UN General Assembly
1960

107. In this year of 1960, so great for the peoples of Africa, the consummation of this policy can already be seen in some countries; in others it is approaching. With our willing help the peoples of these countries are steadily proceeding to the goal of political independence; Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Tanganyika are all examples of the harmony and agreement between us and the people's leaders by which this process has gone forward. But what the peoples of Africa and also those of Asia equally need, as well as freedom, are those things to which President Eisenhower referred in his speech — food, development, education, freedom from the arms race. On these people can build nations. Ideological war would destroy them. I venture to say, therefor e — I must say — that to my mind, these slogans are out of date.
