normal work Of the United Ma
tons.
But 1t Is important that the
United Nations be in q position
to extinguish the sparks Of
wor wherever they may flare
up. How can this be done? It
can be done only with due re-
gard for the interests Of all
three groups Of states, the in
terestS Of the colonial nations
included.
Proceeding from the-present-
day conditions, is 1t possible
to pick one man for the office
of the u. N. Secretary General
who could take into considera-
ton the interests of all the
three groups Of states? We
think that is impossible.
NeutraIist Demands
But If we ourselves admit
that the appointment of a
representative of the Socialist
countries to the post OF Secre-
tary General would not create
normal conditions for the work
of this body, then how can the
Western powers demand of us
that we believe in the objec-
tivity Of their candidate, Mr..
Hammarskjold in this instance?
The neutrahst countries also
want to play their part in the
United Nations. They want
their interests to be secured,
and these legitimate demands
Of the neutralist countries
should be taken into account.
Therefore, the only correct
solution lies in the establish
ment Of such an executive body
In which the three groups OF
states would be represented
by three persons. and 1t is they
who would carry out the de-
cisions Of the Security Council
and the General Assembly.
Some say that If the execu-
tive body Of the United Nations
is composed Of three persons
1t will be paralyzed. But IL
will precisely be the task Of
those who are nominated to
this body to and such wise de-
ciSions as> would ensure peace
which means that they must
take into consideration the in
terestS Of all the groups OF
states. II decisions are taken
that meet the interests of only
one group. for example, If de-
cisions are taken, as is the
case now, with regard for the
interests Of the imperialist
states alone. such decision:
will be unrealistic.
u. N. Destruction
Those who allege that thu
Soviet Union Is advancing pro.
posalS which destroy thu
United Nations appraise tn,
U. N. activities from the stand.
point Of only one group o.
states. When we say that tn,
interests Of the first, secons
and third group Of state,
should be taken into consid,
Grafton they say that thi
means "the destruction of tn,
United Nations" No, this 4
q just demand. II not today
than surely tomorrow all tn,
nations Of the world will real
ize that the United Nation
must take the interests of al
states into account. The al
Tentative Is the domination o
one group Of states. But tina
means not the solution O
questions. but the aegravatioI
OF international tension which
may even lead to military con,
flictS.
The desire Of all men Z,
secure peace on earth is sacred
and the best guarantee of en-.
surfing peace is disarmament
1t is disarmament that all tn,
nations are yearning for. I
cannot be substituted by contro
over ornaments without dis,
armament. II our proposals OF
disarmament are accepted VI
are ready to accept any West
ern proposals on internationa
control.
What is the real meaning o
the control over armament
which was proposed to us b
the United States President
Mr.. Eisenhower, and which tn
Prime Minister of Great Brit
ain, Mr.. Macmillan, also re
ferred to? Control over arma
ments means recognition Of tn
necessity to have ornaments /,
the future, but it is clear to a
tina II ornaments exist then
whether they wish to or not
all those who possess arma
} ments will reac hfor the holster
will reach for arms at an
critical moment.
That is why the best guaran
tee Of peace lies in the de
struction Of the means of ex
terminating human beings, tn
destruction. Of ornaments. TIL
, Soviet people sincerely wan
disarmament.
Suggestion "Naive"
Some say that Khrushche
and Eisenhower should b
: locked in q room and kept ther
until they reach agreement o
disarmament. But this, {
J course. is naive. We may s
together indefinitely but If n
desire to come to agreement
evinced by the President an
particularly by those quarter
which back him, no smoke wi
come from the chimney as
the tradition when q Pope
elected.
! 1t is said that after a
agreement on disarmament
reached international arme
forces should be constituted. w
