UN General Assembly
1947

We note with regret that this new state of affairs is being created by unilateral actions contrary to international agreements such as the Potsdam Declaration. Thus, an attempt is being made to divide the world into two blocs, to separate the greater part of Europe from the rest of the world. With respect to Germany, I shall repeat what the Polish Government has already stated several times: we are prepared in the future to enter into normal international relations with a democratic and peace-loving Germany; we do not wish to build a wall around our country. However, in the process of European reconstruction, in the liquidation of the aftermath of the war, and even in the construction of world peace, we wish a certain hierarchy to be maintained, an order of priority not only based on needs, but also taking into account the relations between Allies and enemy countries.
