Minister, "the alternative is the continued menace of war indeed the probability of a devastating war Which Will destroy much of our civilization.,, Both Major Attlee and Lord Cranborne, Leader of the House of Ldrds, emphasized that they would go to Sani Francisco with open minds, but they held out no hope, of a drastic change in the pro- posed constitution of a world se- curity organization. The public was advised to expect no miracles of perfectionism1, but to have pa- tience, rilderstancling and faith in ithe efforts Of the Allied'nations to, find a workable formula for peace. The underlying worry of Mem- bers of Parliamenit and peers was the same as always-that the pro- 'Posed voting procedure would ex- empt any one of the great powers from disciplinary action by the world security organization and that small Powers conversely would be imposed upon. The Earl of Perth went so far as to call this arrange- ment "legally and morally wrong,"' although bhe admitted it was the necessary prike of an agreement. Major Attlee and Richard Law, Undersecretary of, State, upheld the voting procedure as being, ba~sed on realities and 'not legal fic- tions, while Lord Cranborne as- serte'd that small nations wouldl have an equal responsibility with the great. powers in the sense that their participation was essential to success. 5Still, members showed .only "Ftepid enthusiasm,' as Ivor Thomn-
