Rare original program from the closing plenary session of the United Nations Conference on International Organization on June 26, 1945, 6 x 9, signed on the cover in pencil “Harry S. Truman,” secretary of state “E. R. Stettinius, Jr,” British Ambassador to the United States “Halifax,” Prime Minister of South Africa “J[an] C[hristian] Smuts,” and Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia and later its King, “Faisal.” The cover is affixed to a 19.75 x 13.5 mat with a printed page identifying the 11 speakers at the event, ticket stub from the final session of the United Nations Conference on World Organization, and a rare original identification lapel pin worn at the conference, and framed to an overall size of 20.5 x 14.5. In overall fine condition.
Truman had been in the White House for two months and World War II was still raging in Asia—having only recently ceased in Europe—when the president attended the United Nations Conference on International Organization—a convention of delegates from 50 Allied nations that took place from April to June 1945. The goal of the conference was ambitious but necessary in light of the second world war—to create an organization that would establish and preserve peace. The convention resulted in the creation of the United Nations Charter, which was signed the same day as this scarce program. World events, however, would make the goal of a lengthy peace a dream rarely realized.
