vol 37, p. 305) Admiral W. L. Rodgers assumes that such a force would be maintained by the United Nations against the Axis Powers.

10 The organization and procedure in the Council would have to weigh influence with a realistic awareness of the political inequality of States. At the present time nearly two-thirds of the world’s population is within the four principal United Nations. Probably each of these States should have a veto on the use of the International Police Force unless itself accused of aggression.
