Empire   Must   Take   Lead
In   Making   Better   World
SANDRINGHAM, Eng., (CP)-
Queen Elizabeth, in her traditional
Christina's Day broadcast, called on
her people to take the lead in
making "the world a better place."
Speaking from the Royal country estate here where the Royal
Family spent the Christmas holidays, she said:
"The Christmas message lo each
of us is indivisable; there can bc
no peace on earth without goodwill toward men."
Stressing that "for all of us,
each year is an adventure into the
unknown," she declared:
"Our new explorations are into
new territories of scientific know*
ledge and into the unknown regions of human behavior.
"We have still to solve the
problem of living peaceably to*
gether as nations and as people.
"We shall need the faith and
determination of our forebears
when they crossed unchartered
seas into the hidden interiors of
Africa and Australia, to guide us
on our journeys into the undiscovered realms of the human
spirit. . .
"We must adventure on if wc
are to make the world   a better <
place ... ]
place ... All my peoples of thc [
Commonwealth and Empire havc!
their part to play in this voyage'
of  discovery.    We  travel    altogether . . .
"Indeed a large part of (he
world looks to thc Commonwealth
■ for a lead. We have already gone
far towards discovery for our-
scluves how different nations from
north and south, from cast and
west, can live together in friendly
brotherhood, pooling thc resources
of each for the benefit of ail.
"Everyone of us can help in this
adventure. For just as the Commonwealth is made up of different
nations. So those nations arc made
up of individuals. Thc greater thc
enterprise, the   more   important
our personal contribution . . .
"Scientists talk of chain rcac
tion of power releasing yet mort:
power. This principle must bc
mosl true when it is applied to th?
greatest power of all: Thc power
of love."
In conclusion, the Queen de
' clarcd: "As this Christmas passes
j by, and time resumes its march, let
us resolve lhat the spirit ol
jChristmas small stay with us at
■ wc journey into the unknown yea!
that lies ahead."
!    THe Juecn gave her radio mes
i sage before a holiday   party attended by three generations of the
Royal Family.
Earlier, with the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of tha
family shc attended Christmas
services in thc parish church and
was cheered by crowds in hei
only public appearance of thc day.

In his defence of the United
Nations, Selwyn Lloyd conceded
that the UN had" shortcomings.
"Certainly, (the United Nation,)
has its faults. 1 think its sessions
last much too long. Matters are
frequently discussed which are not
within its jurisdiction. . . .
"But what we have to remem*
ber is that every other method of
trying to preserve the peace of the
world has failed."
Lloyd was head of the British
delegation at the United Nation
from 1952 to 1954. ■
Lloyd said "it is the policy of
the government and all parties of
this country, that a world instru*
ment endowed with thc necessary
authority is (the only way to pro-
mole peace."
He added that "it would take
many vears to give that authority"  to' the Untied Nations.
