question is most essential for
the consolidation of peace in
the Far East and in the whole
world.
Only madmen can contem-
plate solving the Korean ques-
ton through the use of armed
force.
The proposal of the govern
ment of the Korean Peoples
Democratic Republic about a
confederation of North and
South Korea is as reasonable
as the proposal CT the govern
ment of the German Demo-
cratic Republic on setting up
a confederation between the
two German states. This is the
only way to a good start for
the peaceful reunif1cation of
these states.
We would like to hope that
the United Nations will success
fully accomplish the response
BILE tasks dictated by the world
situation, which is still dis
turbing.
The experience of the work
of the United Nations has dem
onstrated that this body is use
full and necessary. In the course
Of the United Nations activi-
ties, however, some of its neg
ative aspects also come to light.
The executive machinery of
the organization also is consti-
tuted partially. 1t often ap-
proaches the solution of ques-
tions from the standpoint of a
certain group of countries.
Partially in the implementa-
ton Of practical measures on
the part of the United Nations
was particularly manifested in
the events that flared up in the
Congo. Mr.. Hammarskjold, the
Secretary General, in imple-
menting the decisions of the
Security Council, in effect
sided with the colonialists and
with the countries that support
the colonialiSts. This is a very
dangerous thing.
We have come to the firm
conclusion that the time has
come to create conditions for
a more effective work both of
the United Nations as a whole
and of this organizations ex-
ecutive working body.
In brief we consider it ex-
pedient to set up instead of a
Secretary General who is pres
entity the interpreter and execu-
ter Of the Assembly and Sc
curity Council decisions on a
collective executive body of the
United Nations comprising
three persons, each of whom
would represent a certain group
OF states. A def1nitive guaran-
tee would thereby be created
that the work of the United
Nations executive would not be
conducted to the detriment of
any Of these groups of states.
Then the United Nations ex-
ecutive will really be a demo-
cratic body, it will really safe
guard the interests of all United
Nations member states irrespec-
tive Of the social and political
systems Of the various states
making up the United Nations.
Moving Headquarters
The question arises of
Of whether or not thought
should be given to the choice of
another locale for the United
Nations headquarters which
would better facilitate work of
this international organization.
Switzerland or Austria might
well be such a place, for ex-
ample.
I can declare in all RESPONSE
bility that if it should be con-
sidered expedient to house the
United Nations headquarters in
the Soviet Union we guarantee
the best possible conditions for
its work, complete freedom and
security for the representatives
of all states.
Concluding my address I
wish to emphasize once again
that the Soviet government,
guided by the interests of the
Soviet people, by the interests
OF the citizens of the free So
cialist state once again is pro-
posing to all: Let us talk. ar
que, but let us solve the oues-
ton of general and complete
disarmament. Let us bury CO.
lonialism that has been con-
