handle is hein.ali/hrbor605311 and id is 1 raw text is: 45 EAST 65th STREET, NEW YORK 21, N. Y. April 18th, 1946 Mr. William Draper Lewis 3400 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Mr. Lewis: I am very glad indeed to have word of your acceptance of membership on the enlarged Committee on Human Rights. In view of the fact that the United Nations Commission on Human Rights will meet on April 29, it is important that this unofficial American committee should proceed at once with its program. There is another reason for action in the immediate future and that is the fact that the peace treaties are in the process of formation and that definite and special conditions should be attached to them with reference to the guarantee of human rights. The Executive Committee at its last meeting took steps toward the fulfillment of this program. In the first place, we are drafting a document for submission to the American member of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, In the second place, proposals for human rights clauses in peace treaties and in the trustee- ship agreements which are being prepared. A state- ment on this subject is enclosed. Any suggestion or comment which you may have, both as to the objec- tives to be obtained and the methods of achieving them, will be gratefully received by the Executive Committee. incerely yours, JAMF T. SHOTWELL
