Of the people of the Congo, all the
efforts of the government, of parli-
ament, of the population itself,
would not have availed very much
If we had been left to ourselves.
Fortunately for US, we have
found in the world people Of great
understanding. people Of great
friendship. We have found count
ries which have helped US, and
which have helped US continuously
without Interior motivation.
This help has enabled us to
try (?O. I must tell you perhaps
something, Mr.. President, which
appears to be a secret. In your
speech you seemed to speak Of a
superman somewhere in the Congo,
someone who had succeeded all by
himself in overcoming irresistible
obstacles, and in re-establishing
something that has to be re-estab-
hshed: Peace in the Congo.
This, Mr.. President, Is not true
There is no such man. There Is no
man who could have done that by
himself. There is only a common
man who wanted to serve his
country, and who accepted the diff
ficult task of forming a govern
ment, only because he knew that
there were people in the world
who are ready and willing to help
him.
This help, Mr.. President, has
come primarily from you, from
your government, from your
country, through the United Ma
tons organization. This is help
which you have given us by help
ing the United Nations from its
very beginnings - by helping the
United Nations to carry out the
directives Of the Security Council
and of the General Assembly's di-
receives, which you have helped to
forge.
"You have done that in the past,
Mr.. President, and I am quite GER
tain that your Administration
stands ready to continue such a
policy in the present - policy of
help to others - continuous, will
ing help with no Interior motiva-
ton. This is what you have done
for the Congo. This is the help
which is necessary.
"Now there was a time when
people used to say about Amer
lean policy that it was a naive
policy, that Americans are people
who believe everybody, who can
get fooled easily, who sometimes
behave like a bull in a china shop.
To-day, Mr.. President, no one
can say that about American pol
icy. This time you have scored a
bulls eye, and this time you have
proven that your policy is positive,
that it is realistic, and I am GER
tain that your policy is going to
reach its goal and greatly increase
the prestige of the United States
in the world.
Another question which Is
mentioned Is that of neutralism.
Now here is non-alignment. You
have to understand non-alignment
to mean simply that each country
wishes to remain independent and
free, free and independent to de-
fend its own principles, free and
independent to be able to reconcile
various interests, to reconcile and
compromise its own interests with
those of its friends, and not only
of its friends also all Of the people
in the entire world. That Is what
we mean by non-alignment. That
is why believe that this must be
the policy not only Of the Congo
lese government but also of the
entire Congolese people.
IT must interrupt my speech
because If I did not, If I let myself
be carried away, would repeat
speaking about you, Mr.. President
the kind words which you have
addressed to me. There Is no nee
essity, however, to do that, be-
