1. “To this end, it is giving every possible encouragement to research work directed towards the creation of new types of atomic weapons in an endeavour to make them as cheap is possible. There is an eloquent statement to this effect on page 35 of the New York Times Magazine, the Sunday supplement to The New York Times of 9 November 1952, which contains a statement by Mr. Fred Hoyle, a prominent English scientist from Cambridge University. Mr. Hoyle declared: “Within a couple of years it will cost only $2.80 a head to kill people with atomic weapons instead of the several thousand dollars a head it costs to kill people in war today.” In this Way Mr.”

2. “The United States ruling circles are persisting in their policy of thwarting the prohibition of atomic weapons and are endeavouring to increase their stocks of atomic bombs and to create new types of atomic weapons. Under pressure from the United States representatives, the majority of the United Nations Security Council has repeatedly rejected the proposal for the prohibition of atomic weapons. For the last six years, the United States representatives in the Security Council, the Disarmament Commission and the General Assembly have decisively opposed the USSR Government’s proposal for the prohibition of atomic weapons and the establishment of strict international control to ensure observance of such prohibition. The United States is doing this because it intends to make use of the atomic bomb in the war which it is preparing.”

3. “According to the National Guardian of 5 March 1952, the average contribution of each American to the Government’s military expenditure in 1952-1953 will be $412 as compared with $8.75 before the Second World War. An idea of the enormous United States military expenditure may also be obtained from the statement by Mr. Lovett, the United States Secretary of Defense which was published in the New York Journal-American of 28 March 1952. Mr. Lovett declared that a situation might arise where the United States would spend $167 million daily for military purposes until 1954. These figures show that the United States is spending approximately three-quarter of its budget on arms and armed forces. 70. The atomic armaments race in the United States has not ceased for a single day since the end of the Second World War.”

4. “These proposals cannot be rejected by States which are really seeking to settle the most vital international issues by peaceful means. The continuance of the war in Korea will still further increase the tension in the Far East and throughout the world. The General Assembly must, prevent any further extension of the war in Korea and must help to bring about an immediate cease-fire in Korea and the conclusion of an armistice and peace. 69. This session has met at a time when the preparations for a new war and the armaments race conducted by the United States ruling circles are now on an unprecedented scale. Only one fact need be cited.”

5. “We also wholeheartedly support the USSR delegation's proposal [A/C.1/729/Rev.1/Corr.1] for the establishment of a commission for the peaceful settlement of the Korean question, to consist of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union, the People’s Republic of China, India, Burma, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea, and South Korea. The Commission should “take immediate steps for the settlement of the Korean question on the basis of the unification of Korea, to be effected by the Koreans themselves, under the supervision of the commission, such steps to include extending all possible assistance in the repatriation of all prisoners of war by both sides”. 68. The adoption of these proposals would put an end to the war in Korea, which has created such dangerous international tension.”

6. “Skrzeszewski, the Chairman of the Polish delegation, that the General Assembly, at its seventh session, should recommend to the parties engaged in the war in Korea, first, the immediate cessation of hostilities on land, at sea and in the air; secondly, the return of all prisoners of war to their homeland, in accordance with international standards; thirdly, the withdrawal from Korea of foreign troops, including the Chinese volunteer units, within a period of two to three months, and the peaceful settlement of the Korean question. 67.”

7. “The war in Korea makes it plain that for the invaders this “order” means the mass murder of civilians, the inhuman bombing of peaceful towns and villages and the restoration of the Syngman Rhee police regime, which even the American newspapers describe as not being in the least free or democratic. The “order” to which the New Zealand representative referred is the order of the whip and the noose. The United Nations clearly cannot and must not support such an “order”; on the contrary, it must put an end to it and to the United States aggression which is imposing it. 66. The Byelorussian people ardently desire the cessation of the war in Korea. The Byelorussian delegation, therefore, wholeheartedly supports the proposal [A/ 2229] made by Mr.”

8. “Under cover of the negotiations, they are endeavouring to conceal from world public opinion their policy of protracting the war in Korea and extending their aggression in Asia. The prolongation of the war in Korea benefits the Wall Street monopolists, since they are thereby increasing war production and making enormous profits, as the Canadian representative is well aware. 65. At the [380th] meeting on 16 October 1952, Mr. Webb, the New Zealand representative, declared that the troops of the countries taking part in the war of aggression against the Korean people would remain in Korea until they had achieved their objective, That objective, he said, was to restore order in Korea.”

9. “The discussion of this last issue has how been going on for ten months, and, as we know, the negotiations have now been broken Off indefinitely through the fault of the United States representatives. The United States Government did not at the time publish in the Press the latest proposals on the prisoner-of-war issue submitted by Kim Il Sung and Peng Teh Huai on 8 October 1952, in ah attempt to keep them from world public opinion. These proposals were made public only after they had been exposed in the statement by Mr. Vyshinsky, the head of the USSR delegation; I shall therefore not repeat them. One thing is clear, that the United States ruling circles are refusing, without any justification whatever, to accept the just proposals made by the Korean representatives and are deliberately protracting these negotiations.”

10. “Even the use of such barbarous methods, however, has failed to give the invaders the desired results. All their calculations have proved mistaken and have come to nought. That is why they are slandering the heroic Korean people and bending all their efforts against them. 64. In face of the angry protests of the peace-loving peoples who have condemned the criminal intervention of the United States and its partners in Korea, and with the prospect of the defeat of the invading forces in sight, the ruling circles of the United States were compelled in July 1951 to enter upon negotiations in Korea. These negotiations have now been proceeding for more than a year. By their fifth month, all questions had been resolved in substance, with the exception of one, the question of prisoners of war.”

11. “Martin, the representative of Canada, stated that the Canadian Government was in favour of the earliest possible conclusion of an armistice in Korea and the confinement of the war to the Korean peninsula, and that it had intervened in the Korean war in order to resist aggression. We have heard such statements from the Canadian representative on several occasions, but the Canadian representative, made no mention of the fact that, having proved unable to break the heroic resistance of the Korean people in open warfare, the forces of the invaders, flagrantly violating the elementary principles and standards of international law, were using against the Korean people such barbarous instruments as napalm bombs, poisonous substances and bacterial weapons.”

12. “I do not think any comment on this statement is needed. 62. In connexion with the war of aggression in Korea, it is impossible to ignore the fact that the annual report [A/2141 and Add, 1] of the United Nations Secretariat to the seventh session of the General Assembly contains attempts to justify the United States aggression in Korea, to defend the anti-popular, degenerate regime of Syngham Rhee and to spread slander and falsehoods about the People's Democratic Republic of Korea and the People's Republic of China. 63. Speaking in the General Assembly on 17 October last [382nd meeting], Mr.”

13. “The United States ruling circles thought they would deal with North Korea in lightning fashion by sending against it large land, air and naval forces, but the heroic Korean people resolutely defended their homeland and decisively repulsed the invaders. 61. The fact that the United States has conducted its war of aggression in Korea in an inhuman fashion has been admitted by General MacArthur. As reported by the issue of Vital Speeches of April 1952, General MacArthur, speaking on 22 March 1952 before a joint session of the Mississippi Legislature in the town of Jackson, said: "… we enforced upon the Korean people the dreadful tragedy involved in the exclusive use of their soil as the sole battleground. As a consequence, death has come to hundreds of thousands of, defenseless Korean civilians and a nation has been devastated and gutted”.”

14. “Such synthetic bacteria and viruses will be able to cause real epidemics . . . And it is primarily this work which is going on under cover in such places as Camp Detrick in Maryland, and which is completely secret.” 59. This bacterial warfare was prepared in close collaboration with the Japanese war criminals, who had already had experience of such nefarious procedures. In 1946, General MacArthur selected and dispatched eighteen Japanese war criminals for work in bacteriological laboratories in various parts of the United States — Maryland, Mississippi, Utah and so on, so that their criminal experiences could be put to use. 60. It would be possible to adduce many other facts which show that the purpose of bacterial warfare is the widespread dissemination of epidemics aimed at the mass annihilation of people.”

15. “On 29 July 1952, the American periodical Look pointed out that at least five United States Government institutions were engaged in the preparation of bacterial weapons: the United States Army’s Chemical Service, the Public Health Service, the Department of Agriculture and the Army and Navy medical services. The periodical writes that the preparation of these weapons is being conducted at three levels: the production of more virulent bacteria, research on the means of combating the enemy’s bacteria, and perfecting the means of spreading new bacteria. The periodical states: “Most of them [the bacteria] exist widely in nature, and do not, after all, cause major epidemics. The trick is to increase their potency — by breeding, by deliberately creating mutations and breeding the more lethal mutations . . .”

16. “Acheson, and after him Mr. Eden, denied that the United States had used bacterial weapons in Korea This unsupported denial, however, is refuted by numerous facts and documents. The ruling circles of the United States have long been preparing for bacterial warfare. Mr. Vyshinsky, Chairman of the USSR delegation, spoke convincingly about numerous facts connected with this preparation in his speech at the [383rd] plenary meeting of the General Assembly on 18 October last. To supplement the facts that have already been mentioned, I shall refer only to the following. 58.”

17. “The terrible annihilation of the Korean people is continuing, Korean towns and villages are being systematically destroyed, and the most inhuman means of destruction, such as bacterial weapons, poison gases and napalm bombs, are being used against children, women and old people, In two months alone — from 28 January to 31 March 1952 — the United States Air Force made 700 raids, using bacterial bombs and various Objects infected with deadly microbes (cholera, plague, typhus, etc.), at 400 different points in North Korea and in the territory of the People’s Republic of China, These facts have already been established by authoritative international commissions, and the peoples of the world are well aware by what methods and procedures the American interventionists are conducting the war in Korea. 57. With affected indignation, Mr.”

18. “The course of events, however, shows that the Korean armistice negotiations which have been proceeding at Panmunjom for fifteen months have not yielded any positive results owing to the provocative behaviour of the United States. 56. North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war are still being shot and tortured.”

19. “It must be observed that instead of repeating the slanderous, vulgar fabrications about the “iron curtain” and such like malicious untruths about the Soviet Union and the peoples' democracies, it would have been better if the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom had found it possible to deal more seriously in his speech with the afore-mentioned questions. Instead, he preferred to dispose of them in a few superficial phrases in which, moreover, he gave a distorted picture of the real situation. 55. The war that has already been going on in Korea for more than two years is, as everybody knows, profoundly disturbing to the peoples of the whole world. The peoples demand that this war, which has given rise to a dangerous tension in international relations, should immediately be brought to an end.”

20. “When these matters are considered, it can be shown without difficulty that responsibility for this rests with the Anglo-American block itself, which has done a great deal to prevent the settlement of such questions as that of Germany, Austria and others, thereby flagrantly violating the relevant international agreements, to which the United Kingdom has appended its signature. 53. Mr. Eden dealt with the Korean question, but here again he adopted the same course — that of attempting to shift responsibility for the situation from the wolf to the sheep. 54.”

21. “Eden, dealing with the problem of international cooperation, enumerated a series of questions which are on the agenda of the seventh session of the General Assembly. He drew attention to the questions on which agreement has not been reached, or with the consideration of which no progress at all has been made. He sought, but with no good reasons, to represent the situation in such a way that responsibility for the failure to settle these questions so far would seem to rest with the Soviet Union.”

22. “The delegation of the Byelorussian SSR considers it necessary to express its views on the results of the work of the United Nations during the past year. As representatives are well aware, ordinary people in every country are deeply disturbed at the present strained international situation, and the peoples of the world want a firm and lasting peace. The question naturally arises as to what the United Nations has done to relieve the international tension, and how it has coped with the tasks incumbent upon it under the Charter. 51. It must be said outright that the United Nations has not fulfilled the tasks assigned to it, although it could and should have fulfilled those which concerned the maintenance of peace and the strengthening of international co-operation. 52. In his speech yesterday [393rd meeting], Mr.”

24. “The sixth session of the General Assembly should declare incompatible with membership in the United Nations any participation in the aggressive Atlantic bloc and the establishment by certain States, especially the United States of America, of military, naval and air bases on foreign territory. 145. These proposals represent a new proof of the peaceful intentions of the Soviet Union, which maintains its triumphant progress. These proposals clearly reflect the sincere aspirations of the peoples that have suffered all the horrors of the Second World War for the maintenance of a lasting and stable peace. 146. The delegation of the Byelorussian SSR calls upon representatives to the sixth session of the General Assembly of the United Nations to adopt these proposals.”

25. “The General Assembly should call upon the governments of all States, both Members of the United Nations and States that are not as yet Members, to consider the question of the effective reduction of armed forces and armaments at a world conference. The General Assembly should acknowledge that it is essential for the participants in the military action in Korea to cease such action without delay, to conclude a truce and to withdraw all troops from the 38th parallel within ten days; moreover, all foreign troops and foreign volunteer detachments should be withdrawn from Korea within three months. 144.”

26. “The delegation of the Byelorussian SSR wholeheartedly supports the proposals of the Soviet Union [A/1944] as expressed by the head of the USSR delegation, Andrei Yanuaryevich Vyshinsky, at the 336th plenary meeting of the General Assembly on 8 November this year. It is a fact that the recent aggravation of the international situation has caused anxiety and disquiet to peace-loving people throughout the world. Every honest man hopes that the five great Powers responsible for world peace should begin negotiations and reach agreement as soon as possible. The General Assembly should call upon the five great Powers to conclude a peace pact and to combine their efforts in achieving this great aim. 143.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

27. “We have to admit that these demands are legitimate and that they express the fervent wish of the peoples to maintain world peace. 141. The Byelorussian people, which suffered all the honors of the Second World War, longs for peace and all the adult population of Byelorussia therefore signed the appeal of the World Peace Council for the conclusion of a peace pact between the five great Powers. The Byelorussian people unanimously approves the peaceful foreign policy of the Government of the USSR, which unremittingly struggles for peace and defends the cause of peace throughout the world. 142.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

28. “Small wonder that the great movement in defence of peace has so rapidly won over the population of the whole world and has united hundreds of millions of people of all countries under the flag of the struggle for world peace. 139. These anti-war movements of peoples were reflected at the most recent session of the World Peace Council at Vienna, which adopted an appeal to the United Nations, urging that the United Nations should adopt concrete proposals for the maintenance of peace and re-establishment of confidence among States. 140. We must heed the voices of hundreds of millions of people who are demanding the maintenance of peace. They insistently demand that the peace pact should be concluded between the five great Powers which bear the main responsibility for the maintenance of peace throughout the world.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

29. “As is known, the Soviet Union, from the first days of its existence, has unremittingly and consistently pursued a policy of peace, has continually defended anti still defends the cause of peace and has pursued a policy of co-operation with all countries desiring such co-operation. The peaceful policy of the Soviet Union corresponds fully to the wishes and aspirations of all peace-loving nations. 138. The Second World War, which was prepared and unleashed by Fascist Germany and imperialistic Japan and which claimed so many victims, has taught peace-loving peoples many lessons. Naturally, those peoples do not wish to shed any more blood for the benefit of millionaires and multi-millionaires, and are therefore uniting in the struggle for the maintenance of peace and against fascism and war.”

30. “To disguise its traitorous, anti-democratic policy and its defection to the aggressor's camp, and to deceive the Yugoslav people, the Tito clique is resorting to slander against the Soviet Union and the people's democracies. 135. The Titoists’ efforts are in vain. No one can deceive the peoples of the world, who are fully aware that the Soviet Union is pursuing a policy of peace and friendship between nations, that it has never threatened anyone and does not threaten anyone and that it heads the camp of peace, whereas the United States of America heads the camp of war and aggression to which the Tito clique has now crossed over by becoming a tool of the American imperialists and aggressors. 136. I need not dwell on that point any longer. 137.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

31. “In that connexion I should like to draw attention to the following fact: today’s issue of the newspaper Parisien Libere states that Tito and the United States Ambassador at Belgrade, George Allen, have signed an agreement on the conditions of military aid to Yugoslavia by the United States of America. The agreement provides, in particular, that a commission of advisers, an American commission, will be set up in Belgrade to supervise the use of the war material supplied to Yugoslavia. 133. This fact shows that, in the plans of the North Atlantic bloc, Tito’s Yugoslavia is being given the part of an instrument of aggression against the people’s democracies and the Soviet Union. 134.”

32. “But no slanderous fabrications and no base insinuations can erase from the memory of the Yugoslav people their recollections of the great part played by the Soviet army in their liberation. 130. The Yugoslav people hold sacred the memory of the days of their country’s liberation from the yoke of the Hitlerite occupation. Renegades and those who have crossed over to the imperialist camp have always shown the greatest hatred for those whom they deserted. 131. I shall not dwell on the slanderous allegations made by Mr. Kardelj concerning the peace pact which, he alleges, is directed against the interests of small countries. That is an unworthy fabrication, an evil slander of the bankrupt Tito clique. 132.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

33. “Such a pact would be an adequate foundation for a universal agreement and for the peace and security of nations, and any objection to the proposal for the peace pact is clearly worthless. It might play an extremely positive part in preventing a new war and in establishing friendly relations between nations. 128. I cannot refrain from dwelling in my statement on the insulting and slanderous statements made by the representative of Yugoslavia, Mr. Kardelj, against the Soviet Union and the people’s democracies. 129. The representative of Tito’s Yugoslavia made a slanderous attempt to distort the facts and to decry the achievements of the Soviet army, which liberated the peoples of Yugoslavia from the Hitlerite occupation.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

34. “Some speakers have objected to the conclusion of a peace pact between the five great Powers, alleging that we have a peace pact between sixty nations in the Charter of the United Nations. It is well known, however, that the main responsibility for the maintenance of peace and security throughout the world is borne by the five Powers which are permanent members of the Security Council, who have the greatest authority, weight and influence in settling all international affairs. Everyone knows that a peace pact between the United States, the USSR, the United Kingdom, France and the People’s Republic of China would avert the threat of war and would save humanity from the burden of inflated war budgets and the armaments race. 127.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

35. “But these peaceful proposals of the USSR have been systematically rejected by the Anglo-American majority in the United Nations, and today, Mr. Acheson and his friends represent themselves as inveterate peace-mongers. These gentlemen are very eloquent about peace, but at the same time they are carrying on preparations for a new world war, establishing land, sea and air military bases in foreign territory and attempting to intimidate peace-loving nations. 125. They do not wish to reduce armaments. They have a deadly fear of an agreement on this matter since a reduction of armaments might undermine their aggressive plans and render unnecessary the armaments race which is raising the profits of the monopolists by thousands of millions. 126.”

36. “Pearson’s speech were it not for the fact that its slanderous inventions were broadcast from the rostrum of the General Assembly. It is well known that the Soviet. Union, faithful to its policy of peace, has ceaselessly carried on a struggle for the prevention of war and for the preservation of peace throughout the world. 124. At the five preceding sessions of the General Assembly, at the sessions of the Security Council and of other United Nations bodies, the USSR delegation has repeatedly submitted concrete proposals to ensure peace throughout the world. Representatives at the General Assembly are acquainted with the USSR proposals for the reduction of the armed forces of the five great Powers by one-third, for the prohibition of atomic weapons, for the conclusion of a peace pact between the five great Powers, and other proposals.”

37. “with the demands and desires of all peoples, for the prohibition of atomic weapons and for the establishment of strict international control over its observance. 122. The representative of Canada, Mr. Pearson, in his speech at the 339th meeting of the General Assembly held on 12 November, stated, in the anti-Soviet tone usual with, him, that the speech of the head of the USSR delegation, A. Y. Vyshinsky, was only propaganda and alleged that “ the Russian Government has now decided to abandon the effort (for peace) completely and to use the United Nations not for the removal of differences, but merely to vilify, to sneer at and to attack those with whom it disagrees ”. 123. It would be scarcely necessary to dwell upon Mr.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

38. “An important place in this atomic general’s speech was occupied by the question of using atomic weapons for aggressive purposes, and Ire declared that aviation continued to be the best method for the use of atomic power on the field of battle and in the heart of the territory of any large country. 120. Bradley’s statement bears witness to the real intentions of the United States ruling circles. Mr. Acheson attempts to hide such aggressive aspirations of the American imperialists behind hypocritical talk about the reduction of armaments. 121. The delegation of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic considers that the General Assembly should lend its ear to the voice of many millions of people in every country of the world, and should reach a decision, in accordance.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

39. “At the same time as Mr. Acheson advocates a census and inventory of all armaments, including atomic weapons, with the professed objective of achieving subsequent disarmament on the basis of the three-Power proposals, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Bradley, speaks of the necessity for a considerable further increase in the armaments of the United States of America. Speaking on 9 November of this year at the American Petroleum Institute, Bradley stated that the American Chiefs of Staff had decided that it was essential for the United States to make a considerable increase in its air forces and that the effort in that direction should be undertaken immediately. 119.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

40. “All measures are directed towards preventing any move for the prohibition of the manufacture of atomic weapons and any effective international control. 116. Under the cover of such noisy talk, work on the expansion and construction of new factories for the production of atomic bombs is continuing, as is the accumulation of atomic weapons. 117. Thus, according to a statement by a correspondent of the newspaper New York Post, Allen, dated 9 October 1950, the sum of 8,000 million dollars was allocated in 1950 to meet the programme for the stockpiling of atomic weapons. After accumulating stocks of atomic bombs and producing new types of atomic weapons, the ruling circles of the United States of America intend to use them in the war now being prepared by the Anglo-American bloc against the countries in the camp of peace. 118.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

41. “But the delegation of the United States of America, with the assistance of its voting machine in the United Nations, has systematically disrupted the implementation of this just demand of the overwhelming majority of the world’s population. 114. Mr. Acheson is again insisting that the basis of work on the atomic question should be the notorious Baruch-Acheson-Lilienthal Plan, the object of which is to subject all sources of nuclear fuel and all atomic production in every country to United States control. 115. And now, in the allegedly “new” proposals for “stages”, the attempt is being made as before to find a substitute for and retard real concrete work on the urgent task of elaborating practical measures for prohibiting and controlling atomic weapons.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

42. “If, for instance some United States Senate committee is not satisfied with the result of the work performed at one stage or another, it will prove impossible to realize the plan for reducing armaments and armed forces. 112. Mr. Acheson was unable to explain when and by •what method the possible reduction of armed forces and armaments could be carried out; on the contrary, he made a reduction of armaments depend on a whole series of reservations and preliminary conditions. 113. Everyone is aware that progressive humanity has for six years already been waging a stubborn struggle for the prohibition -of atomic weapons, weapons for the mass annihilation of human beings. The USSR delegation has on a number of occasions brought up the question of the need to prohibit atomic weapons and to establish international control over this prohibition.”

    1951-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 6 (1951)

43. “No mention is made in the three-Power proposals of the task of preventing aggression. Why is there no reference in the proposals to the prohibition of the use of poison gas and of bacteriological weapons in a future war? 110. Why is it now necessary to confine activities to the collection of information relating to the most simple types of armaments? Who will determine the reliability of such information? It is possible at any moment to question data received and to refuse to recognize any given census. 111. Explaining the three-Power proposals, Mr. Acheson stated [335th plenary meeting] that “That system of disclosure and verification must be a system which progresses from stage to stage as each one is completed”. The question naturally arises as to who will determine when a given stage has in fact been completed.”

44. “The main point in the three-Power proposals for regulation, limitation and balanced reduction of all armed forces and armaments is the introduction of disclosure and verification, to be carried out in successive stages with the object of revealing data concerning armed forces and armaments, including atomic weapons. 107. Thus, genuine reduction of armed forces and armaments are to be replaced by a census of the armaments and armed forces existing in individual States, while the question of the prohibition of atomic weapons is completely ignored. 108. For the moment the three-Power proposals envisage only a study of this “programme”, while its implementation is to be postponed until the end of the war in Korea and until the principal political problems dividing the various States have been settled. 109.”

45. “Acheson actively defended the proposal put forward by the United Kingdom, the United States of America and France entitled “Regulation, limitation and balanced reduction of all armed forces and alt armaments” [A/1943], and declared that it represented a new matter of great urgency and importance. 106. The delegation of the Byelorussian SSR has carefully studied the proposals, and also the explanations which Mr. Acheson gave in his speech. The proposals do not provide for any real reduction of armaments, nor do they provide for the prohibition of atomic weapons.”

46. “The extermination of the Korean people is to this day being carried out by the systematic destruction of Korean towns and villages and the use against women and children of the most inhuman methods of destruction, such as incendiary and napalm bombs. In the territories occupied by American forces tens of thousands of completely innocent peaceful citizens are being bestially murdered without trial or investigation. 104. Every honest man and woman in the world protests in anger and indignation against the atrocities perpetrated by the American forces in Korea and demands the immediate termination of the Korean war. 105. In his speech Mr.”

47. “All the world knows that the Kaesong talks on a ceasefire and armistice in Korea have frequently been interrupted owing to the provocative acts of the Americans. A careful analysis of the course of the Kaesong talks leads to the conclusion that the main objective of American ruling circles has been to hoodwink world public opinion by their assumed love of peace. 103. Mr. Acheson passed over in silence the atrocities and cruelties systematically perpetrated on the Korean people by the American interventionists. He was also silent with regard to their flagrant violations of the principles of humanity and international law laid down in The Hague and Geneva international conventions on the rules of war.”

48. “It is corroborated by a large number of documents which show that preparations for aggression against the Korean People’s Democratic Republic were being made by the Syngman Rhee puppet clique under the direction of American generals and government politicians. Armed intervention by American forces in the civil war in Korea continues to this day. 101. These facts show that it is the United States which prepared and launched aggression in Korea. Mr. Acheson and his adherents need this talk of North Korean aggression in order to justify intervention by American forces in Korea. Mr. Acheson also stated that since July the United Nations command in Korea had been conducting negotiations with a view to concluding an armistice, but that so far no success had been achieved. 102.”

49. “Acheson and certain representatives of other countries distorted the facts by stating that the aggression had come from the North Korean side. It is well known, however, that the act of aggression was committed on 25 June 1950 by the South Korean forces against the Korean People’s Democratic Republic in accordance with a plan worked out in advance with the American General Staff. This fact is confirmed by a map showing the strategic plan of attack against North Korea, with exact details of the direction of the main blows against the People’s Army, which was discovered among the archives of the Syngman Rhee Government in Seoul and published by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea.”

50. “The representative of the Kuomintang has to this day not been excluded from the United Nations and no offer of the membership which it deserves has as yet been made to the true representative of the Government of the Chinese nation — the representative of the Chinese People’s Government. 99. On 8 November [335th plenary meeting] we heard Mr. Acheson’s statement. He attempted to conceal the aggressive plans of United States foreign policy behind phrases about peace and the regulation, limitation and reduction of armaments and armed forces. While these proposals were made with the alleged intention of strengthening the peace, Mr. Acheson did everything in his power to sidetrack this session and to divert its attention from the real reduction of armaments and armed forces and the prohibition of atomic weapons. 100. Speaking of Korea, Mr.”
