UN General Assembly
1949

26. Far from taking into account General Assembly resolution 110 (II) of 3 November 1947, which called for measures to be taken against the inciters to a new war, the ruling circles of the United States and the United Kingdom were continuing their war propaganda with ever increasing intensity. The aim of that propaganda was to justify to the masses of the people the military measures taken by those two countries and to create war hysteria, which would enable them to allocate increasingly large sums for military purposes. That had been openly acknowledged by the American review U. S. News and World Report, which had stated in its issue of 5 August 1949: “Aid abroad is harder to sell this year than last. War scare is having to be drummed up again to excite interest in a gift of arms to other nations. War talk is artificial, phony, but it is regarded as necessary to get Congress stirred up enough to produce a favorable vote.”
