the United States and the Soviet
Union. This is not the case. The
fact is that not single one OF the
major unsettled questions OF the
postwar world is primarily a dis
agreement between this country and
the Soviet Union. We are not en-
gagged in a struggle with the Soviet
Union for any territory or for eco
nomic gain. We have no hostile or
aggressive designs against the Soviet
Union or any other country. We are
not waging cold war
The cleavage that exists is not
between the Soviet Union and the
United States. 1t is between the
Soviet Union and the rest of the
world.
The great questions at stake today
affect not only the United States
and the Soviet Union; they affect all
nations.
Whether it be control of atomic
energy, aggression against small ma
tons the German or the Austrian
peace settlements, or any of the
other questions, the majority OF ma
tions concerned have found COM
mon basis for action. But in every
case the majority agreement has
been rejected, denounced and openly
attacked by the Soviet Union and
the satellites whose policies it con-
trolls.
Let me repeat: The division has
not been between the United States
and the Soviet Union but between
the Soviet Union and the free ma
tions of the world.
>sssss~ yES. Approves Force.
The United States is strongly de-
voted to the principle of discussion
and negotiation in settling interna-
tional differences. We do not be-
heve in settling international diff
ferences by force. There are certain
types of disputes in international af-
fairs which can and must be settled
by negotiation and agreement.
But there are others which are not
susceptible to negotiation.
There is nothing to negotiate when
one nation disregards the principles
of international conduct to which all
members of the United Nations sub
scribe and habitually uses coercion
or open aggression in international
affairs.
What the world needs in order
to regain a sense of security is an
end to Soviet obstruction and
aggression. I will give you two clear
illustrations of what have in mind
The situation in Greece has caused
great unrest Throughout the world
It has been the subject of series
of investigations on the part OF
commissions of the United Nations
The fact have been established over
and over again by these investiga-
tions. They are clear beyond dis
pute. Some 10000 Greek guerrillas
have been able to keep Greece in a
state of unrest and to disrupt Greek
recovery, primarily because of the
dlu anu COIlilOlt u tiICy lihfC OCClI iS-
ceiving from the neighboring coun-
tries of Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and
Albania
Last October. the United Nations
General Assembly adopted a resolu-
ton calling upon Bulgaria, Yugo-
slavia and Albania to stop their
illegal aid and comfort to the Greek
rebels. This resolution was agreed
to by more than two-thirds of the
membership of the United Nations.
But it has been boycotted by Russia.
Opportunity for Russia.
On its own initiative the Soviet
government can cease its boycott of
the United Nations recommendation
1t can join with other Nations in
stopping illegal foreign support of
the Greek guerrillas so that Greece
may have an opportunity for peace
full reconstruction.
If the Soviet Union genuinely de-
sires to make contribution to peace
