Clement Attlee, Prime Minister, sald at a rally of the United Nations Association here tonight that he shared the disappointment of those who had hoped for greater progress and greater unity In the United Nations Assembly and Security Council.
"But other activities give us greater cause for hope," Mr. Attlee continued. "At San Francis- co we sought successfully to develop the parts of the Charter that deal with the Econornic and Social Council. This past year has seen an immense amount of work done in its three sessions. There is a vast field of work covered by the UNESCO, the Food and Agricultural Organisation and commissions dealing with unemployment, Human Rights and many other subjects."
