shall further propose cooperative
efforts in weather prediction and
eventually weather control. We shall
propose, finally, a global system of
communications satellites linking
the whole world in telegraph, telephone,
radio and television. The day need
not be far away. when such a system
will televise the proceedings of this
body to every corner of the world.
VII.
But the mysteries of outer space
must not divert our eyes or our energies
from the harsh realities that face our
own fellow-men. Political sovereignty
is but a mockery without the means to
meet poverty, illiteracy and disease.
Self-determinátion is but a slogan if
the future holds no hope.
