MOLOTOP WANTS ©
WORLD PARLEY
SARMAMENT

SAN FRANCISCO

A. world conference, to be held “‘not later than the
first half of 1956,” for the purpose-of discussing “‘the gen-
eral. reduction of armaments and prohibition of atomic
weapons’ was proposed by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov in his address to the 10th anniversary meeting of

the United Nations here on Wed-

nesday this week.

Speaking before an overflow
audience which packed the war
memorial opera house in the
city where the, United Nations
was founded 10 years ago, Molo-
tov made these proposals:

@ That the basic proposals for
disarmament presented by
the Soviet Union on May 10
be approved as a means of
securing “the reduction of

armaments, the prohibition .

of atomic weapons and the
removal of the threat of a
hew war.”

@® That the great powers “agree
to renounce the use of
atomic and, hydrogen .wea-
pons and to outlaw these
weapons completely.”

“The United Nations,’ Molotov

Said, “can and should play an

outstanding part in the efforts

to cement peace.
“The United Nations should

_do all it can to put an end to

existing international tension and
to facilitate the achieving of
mutual trust among the nations,
an. achievement which would
meet the desires of the peoples
for peace and for a tranquil and
peaceful life.”

Molotov reiterated the Soviet
demand for the seating of Peo-
ple’s China and the ousting of

Chiang Kai-shek’s rump Formosa
regime from the Chinese seat it
now occupies in the UN.

“The situation is obviously un-
sust and unlawful,” he declared.
“This unlawfulness can no long-
cr be tolerated without under-
mining confidence in the aes
Nations.

“The Chinese People’s Bepulst
lic must without further pro-
crastination be accorded full pos-
sibility to have its representa-
tives both in the General As-
sembly and in the Security Coun-
cil”
