150. A number of other important steps relating both to disarmament and to international security have been suggested by various speakers; they include the Soviet Government's suggestion that a non-aggression pact should be concluded between the States parties to the Warsaw Treaty and the States members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. My delegation finds many of these steps well worth considering; and it thinks that, for example, to those who consider that the nonaggression pact which has been referred to would be superfluous in view of the clear stipulations of the Charter against any aggression, it could be answered that, as the French say, "si cela va sans dire, cela ira mieux en le disant". For our part, we see no harm at all, and the possibility of good, in the reaffirmation that all shall keep the peace and that no aggression shall be committed.
