UN General Assembly
1957

49. Even if Mr. Gromyko considers that the Hungarian people have had their say, this Organization should not be silenced. Until the Hungarian people are independent and have the right to determine their own future, we cannot remain silent. I say no more about Hungary today because there has recently been a lengthy debate in which our views were fully stated. 50. I now turn to the Middle East. This is the area of greatest tension at the moment. In 1948 I suppose it was Europe. From 1950 to 1952 or 1953 I suppose it was Korea. In 1954 it was Indo-China. Last year and this year without doubt it has been the Middle East. I do not want to add by anything I say to this tension. I merely want to outline some of the facts as we see them and try to measure deeds against some of the speeches here.
