would contend that it is a per-
feet instrument. not susceptible
to Improvement.
The United States believes
that this session should approve
in principal. the convening of a
Charter review conference. and
establish a preparatory commits
sion to prepare and submit
recommendations relating tosthe
date, place. organization and pro.
cedures of the General Review
Conference.
Intervening Events
Let me turn now to some Of
the events which have occurred
since last December. when the
Ninth Session adjourned.
On balance, these develop
ments have contributed notably
to the advancement of our
Charter goals of international
peace and security in conformity
with the principles of justice and
international law.
I shall allude only to those
where United States policy has
played a part, usually in part
nership with others.
Germany
Turning first to Europe. We see
that the Federal Republic of
Germany has become free and
sovereign state by treaties con-
cluded with it by France, Great
Britain and the United States.
Concurrently. the Federal Re-
public joined the Brussels and
North Atlantic Treaties.
Also. the Brussels Treaty was
itself made over so that. in COM
bination with the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, there was
developed an effective system of
limitation, control and integra-
tion of armed forces, the like of
which the world has never seen
before.
This system insures against
the use of national force in the
Western European area for ag-
gressive and nationalistic pur-
poses. The arrangements pro-
vide security, not only for the
participants. but also for the
non-participants.
They end the conditions
which have made Western Eu-
rope a source of recurrent wars,
the last two of which have de-
veloped into world wars, en-
dangering all.
Never before have collective
security and individual self
restraint been so resourcefully
and so widely combined. The
result can be hailed as a triumph
by all who believe in the, dual
principle of our Charter that
security is collective task, and
that armed force shall not be
used. save in the common in
terest." ,e
Austria
Asa sequence to these develop
ments regarding Germany, Aus
tria became free. The Austrian
state treaty, which had been
pending for eight years. was
signed last May and now Is in
effect.
Thus are finally fulfilled
pledges given by the Moscow
declaration of November, 1919
and hopes which this General
Assembly expressed at its seventh
session, fssEA
Il should be noted that the
Austrian state treaty, bearing
;he Soviet Unions signature,
contemplates support for Aus
tria's admission to the United
Nations.
Geneva Summit" Conference
Quickly following these Ger
man and Austrian developments
came new efforts by France,
Great Britain, the Soviet Union
and the United States to reduce
the danger of war and to solve
outstanding issues by negotia-
tion.
Last May the three Western
powers proposed a "two-stage"
effort. The first stage" would
be a meeting Of the heads of
government themselves to pro-
vide "a new impetus" for a
second stage" which would be
that of detailed examination Of
the substance of the problems.
The first phase of the program
occurred at Geneva last July
when the four Heads of Govern
ment met. They clearly mani
tested their common desire for
peace and better relations. Spe-
cifically they agreed that further
efforts should be made in three
fields. namely:
ID European security and
Germany; (2) disarmament. and
t3) development of contracts be-
tween East and West.
Nov, we enter on the agreed
second stage where the. spirit
of Geneva will be tested. A
United Nations subcommittee is
