ARRIVAL TEXT

NEW YORK, Sept. 19 (APJ
remarks of Soviet Premier XII
York today:
This is the second time that
I come to the United States
of America. Last year I was
the guest of the Government
Of your country. Today I come
to New York in a new capacity:
AS head of the delegation Of
the Soviet Union to the Gen.
eral Assembly of the United
Nations.
The thoughts and aSpira7
tions of most people in all
countries are today focused on
one goal which is how to
bring about a situation con-
ducive to insuring stable peace
throughout the world. 1t is
natural that, first and fore
most, the people look towards
two countries: The United
States Of America and the So
Wet Union. And this is not
because our countries are in
any way specially chosen or
marked by the heavens, but
because they are economically
the mightiest and are armed
with the most powerful Of
modern weapons. If differences
between us increase, and the
statesmen Of both countries do
not strive to check such a
trend in the development Of
relations between our coun-
tries, the impending menace
not only to the United States
and the Soviet Union. but to
the whole world as well, is
plain to all.
Seeks Settlement
We realize this and seek to do
the utmost in order to channel
the development of our rela-
tionS toward q peaceful settle
ment Of outstanding problems,
toward insuring universal peace.
Feelings and emotions must
not be given preference in poll
tics. In this field one must be
guided, above all, by common
sense, and must soberly weigh
all the circumstances. Such is
the lot of statesmen that they
have to travel not only to visit
close friends, but also wherever
they are called to go by the
interests Of their people and
the common cause Of all the
nations, the cause Of CONSOLE
dating world peace.
The Soviet Union attaches
paramount significance to the
problem of insuring stable
peace. To win such a peace ii
is required that all countries,
and above all, the United States
and its allies. be inspired with
the understanding of the neces-
sity to reach agreement on
disarmament under strict in
! ternational control.
Stable peace on earth can be
established only when all weap-
onS are scrapped. So long al
these weapons are loaded anc
are kept ina holster strapped
around ones waist, neither one
nor the other side will ever rest
assured that somewhere g
chance conflict will not fare
UP. It is for this reason that the
government of the Soviet Unior
turned to the United Nations ir
order to put up for considera-
ton by the General Assembly
the cardinal question of pres
ent-day international relation.
ships: The problem Of general
and complete disarmament
under the appropriate strict
international control.
Notes Gravity Of Issue
The Soviet government note.
with qualification that a mum.
Der of countries approach this
problem with the utmost gravi.
ty, and that leading statesmen
are heading the delegations oi
their countries to the United
Nations General Assembly.
Unfortunately, certain states.
men pay lip service to the
United Nations and advocate
strengthening its prestige, while
in actual fact they oppose any
useful discussion of the dis
armament problem by the
United Nations General As
sembly. What is this but dis
paragement Of the role of the
international organization that
is, above all, called upon to in
sure peace among nations? !
must say that it was, therefore,
very strange to read the recent
statement by Secretary Of
State Herter, to the effect that
Khrushchev is coming to
America with propaganda pur-
poses, that the Soviet proposal
regarding the participation Of
leading statesmen in the discus
sion of the disarmament prob
lem at the General Assembly is
completely ridiculous" A
strange sort of logic!
Disarmament, is, indeed, tha
most prominent international
issue which the representatives
of various states have for many
