UN General Assembly
1952

51. When it made a careful and patient examination of the long list of items on the agenda of the present session, my Government, like that of all nations which love peace and order, was never for a moment unaware of the almost insurmountable difficulty inevitable and relentlessly arising in connexion with every problem before the General Assembly, due to the continued misunderstanding of certain governments whose selfish interests, sharpened by ideological zeal, lead them to reduce all their arguments to vituperation and slander and whose totally intransigent attitude in most cases frustrates or disappoints the most legitimate hopes for a speedy settlement of disputes and the successful outcome of that high endeavour which it is the duty of the United Nations to make in order to lead the peoples of the world towards true progress.
