with the importance of its re

Knapp described the United
Nations organization, giving his
audience a personal conception
of the organization as he himself
has seen it. He ennumerated the
problems confronted by the
United Nations secretarial as told
to him by the Norwegian in
charge of the educational services
section of the department of edu
cation. One, he said, is the dif
ficulty in "obtaining personnel
who can work for the wages the
United Nations can pay."
Besides being able to do rou
tine work, he related, a secretary
must be able to speak his native
language, French and English.
"Great industries," he said, "steal
employees as fast as the United
Nations can hire tham." Two
other problems, Knapp said, are
political appointments and the
housing problem.
Knapp concluded his speech by
indicating the strength of the
United Nations organization. "The
leaders of the world today," he
declared, "are thinking that the
United Nations is going to last."
