Comments of the Chilean Delegation on Chapter IX
of the Dumbarton Oaks Proposals which contemplates
the croation of an Economic and Social Council.
The post-war programs of the United Nations and the
speeches which have been heard at the Conference make it
evident that all the countries attach fundamental im-
portance to international economic cooperation for the
maintenance of peace. The Chilean Delegation is of the
opinion, therefore, that the functions and powers of the
Economic and Social Council to be established should meet
such expectations and that this organization should be
given power to assume the responsibilities incumbent upon
it in accordance with the expressed ideas above.
The Dumbarton Oaks Proposals do not consider all the
adequate provisions toward such end. Consequently, the
Chilean Delegation presents the following comments:

Section A could be worded as follows, or in a similar
way:
"with a view to the creation of necessary con-
ditions of stability and well-being and to the
promotion of concerted action toward creating more
material conditions in all countries for ensuring
international tranquility, the organization should
concern itself permanently with studying the eco-

nature and other international humanitarian prob-
lems which may be presented to it, and promoting
