UN General Assembly
1947

“I am delighted and highly honoured to be called a warmonger by Mr. Vyshinsky. If by ‘warmonger’ he means that I advocate using atom bombs on Russia, he, that is, Mr. Vyshinsky is absolutely right.” Is this the raving of a madman or the hysteria of a warmonger caught in the act? No, this is simply the voice of a Hitlerite surpassing his teacher in cynicism. Even at the very worst period of the Nurnberg Congresses, the German fascists did not dare throw out a challenge to the world so blatantly as Mr. Earle is doing now.
