UN General Assembly

89. Although no concrete conclusions have yet been achieved on the subject of disarmament, the impressive development along this line is that this issue is moving ahead in all directions to find a definite, practical and effective method for serving this purpose.

Talks about the suspension and cessation of nuclear tests are of equal importance to all nations and all men. No one would like to see himself and his race destroyed by his own invention; no one can accept the thought of humanity being driven toward mass destruction. We earnestly hope that the nations possessing nuclear weapons will finally agree to put an end to this evil device and turn it to peaceful uses for the betterment of life.
