UN General Assembly
1960

166. But what have the Western Powers brought to this session of the General Assembly? Let us take a look at their new positions on the disarmament question. However closely we examine the statements made by the representatives of the Western Powers we shall not find in them anything new, anything which shows that the Western Powers are working towards disarmament. The same old control over armaments, the same old inspection without disarmament — such are the elements which characterize the position of the United States, the United Kingdom and certain other Western countries. The primary factor in their approach to disarmament questions is still their desire to obtain espionage information about the socialist countries. In those circumstances, the inescapable conclusion is that for the Western Powers the ideal solution of the question would apparently be the conversion of Mr. Allen Dulles’s agency into an international control organ. Surely, the militant rulers of the United States and the other countries members of NATO are asking a great deal!
