ttons OF an UNOFFICIAL translation
of Soptet Deputy Foreign Min
ister Andret Y. VisT1inskys speech
before the United Nations AS
sen,bly yesterday:
A year has passed since the first
session of the General Assembly. I'll
Is necessary to cast retrospective
glance on the way passed and toI
make an analysis of the work per-
formed during this time by the
United Nations, to summarize Ger
tain results and to outline possible
prospectives.
Casting its retrospective glance,
the Soviet delegation must state
that during the period covered by
the report there were serious set
backs In the activity Of the United
Nations.
These setbacks are to a large ex-
tent a result OF tendency Of such
influential members of the United
Nations Organization as the United
States Of America and Great Britain
to utilize the Organization in the
interests of their small groups with
out any regard for strengthening Of
the international cooperation on
the basis of the principles expressed
in the Charter. The policy to use
the Organization by individual
states for the purpose Of achieving
their own selfish, narrowly conceived
interests leads to undermining the
ORGANIZATIONS prestige.
@hn TIC
factory state of affairs In the United
Nations organization which mega
lively tells upon it's prestige, Is a
result of ignoring Of the organiza-
ton by the states mentioned above,
who attempt to carry out number
of practical measures outside OF the
framework of the United Nations
organization and with lack OF due
regard to 1t.
It Is necessary to draw attention
to q serious menace thus created for
the United Nations Organization by
such a policy incompatible with the
principles of the charter and with
the aims and purposes envisaged
by the United Nations when estab-

ARMS REDUCTION.
Among the most important set
backs of activities of the United
Nations Organization one should
mention In the first place the un-
satisfactory realization of the as
sembly's decision Of December IA,
194e, on universal reduction of ar
maments. .
The whole activity Of the Ameri-
can and British delegations in the
commission for the conventional
armaments testifies that the United
States and Great Britain are un-
willing to disarm and that they put
brakes on the realization Of dis
armament which gives reason for
anxiety among the peace-loving
ATOMIC.
A particularly unsatisfactory
state of affairs with the outlawing
of atomic and other principal types
of weapons Of mass determination
gives rise to particular anxiety on
the part of millions Of common
people. The anxiety is all the more
justified for the reason that the
atomic weapons are weapons OF at
tack and that of aggression. After
one and a half years Of work OF the
Atomic Commission, none OF the
tasks set to it by the General AS
sembly's resolution OF December H.
1o46. not only has not been COM
nleted. but there has not been the
slightest progress IN the 1ulnliment
of those tasks.
The Soviet government on It's part
undertook a number Of steps with
the aim to contribute to the positive
eolution of this question.
Nevertheless that proposal met with
a resistance, mainly on the part OF
the United States The United
States, believing that 1t will continue
to exercise a monopoly with REGARDS
to the atomic weapons, resists any |
attempts to dislnantle the existing
stock of atomic bombs and outlaw
their further production. AT the
same time the United States sys-
tematically increases the proouc-
tion of such bombs.
TRUMAN DOCTRINE AND
MARSHALL PLAN.
The so-called Truman's doctrine
and Marshall plan are particularly
stri,ing instances of the violation
~ the United Nations Organization
PRINCIPLES and Of ignoring the Or
ganization.
The experience Of the few past
months has proved that declaration
of this doctrine meant that cne
United States Government openly
eaye I'D the principles OF interna-
tional cooperation and concerted
actions of the great powers and
nassed to the attempts to dictate It's
will to other independent nations,
utilizing at the same time the
economic means, allotted rs relief
for individual countries In need, for
an open political pressure. This mas
been sufnciently illustrated by the
measures undertaken by the United
states Government in Greece and
turkey outside of the framework OF
the United Nations Organization
and in evasion of 1t, as well as by
the measures planned for Europe In
accordance with the so-called Mar
shall plan. Such policy Is in deep
contradiction with the principle pro-
claimed by the General Assembly in
It's resolution of December IL, 1S46,
that the assistance to other coun-
tries should never be used as po-
litical weapons"
The Marshall Plan is in fact, as
1t is quite clear now, but another
version of the Truman Doctrine ad-
iusted for the conditions of the post
war Europe 1t is getting more
and more clear to everybody that
Marshall Plan being put into ef-
feet will mean a subjugation OF the
European countries to the economic
and political control exercised by
the United States and direct inter-
ference on their part with the in
ternal affairs Of those countries.
At the same time this plan Is an
attempt to break Europe into two
camps and complete with the as
