UN General Assembly
1948

Among other representatives of world public opinion, the Executive Committee of the Association of Scientific Workers in the United Kingdom, the country represented by Mr. Bevin, had spoken against the Baruch Plan. In August 1947 it had published a memorandum criticizing the Plan and agreeing on a number of points with the USSR proposals. Mr. Bevin appeared to have forgotten all that. In his presentation of the matter, the work of the Atomic Energy Commission had been interrupted because of the unyielding attitude of the Soviet Union Government, an attitude which had allegedly prevailed in all the relations of the USSR with the United Kingdom and the United States.
