Speech entitled "The Commonwealth and the World Today". Louis St. Laurent speaks from England to Canada about the world political situation for the Conference of Commonwealth Prime Ministers.~He describes the failure of the hopes of the Allies for peace after the war because of the intransigence of Russia and says that NATO is a necessary shield for Europe.~He talks on the Korean conflict and goes on to say that the real purpose of the Western alliance is to prevent war. The role of the Commonwealth, he says, is to create a bridge of understanding between East and West, the rich nations helping the poorer. <13mn>
