UN General Assembly
1947

Preparations for a new war are being carried on literally before the eyes of the whole world; in fact, the propagandists and warmongers do not even attempt to conceal it. They openly threaten peaceful countries with war, although they make every attempt to lay on them the responsibility for igniting a new conflagration of war. The preparation for a new war, as a number of signs show, has emerged from the stage of mere propaganda and psychological manipulation; from the stage of a war of nerves. Many facts show that in certain States — and this applies especially to the United States — a war psychosis is being encouraged by the actual adoption of practical measures of a strategic nature, together with such organizational and technical measures as the construction and organization of new military bases, the rearrangement of armed forces in accordance with plans for future military operations, the expansion of the output of new armaments, and feverish work on the improvement of weapons.
