UN General Assembly
1946

We know that there are quite a number of ways in which the stronger Powers can bring pressure to bear on other States. We know that squadrons of warships and military aeroplanes sometimes appear on seas and in the sky where they had not been before, when this is considered necessary in order to achieve greater success in diplomatic negotiations. We also know that dollars and pounds sterling do not always stay at home, especially when it is necessary to set “dollar diplomacy” to work, if only, let us say, for the purpose of securing due respect for “dollar democracy”. And now, as we know, there is already talk of “atomic diplomacy” as well.
