UN General Assembly
1953

1. Mr. DULLES (United States of America): It is an honour for me to be with you again. As one of the founding group at San Francisco, I shared in the hopes and labours which brought this Organization into existence. I have served at most of the previous sessions of the General Assembly and, at this new session, I am fortified by the fellowship of many of you who are veterans in the battle for peace. 2. The United States comes to this eighth session of the General Assembly with renewed determination to use for peace and justice the opportunities which this Organization provides. President Eisenhower has a deep and abiding faith in the United Nations. He has often said so and he has asked me to say it to you again. lie wants the United Nations to become an increasingly effective instrument of peace.
