UN General Assembly

124. We did not need the terrible example of Hungary to show us what to expect. We knew it already. We know that if we obtained Irish unity with Soviet support what kind of unity that would be. We do not want to see the day when the representative of an Ireland united but enslaved would have to speak at this tribune as the unfortunate man who calls himself the representative of Hungary has had to speak during these last days. 125. I would respectfully ask the representatives of the Arab countries to consider whether the same line of reasoning may not be to some extent applicable to their own case. People who solve a problem with Communist aid are apt to find that the solution is very much worse than the problem was.
