Since that body is not in perpetual Session, though "so organized as. to be aple to function continuously, 2? it will have to entrust the routine of control, including inspection, either to such an existing subordinate agency as the Military Starf Committee or to a specially created subordinate body, Clearly the continuous function of inspection cannot £ - a yoke ery af s be subject to veto; and one advantage oftreating it as a technical, écministrative matter handled by a body other than, -thoydh responsible to, the Security Council is that, if this is done, no guestion of changing voting rulcs estab- lished with great difficulty need arise. On the other hand, any question of enforcement against a nation found to be violating the control regulations will have to be dealt with by the Security Council. Unless the veto of permanent members is abolished, no enforcenent can operate against them or against their client states, In a world that has learned how to make and use atomic weapons, as before, the security of all will depend or. the good faith of the great powers or on such strength as each nation can muster from its own or allied resources.
