More than 3.000 separate meetings were held last year during conferences at the Palais des Nations alone. Much of what goes on In those meetings is undramatic and. therefore. little reported. But out of these sessions have come programs for improving health. raising agricultural standards. expanding education. increasing trade. utilizing outer space satellites for communications and weather forecasting. training manpower in industry. aiding refugees. helping in disaster areas. and inching toward world peace. Although some still sadly recall Geneva as the scene of the Illfated League of Nations. it also has been the scene of major conferences to keep the peace: The Indochina Peace Conference. 1954. the Big Four Summit Conference. 1955. the Laotian Conference. 196162. For many years the United States. along with other nations. has worked patiently and persistently toward feasible disarmament.
