"Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has delivered a strong warning that an American-led war against Iraq without United Nations approval will damage the only organization that is a counterweight to

.During a question-and-answer session with university faculty and students here yesterday, Chrétien was asked, "Will the U.N. survive the Iraq crisis?"

"I hope so," he replied. "And it's not only to avoid a war that's a very high priority but we have to think of consequences if there is a war outside of the U.N.
