While the Sovict Union indefatigably works for universal peace, the imperial- ists bend every effort to unleash a new war. The setting up of the North Atlan- tic alliance is particularly convincing proof of this. The aggressive character of this alliance, which is incompatible with the UN Charter and puts the in- ternational organization in jeopardy, was obvious from its inception and has been substantiated by the nature of all its ac- tions since then. The North Atlantic alliance is an instrument for the prepara- tion of war, and no country can prove the compatibility of such an aggressive bloc with the UN Charter. It is not a chance happening, therefore, that the enemies of peace are seeking to doom the United Nations to inaction and to replace it with another, “their own,” organization to serve as an obedient tool of the aggressors. The Soviet Union is working untir- ingly to buttress the UN, its Charter and principles, at all times defending the fundamental. rights of Members of the UN, the principle of equality of all countries, non-intervention in their in- ternal affairs, and rigid respect for their state sovereignty. Thus, the Soviet Un- ion firmly opposes the policy of dis- crimination in admitting new members to the UN, proposing that all states which have expressed a desire to join the UN be admitted together. The victory of China’s democratic forces over that country’s feudal reac- tionaries and foreign interventionists resulted in the establishment in 1949 of the People’s Republic of Chita. Not- withstanding the fact that its Govern- ment represents the entire Chinese peo- ple, 475,000,000 strong, the imperialist powets are preventing the lawful repre- sentatives of the People’s Republic of China from taking their proper place in the UN bodies, stubbornly keeping in the UN the delegates of the Chiang Kai- 602 shck puppet government which has been rejected by the Chinese people. The stand taken by the Soviet Union in demanding the expulsion of the Kuo- mintang imposters and recognition of the lawful right of the Central Govern- ment of the People’s Republic of China to represent that country in the UN is dictated by its concern for the prestige of the United Nations, for the observ- ance of its principles, and its Charter, which acknowledges as representing a particular country that government which actually governs it and which is recog- nized by its people. There is such a government in China; it is the Central Government of the People's Republic of China, and all nations know it. The imperialist powers, however, are op- posing recognition by the United Na- tions of the lawful rights of the People’s Republic of China, thereby sabotaging and paralyzing the work of the interna- tional organization. In the matter of imperialist aggres- sion in Korea too, the Soviet Union stands guard over the principles of international Jaw and the UN Charter. The Soviet Union has repeatedly set forth officially its stand on the Korean question. In his reply to the proposal of Prime Minister Nehru of India, J. V. Stalin expressed the will of the entire Soviet people to have that question solved peacefully and justly. ‘The declar- ation of Deputy Foreign Minister A. A. Gromyko and the repeated statements of Y. A. Malik, USSR representative in the Security Council, have given a de- tailed definition of the Soviet Govern- ment’s stand. The program of peaceful settlement of the Korean question pro- posed by the Soviet Union is in con- formity with the principles of the UN and the interests of the Korean people. In essence the proposals call for the re- storation to the Korean people of their suppressed rights, the removal of the foreign armed forces from the territory of Korea, and the pacific settlement of the Korean question. The proposals are approved by freedom-loving peoples, for they are in the interests of peace throughout the world. At the recently opened Fifth Session of the General Assembly, the Soviet Union has once again demonstrated its firm desire for a strong United Nations and its will to strengthen the peace and security of all peoples. A. Y. Vyshin- sky, head of the Soviet delegation, in- troduced on behalf of the Government of the USSR a declaration on means to avert the danger of a new war and strengthen world-wide peace and secur- ity. The declaration is a program for peace and concord among nations, the proposals being clear-cut and in the in- terests of all freedom-loving peoples. Confident of the people's inflexible will to peace as expressed in the hundreds of millions of signatures to the Stock- holm Appeal, and taking into account the events in Korea and other areas in the Pacific, the Soviet Union proposes that the propaganda for a new war which is being conducted in a number of countries be condemned and banned, and that the atomic weapon be uncon- ditionally prohibited and strict interna- ional control be established for the rigid and unquestionable enforcement of the prohibition. Also that the government which first employs against any country the atomic weapon or any other means of mass extermination of human beings shall be deemed a war criminal. The USSR further proposes that the five great powers — the United States of America, Great Britain, France, China, and the Soviet Union — which have a special responsibility for maintaining international peace and are permanent members of the Security Council, shall conclude a pact for the consolidation of peace, and that in this very year these reat powers shall reduce their armed forces by one-third, That is the policy of the Soviet Un- ion. It is a policy of strengthening the United Nations, a policy of peace and of the peaceful co-existence of peo- ples. The freedom-loving peoples wel- come the USSR’s great contribution to the fight for peace throughout the world. They are well aware of the fact that the Soviet Union is a reliable bul- wark of peace and friendship among the peoples and that it is working for the vital interests of all peace-loving peoples. The great peace movement is conclu- sive proof that the Soviet Union's un- ceasing effort in the United Nations for lasting peace enjoys the support of all progressive mankind.
