Researcher Comments
Commentary: If the Soviet Union really want peace it must prove it. Not by glittering promises and false propaganda, but by living up to the United Nations Charter. If the Soviet Union really wants peace, it must prove it and could have proved it on any day since June the 25th by telling the North Koreans to lay down their arms. If the Soviet Union really wants peace . etc. by lifting the Iron Curtain and permitting free information and ideas . If the Soviet Union . etc. by joining in the efforts of the United Nations to secure peace. If the Soviet Union etc. . A system to eliminate the ‘A’ Bomb and the regulation of other arms etc. We want peace, but it must be a peace founded upon justice . What we want is a partnership of peace with all the World.
