1. “It reports further that by the end of the year 120 airfields will be in operation as compared with the 60 NATO airfields available at the beginning of the year, and that, when that programme is completed, the construction of airfields will be continued. Here are some concrete figures. In the United States, military expenditures have increased from 43 per cent of the budget in 1947 to 73 per cent of the budget for 1954. According to the New York Times of 4 August 1953, the monthly output of military production now amounts in value to $4,000 million, as against $300 million in 1950-1951. 24.”

2. “According to the New York Times of 21 May 1953, General Ridgway declared that the European army would consist of 132 divisions, of which 60 were to be raised by the end of the current year and 72 by the end of 1954; while by the end of 1954 the air forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization would have 9,500 aircraft available. The United States Government has promised the Adenauer Government to arm and equip the twelve divisions now being constituted in West Germany. Amongst other types of heavy equipment, 2,360 tanks are to be delivered to Western Germany. Today’s issue of the New York Herald-Tribune reports that NATO is bringing one airfield into operation a week.”

3. “The General Assembly should declare the unconditional prohibition of atomic and hydrogen weapons and of all other types of weapons of mass destruction, and should instruct the Security Council to take immediate steps to prepare and implement an international agreement which would ensure the establishment of strict international control of the observance of that prohibition. 22. In the countries of the North Atlantic bloc the dangerous armaments race is continuing at an ever- increasing rate, undermining the economic structure of these countries, hampering the progress of humanity and increasing the threat of a new world war. Lest you think these are mere words, let me cite some figures. 23.”

4. “The United States budget for 1953-1954 contains an appropriation of $2,700 million for the production of atomic and hydrogen bombs. All these facts are evidence of the atomic armaments race in the United States with which American ruling circles are endeavouring to intimidate the peace-loving nations. 21. The progress achieved in research in the field of atomic and hydrogen weapons should strengthen our conviction of the need to put a stop to the armaments race and to prohibit these weapons forthwith.”

5. “It is also designed to counter the growing dissatisfaction with the present United States foreign policy, which is aimed at unleashing a new world war, a dissatisfaction which is perceptible among the peoples of Europe and even among a section of the ruling circles in the countries of Western Europe. 19. It is no accident, therefore, that Mr. Attlee, the leader of the British Labour Party, stated on 19 September 1953 that the foreign policy of the United States was the cause of the steady deterioration of the international situation and was very dangerous. Those were Mr. Attlee’s words. 20. At the present time, the United States is indulging in a frenzied attempt to manufacture more atomic weapons than anybody else. The American Press reports that a $9,000 million atomic industry has been built up in the United States.”

6. “By asserting that its Plan will lead to a satisfactory solution of the question of the reduction of armaments and even of the prohibition of atomic weapons, the United States seeks to camouflage its rearmament programme and its preparations for a new world war. This is confirmed by ® resolution adopted by the United States Senate on 17 July 1953 and communicated to all Members of the United Nations. You have read this resolution. Its purpose is to try to convince us that the United States is in favour of the reduction of armaments and the prohibition of the atomic weapon.”

7. “I think that the main reason for the Commission’s inactivity has been the United States delegation’s unwillingness to take part in — I might even say, opposition to — any discussion of the concrete proposals submitted by the USSR, delegation on the prohibition of the atomic weapon and the reduction of armaments, proposals designed to avert the threat of a new world war and to strengthen peace and friendship among nations. The United States delegation continue to insist on the now long obsolete Baruch plan, the plan for the collection of information on armaments in other countries, with the object of delaying the adoption of concrete and effective decisions on the reduction of armaments, and, in the final analysis, to submerge the issue in endless talk.”

8. “It indicates that the Commission has not held a single meeting since the General Assembly adopted its resolution on the matter [resolution 704 (VII)] on 8 April 1953. True enough, the hope is expressed in the report that the latest international events will create a more favourable atmosphere for a fresh study of the question of disarmament, the immense importance of which, as of other questions relating to the maintenance of peace, is recognized by all. The report has nothing to say concerning the reasons for the Commission’s inactivity. Its Chairman, Mr. Kyrou, of Greece, prefers to pass the matter over in silence. 18.”

9. “Like the rest of mankind, which wants peace, the Byelorussian people welcomed with joy and satisfaction the signing of the armistice in Korea, and regard that armistice as a great victory for the heroic Korean people and the valiant Chinese volunteers. The delegation of the Byelorussian SSR will co-operate in every way to ensure that the temporary armistice may be followed .by a permanent agreement for a lasting and stable peace in Korea. This will enable the Korean people to return to peaceful work and by its own efforts to solve the questions relating to the unification and internal structure of the Korean State. 17. The report of the Disarmament Commission [DC/32] has also been submitted to the General Assembly for consideration.”

10. “In his speech on 17 September, Mr. Dulles tried to shift the whole blame for the delay in calling the conference on Korea on to the Governments of the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China. It is well known, however, that the real responsibility for the delay in convening the political conference rests with the United States which, the provisions of the Armistice Agreement notwithstanding, proposed that the conference should be convened merely on a bilateral basis, without the admission to it of the representatives of the neutral States I mentioned earlier. 16.”

11. “Knowland, — who is now travelling in Asia, made a similar statement before the so-called National Assembly of South Korea in Seoul. Obviously such statements, made even before the conference is convened, can hardly create an atmosphere conducive to the peaceful solution of the Korean problem; on the contrary, they encourage Syngman Rhee to present the forthcoming conference with ultimatums, in order to wreck its work. 14. The General Assembly, if it wishes to carry out the will of the peoples who have sent their representatives here, should declare that the utterances of the so-called South Korean President constitute political blackmail and incitement to a new war, and should condemn his actions. We must remember that the armistice in Korea is only the first step along the difficult road to the final settlement of the Korean problem. 15.”

12. “Dulles deemed it necessary to state that if the Government of North Korea attempted to violate the armistice terms — although it is well known that it is Syngman Rhee who is preparing to violate those terms — then the United States Government and its fifteen allies would not only resume the war in Korea but would extend that war beyond the frontiers of Korea and commence direct attacks on Manchuria. After such a statement, it is no wonder that the American Legion Convention adopted a resolution calling for the resumption of the war against North Korea and the employment of weapons of every kind, including atomic bombs, if the forthcoming conference with ultimatums, in order to end in failure. 13. It is no wonder, then, that Mr. Syngman Rhee allows his tongue such licence. The United States Senator, Mr.”

    1953-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 8 (1953)

13. “The blunt answer must be that those responsible for Syngman Rhee’s provocative statements are the reactionary and aggressive forces in the United States, which are endeavouring to poison the international atmosphere and are resorting to intimidation in an attempt to impose their will in connexion with the settlement of the Korean problem at the forthcoming political conference. 12. A. few words about Mr. Dulles’ speeches will not come amiss. I imagine that all who are present in this hall will have read, for example, Mr. Dulles’ speech at the American Legion Convention on 2 September 1953. The essential portion of that speech was in the nature of a threat to the Government of the People’s Republic of China of what would happen if it dared to support the just proposals of North Korea at the forthcoming political conference. Mr.”

14. “Syngman Rhee who, according to Press reports, is again threatening to resume the war in Korea if the political conference does not succeed in uniting “his country”. He has declared that he would use the armistice to prepare for an offensive whenever that might be necessary, and that if foreign Powers were not ready to help the South Koreans, they would march to the North alone. There is every justification for asking why this puppet has let himself go to the point of giving open provocation for a new world war. Why, Mr. Dulles, do you allow this gentleman to poison the air with his provocative speeches on the eve of the political conference on Korea?”

15. “But is it possible to achieve a firm and lasting settlement of the Korean problem and other controversial Far Eastern questions without taking into account the views of such Asian countries as India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Burma? Surely these countries are no less interested in the successful solution of the Korean problem than, say, Colombia or Australia, Turkey or Greece? There is no doubt that for a speedy and successful settlement of the Korean problem, the participation of India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Burma in the work of the political conference is essential. 11. There is a great deal of talk in the American Press concerning the prospects for the work of the political conference on Korea. Special publicity is given to the utterances of Mr.”

16. “All the States which fought in Korea on either side, including the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea and South Korea, should take part in the conference, and the following States should also be invited: the Soviet Union, India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Burma. Any discussion of this question without the participation of the Governments of the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China is unthinkable. 10. Some delegations have claimed that these countries had no connexion with the Korean question and have tried to persuade us that their participation in the political conference would still further complicate the problem.”

17. “Chou En-lai, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China [A/2469] and Mr. Li Don Gen, the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea [A/2476] concerning the nature and composition of the forthcoming political conference on Korea, and considers that it is necessary to rectify the mistaken decision adopted by the General Assembly on 28 August 1953. The political conference should be organized as a round-table conference, but any decisions taken by the conference should have the agreement of both belligerent parties in Korea.”

18. “It is essential to create all the conditions necessary for it to become an organ capable of ensuring the peaceful settlement of disputes and dangerous situations of every kind; it must be made capable of eliminating everything that impedes the strengthening of friendly relations among States, the attainment of peace and the removal of the threat of a breach of the peace. As is. well known, the Security Council has been used to cloak foreign intervention with a mantle of legality and to falsify history. It acted shamefully in branding as the aggressor a country which had been the victim of aggression. 9. The question of the forthcoming political conference on Korea continues to preoccupy the peoples of the world. The delegation of the Byelorussian SSR supports the proposals of Mr.”

19. “That is why the attempts made by certain States to revise the Charter, to shake its very foundations and to undermine the principle of unanimity, are weakening the United Nations, thereby impeding it in the fulfilment of its basic tasks with regard to the maintenance of international peace and security, and preventing the Organization from settling these problems successfully and in a manner worthy of the United Nations. 8. It is well known that the Security Council has already been relegated to the position of a secondary organ and has become inactive; witness the meagre report [A/2437] it has submitted to the General Assembly for study. But it is inadmissible that the Security Council should remain inactive.”

20. “It is obvious that unless there is unity among the five great Powers which are called on to bear the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, normal international relations cannot be restored, and that their lack of unity cannot fail to bring about a further aggravation of relations among all countries of the world. History shows that the real reason for the unsatisfactory work of the United Nations is not the principle of the unanimity of the great Powers, but the endeavour of some States, and primarily the United States, to circumvent the clear and explicit provisions of the Charter.”

21. “Dulles in his speech before the General Assembly on 17 September [434th meeting]. Mr. Dulles tried to persuade us that the Security Council was unable to function because, as he put it, of “an excessive award of power to the permanent members of the Security Council”. United States diplomacy is now openly raising the question of revising the Charter of the United Nations. This is being done because, as long as the principle of the unanimity of the five great Powers exists, the Security Council cannot be transformed into a political instrument to be used by some Powers against others. Those who attack that principle are trying to get a free hand in order to turn the United Nations into an instrument of war.”

22. “All too often, despite proposals put forward by the Soviet Union delegation and other delegations, the United Nations engaged in sterile debates on questions which had no connexion at all with the maintenance and preservation of peace. 6. If we glance at the history of the United Nations, we see that literally on the day after the signing of the Charter attacks began to be made upon the rule of unanimity among the five great Powers in the Security Council, the so-called “veto”, and these attacks are still continuing. The story of this struggle is known to all and I shall therefore not dwell on it. 7. A fresh campaign to undermine the foundations of the United Nations Charter — the principle of unanimity, one of the most important principles of the United Nations — was launched by Mr.”

23. “From the very outset of our Organization’s practical activity it became clear that the United States representatives did not intend to observe those articles of the Charter which were designed to defend and strengthen peace and security throughout the world. Utilizing a mechanical majority, the United States delegation brought about the failure of a number of most important proposals designed to strengthen peace, and even endeavoured to cloak the destructive, aggressive war against the peaceful population of Korea under the flag of the United Nations. That is why the United Nations has been unable to solve such grave problems as disarmament, the prohibition of the atomic weapon and other types of weapons of mass destruction, and so on.”

24. “Unfortunately, the United Nations is still not an all-embracing international organization, since many countries are not yet represented in it. Nor can it be regarded as normal that, for almost four years now, representatives of the 500 million Chinese people, representatives of that great Asian Power, the Chinese People’s Republic, have not been admitted to the United Nations. Such a state of affairs not only undermines the authority of this great Organization but also prevents it from solving successfully the most important international problems, especially those questions which concern Asia and the Far East. There can be no serious talk of a settlement of many international problems without the participation of the People’s Republic of China. 5.”

25. “The question naturally arises: what has the United Nations done in its eight years of existence, how has it acquitted itself of its tasks? 3. As one who took part in the San Francisco Conference and who has attended all the subsequent sessions of the General Assembly, I must say bluntly that the United Nations has not fulfilled its promises, and has not accomplished the tasks imposed upon it by the Charter for the maintenance of peace and security throughout the world and for the strengthening of international co-operation, although it certainly could and should have done so. 4. It must be recognized that at the present time the United Nations finds itself in an impasse because proper solutions have not yet been found for fundamental international problems.”

The delegation of the Byelorussian SSR, like other delegations, attaches great significance to the eighth session of the General Assembly, which has met at a time when all countries can see before them real prospects of friendly co-operation, of achieving a settlement of controversial international issues. Ordinary people throughout the world are impatiently awaiting a further relaxation of international tension and the removal. of the threat of a world war. Because of the particular responsibility; it owes to these ordinary people, the United Nations must set to work most earnestly and attentively to study and solve the problems before it, so as to prevent any further increase of tension in international relations. 2.”

27. “It is our duty to listen to the voice of hundreds of millions of people demanding that peace be maintained. 94. The Byelorussian delegation supports the proposals made by the Chairman of the Polish delegation at this session of the General Assembly, and calls upon the representatives gathered at the seventh session of the General Assembly to adopt these proposals. They are designed solely to relieve international tension and to strengthen peace throughout the world. By adopting these proposals, the General Assembly will perform its duty of achieving and maintaining international peace and security.”

28. “The Byelorussian delegation warmly supports the Polish delegation’s proposal for the conclusion of a peace pact among the five great Powers directed towards the strengthening of peace among the nations. We are witnesses to the fact that a vast movement in defence of peace has rapidly seized the whole population of the globe and rallied hundreds of millions of people in all countries under the banner of the struggle for peace throughout the world. These anti-war sentiments of the peoples of the world were expressed at the last session of the World Peace Council, which addressed an appeal to the United Nations, urging the General Assembly at its seventh session to adopt concrete proposals for the maintenance of peace and the restoration of international confidence.”

29. “The Byelorussian people, who suffered all the horrors of the Second World War, unanimously approve the peace-loving foreign policy of the USSR Government, which is striving tirelessly for peace and in defence of peace. 93. The Byelorussian, people unanimously signed the World Peace Council's appeal for the conclusion of a peace pact among the five great Powers. The peoples of all countries want the five great Powers, which are responsible for peace throughout the world, to open negotiations and reach agreement as soon as possible. The General Assembly must call on the five great Powers to conclude a peace pact and combine their efforts for the achievement of this great aim.”

30. “A vast transformation has also taken place in the Byelorussian SSR. In recent years, 4 million square metres [43,056,000 square feet] of housing units have been built in Byelorussia, plants and factories destroyed by the German occupation troops have been restored and put into operation, 436,000 peasant houses have been built and more than 2 million persons who formerly lived in huts have been settled in them. The Byelorussian people are draining marshes; especially those in the Polesye plateau, which covers approximately one-quarter of the whole territory of Byelorussia, All our people are engaged on peaceful constructive work.”

31. “From its earliest days, the USSR has steadfastly and consistently pursued a policy of peace, has unfailingly defended, the cause of peace and has practised a policy of co-operation with all countries. 91. An indication of the USSR Government's peaceful endeavours is the vast Stalin plan, which aims at transforming nature and ensuring rich and regular harvests, and which provides for shelter-belt planting in the steppe and wooded-steppe regions. This is also the purpose of the orders enacted in 19S0, providing for the transition to a new system of irrigation designed to make the fullest possible use of irrigated lands and agricultural technology, for the construction of hydro-electric stations in the Kuybyshev, Stalingrad and Kakhovka areas, and for the building of the main Turkmen canal and the South Ukraine and North Crimea canals. 92.”

32. “If such trade were developed further, the countries of Western Europe would be able to overcome many of their difficulties both with regard to supplies for their populations and with regard to markets for their goods. It would bring about a better utilization of the economic resources of all countries and would help to increase employment and raise the standard of living of broad masses of the population. 89. The development of international trade on a broad scale will be an important factor in relieving international tension and m promoting fruitful co-operation among States. We must welcome these trends and help to broaden and strengthen them. 90.”

33. “The United States Government is also bringing brutal pressure to bear on other countries in an attempt to make them cease trading with the USSR and the peoples' democracies. 88. It is natural, therefore, that business circles and a number of political leaders, in several countries of Western Europe, who do not wish to see their countries finally enslaved by American capital, are calling ever more insistently for an expansion of trade between Western and Eastern Europe. The fact that in 1951 and 1952 a number of trade agreements were concluded between Eastern and Western European countries is an indication of the vitality of trade relations between those countries and demonstrates that there is a vital need for expansion of trade between them.”

34. “The notorious Marshall plan and the bilateral agreements signed in accordance with Its terms have given the United States the "right" to forbid the countries of Western Europe to export raw materials and industrial goods to the USSR and the peoples' democracies, Belgium, for example, with warehouses bulging with textile goods, was forbidden to sell manufactured clothing to Bulgaria, on the ground that it was made from cotton received under the Marshall plan. In September 1951, the United States, proceeding towards a further deterioration of relations with the USSR, passed the Battle Bill, placing an embargo on trade with the USSR and the peoples' democracies and breaking the trade agreement of 4 August 1937 between the Soviet Union and the United States.”

36. “Representatives at this session must realize that under present conditions the development of trade between the countries of East and West is a matter of particular importance. The Western States, however, under pressure from the United States Government, which is guided by political rather than by economic considerations, are deprived of the possibility of following this path. The countries of Western Europe are continuing to cut down their trade with the countries of Eastern Europe.”

37. “Although the Kuomintang group now no longer represents, anyone and does not enjoy the support of the Chinese people; the Anglo-American bloc is continuing quite illegally to recognize the right of this group to represent China in the United Nations, whereas this right belong exclusively to the lawful representative of the Chinese people — the Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China. 85. The next question on which I wish to dwell is that of trade relations between East and West. We all know that, under Article 55 of the Charter, the United Nations is called upon to promote “higher standards of living, full employment, and conditions of economic and social progress and development’’. 86.”

38. “The speech which Mr. Eden made yesterday showed that the ruling circles of the United Kingdom are wholeheartedly following the United States ruling circles on the German question, grossly violating the Yalta and Potsdam agreements and sabotaging achievement of the important task of establishing a single, independent, democratic Germany. 84. The lawful representatives of the People's Republic of China are still absent from the United Nations because of the opposition of the ruling circles of the United States, although the need to relieve international tension and to increase the authority of the United Nations makes their presence here imperative. As a result of the victory of the Chinese people’s revolution, the group of venal Kuomintang rulers led by Chiang Kai-shek was expelled from China.”

39. “The peoples of the world, and the Byelorussian people among them, well remember the countless miseries and sufferings caused by the German imperialist aggression. They angrily protest against the criminal policy of encouraging the German militarists. They demand the speediest possible conclusion of a comprehensive peace treaty, which is the only means of reuniting Germany. This is a matter of vital interest to the peoples of the world, including the Byelorussian people, who suffered all the consequences of the treacherous nazi invasion. That is why the Byelorussian people are firmly resolved to ensure the establishment of a united, peace-loving and democratic Germany, which, instead of helping to prepare another universal slaughter, would help to strengthen friendly relations among nations and the cause of peace throughout the world. 83.”

The factories of the war-criminals Krupp and Thyssen are also working at full capacity. 81. All this testifies to the fact that a new focus of aggression is being created in the centre of Europe. The tears have not yet dried, the wounds are not yet. healed and the ruins of the cities still remain as reminders of the monstruous bombings of the Second World War, but already the American and German imperialists are again seeking to plunge us into a new and even more horrible catastrophe, 82.”

41. “As a result of the Bonn “general agreement” and the Paris agreement concerning the “European Defence Community”, Western Germany has been included in the aggressive North Atlantic bloc, in which an essential part is to be played by the army of Western Germany, which longs to take its revenge, According to Press reports, Mr. Blank, an official representative of the Bonn Government, told foreign Press correspondents on 13 June 1952 that it was proposed to expand the Western German army to a total of 500,000 men, including 100,000 former regular officers and non-commissioned officers of the nazi Wehrmacht.

Only by adopting these proposals can we settle this most important question once and for all. 80. The criminal policy of splitting Germany and reviving militarism and fascism in Western Germany constitutes a serious threat to international peace and security.

The representatives of the countries of the North Atlantic bloc, with, the United States representative at their head, drowned the question of the prohibition of atomic weapons and the reduction of armaments and armed forces in empty hypocritical verbiage about the “usefulness of disarmament” and the collection of information about armaments. 76. The peoples of the world realize that the ruling circles of the United States have chosen not the path of peace, but the path of aggression which leads to a new world war. 77.”

45. “The proposals submitted by the USSR delegation [DC/4/Rev.1 and DC/13/Rev.1], providing for the unconditional prohibition of atomic weapons and the reduction of armaments and armed forces, are designed solely to relax international tension and to strengthen peace throughout the world. It is common knowledge that the Disarmament Commission failed to accomplish the tasks assigned to It by the sixth session of the General Assembly [resolution 502 (VI)]. If the United States, the United Kingdom and France had accepted the USSR proposals, the armaments race, which has brought about a dangerous tension in international affairs, would have been brought to an end.”

46. “Nevertheless, in spite of the great difficulties caused by the voting machine which the United States has instituted in the United Nations, the Soviet Union defends its policy of peace before the United Nations, and strives to ensure the adoption of realistic proposals corresponding to the needs of the present international situation and aimed at curbing the forces of aggression, preventing a new war and bringing about a cessation of hostilities where they already exist.” 75. The position taken by the Soviet Union in the Disarmament Commission, in particular, is a striking illustration of Mr. Malenkov’s statement.”

47. “Malenkov, Deputy Premier of the USSR, said on 5 October 1952: “The USSR Government attaches great importance to the United Nations, believing that it can be an important means for maintaining peace. At the present time, however, the United States is turning the United Nations, which, under the Charter should be an organ of international co-operation, into an organ of its dictatorial war-mongering policy, and is using the Organization to cover up its acts of aggression.”

48. “Thus we see that the monopolistic trusts and syndicates which are in control of atomic production in the United States are instigating the atomic armaments race, directing the United States generals to commit mass murder and destroy peaceful populations, dictating to the United States ruling circles their policy of atomic blackmail, military provocation and aggression, fanning the prevailing war psychosis and demanding that the atomic bomb should be used against peace-loving peoples. The United States ruling circles are endeavouring to transform the United Nations into a tool of their aggressive policies, instead of an instrument for peace, which under the Charter it should be. 74. The Soviet Union takes an entirely different view of the United Nations. Mr.”

49. “The aim of the USSR Government’s programme is to prevent the use of atomic energy for purposes of destruction and mass murder. The Soviet Union wants atomic energy to be used for peaceful purposes, for the continued progress and prosperity of all mankind. 73. The United States Government, on the other hand, is against the prohibition of atomic weapons and is therefore opposing the will of the overwhelming majority of the people of the world, in the interests of the big American firms which have taken over the production of atomic weapons and are making enormous profits on it.”

50. “Hoyle has graphically indicated the essence of the atomic policy pursued by the ruling circles of the United States and the United Kingdom, which are anxious to find the cheapest way of killing people. 71. These are the monstruous plans of the present pretenders to world domination, against whom an angry, protest is being raised by all progressive men and women, whose interests and aspirations are expressed in the peace-loving foreign policy of the USSR, 72. As is known, the Soviet Union has fought tirelessly, and is continuing to fight, for the prohibition of the atomic weapon, the weapon for the mass destruction of human beings. The USSR has put forward a concrete programme for the prohibition of the atomic bomb and the establishment of strict international control to ensure such prohibition.”
