"And 1t signals the pressing
need to get on with interna-
tional arrangements to make q
start on the regulation of mans
activities away from his earthly
home"
First U. N. Appearance
Then, in an appeal which
seemed to be directed straight
to Mr.. Khrushchev, he said:
There could be no more dra-
matte illustration of q spirit of
cooperation in the world today
as we stand on the threshold
of the space age than for this
Assembly to act unanimously in
this field. This would be a ma
jor step forward in the process
Of peaceful change"
This was Mr.. Herter's first
appearance before the Assem-
bly, since he succeeded John
Foster Dulles as Secretary OF
State earlier this year. He was
mostly conciliatory in dealing
with the Soviet Union. but he
pulled no punches on the Chi
. nese Communists and their &C
tivities in the Far East.
Mr.. Herter fatty rejected the
recent Soviet proposal for a
new international conference
on troubled Laos. This problem.
he said, is being handled by
the u. N. Security Council and
its special fact-finding commit
tee now in the little Southeast
Asian kingdom.
He declared that q con-
ference such as the Soviet
Union proposed would be dis
ruptive and would ignore the
authority Of the United Ma
tionS."
Warning on Aggression
He added a warning:
THE United States is pledged
under the GU. M charter toI
resist aggression. 1t will full
fill this pledge without equivo-
cation. We will support the
royal Laos government in its
own efforts to preserve indie
pendence."
Mr.. Herter called Red
China's Intervention In Tibet
a s'revolting spectacle" and
charged brutal Chinese Com
munist repression of the fun
daEnental human rights Of the
Tibetans."
'.This is a matter" he added.
(which is of deep concern to
the. United Nations. Certainly
this organization must speak
out In clear terms In the race
Of such events"
Mr.. Herter also charged the
Peiping regime with fiouting
the terms Of the Korean armis-
tice and with carrying on q
campaign of harassm n t
against Formosa. Despite
months Of negotiation. he said.
the Chinese Communists have
refused to renounce the use Of
force. "a
Opposes Seating Peiping
'The Chinese Communist re-
ginle," he declared. ..has DEM
onstrated more clearly in the,
past year than at any other
time since the aggression in
Korea its complete unitness to
be admitted to this organiza-
ton.
I'VE are confident that the
members Of this Assembly will
continue to resist efforts to OBJ
tain China's seat in the United
Nations for the Communist re-
girne."
Mr.. Herter devoted most Of
his speech to the theme Of
peaceful change and measures
to bring it about. The major
problem of the U. NJ. he said,
should be to prevent change
through the use Of aggressive
force, while devising processes
to accomplish needed and con-
str0ctive change t hroug h
peaceful means"
I'VE will always negotiate
with other states" he said. ito
achieve peaceful polite j
change which derives from the
freely given consent OF the
peoples concerned"
Hopes on beTpn
Dealing with specific issues,
he said:
Berlin-the Western powers
"have some hope that a re-
sumed foreign ministers con-
ference can agree on arrange
ments for Berlin which would
safeguard the future Of the
West Berliners."
Nuclear test ban-the United
States hopes that If the three
power negotiations are per-
mitted to continue in Geneva
significant progress can be
made"
Disarmament = the United
States will work earnestly to
reach an agreement at the
forthcoming negotiations.
Outer space - The United
States will continue to oppose
the Soviet idea of dealing with
this problem on the basis of
equal representation Of the
East and West.
Economic - IF peaceful
change is to be accomplished
in the political and military
field, it must also go forward
at an increasing pace in the
economic field"
Barriers-The world is be-
ginning to break down barriers
between East and West but this
must be pushed further. He
appealed to the Soviet Union
