UN General Assembly
1946

The Canadian delegation, representing all major political parties in my country, desires to associate itself with the declaration made by the President of the United States of America. The people of Canada, as well as the people of the United States, “look upon the United Nations not as a temporary expedient but as a permanent partnership, a partnership among the peoples of the world for their common peace and common well-being.” My own Prime Minister, speaking a few months ago at a plenary session of the Paris Conference, said: “Years of war have surely taught us that no man liveth to himself, and that no nation liveth to itself. We are all members one of another.”
