“We believe that, to achieve such an end, there must be frank exchanges of views among the parties mainly concerned. We believe, moreover, that the value of these discussions will be in proportion to the strength of the countries taking part. We are well aware that, whatever our own preferences maybe, the existence of large groups of countries with vastly differing ideological and political Systems is a fact, and must be reckoned with an such. Negotiations and talks must therefore be accepted as the only means of arriving at formulae which would at least make it possible to establish a stable modus vivendi. With this idea in mind my delegation fervently hopes that such meetings may advance the cause of peace.”

“It was therefore natural that public attention should be focused on the meetings to be held between the Heads of Government of the United States and the Soviet Union, following on the talks recently held in Europe between the principal leaders of the Western Powers. My own country is not directly concerned with the matters which gave rise to those meetings; but in view of our desire to preserve peace, on which the survival of human life on our planet may perhaps depend, we feel bound to express our views with regard to such talks. 105. We are firmly convinced that negotiation is the right method for the settlement of international disputes, and we pledge our support to any measure likely to ease tension and provide a just and practicable formula for peaceful coexistence among nations.”

“Charles Malik, who so skillfully and tactfully conducted the discussions of the thirteenth session of the Assembly. The manner in which he discharged his high office during the past year confirmed the esteem in which he was held at the time of his election, and we wish to convey to him our appreciation and gratitude. 103. The international picture before us this year has special features that should arrest our attention; certain of these features may be viewed with optimism, others with justifiable alarm. 104. In the first place we must refer to the tension between the great Powers which, threatening as it does the peace and security of the world, concerns us all.”

“101. Mr. President, may I offer you first of all my most heartfelt congratulations on your election as President of the General Assembly. Your personality needs no praise in this Assembly-, where your voice has so often been raised in defence of just and noble causes. Suffice it to say that the Argentine Republic also considers itself honoured by the election of so distinguished a Latin American to preside over our counsels. My country wishes to express the sincere hope that God may inspire you in the fulfilment of your difficult tasks and to congratulate its sister republic of Peru on the signal honour bestowed on one of its most illustrious sons. 102. I should also like to take this opportunity to pay a tribute to our retiring President, Mr.”
