UN General Assembly
1952

76. It seems to me that all these facts are sufficiently convincing to .show the hypocrisy of the oratory of the, leading political personalities of the United States and the worthlessness of the various plans which they and their allies in the United Nations put forward for the alleged purpose of prohibiting atomic weapons and reducing armaments. It is thus no accident that the United States Government is making every effort to increase even further the production of atomic weapons, Whereas $418 million, were spent on, the production of atomic weapons in 1945 and 1946— according to published data, which are certainly an understatement — $897 million were spent in 1950-1951 and $1,700 million in the current year 1952-1953. During the next two years, It is estimated that this expenditure will increase to $3,000 million. Those figures are sufficient, too, to show that the ruling circles of the United States are not thinking of reducing the production of atomic weapons, much less of prohibiting it, and that every statement by official United States representatives on their readiness to prohibit atomic weapons is absolutely false and solely directed at misleading naive and over credulous persons.
