STORY ON PAGE 7

A new peace resolution to end the war crisis laid before
the UN General Assembly last week was suppressed by
most Canadian newspapers. Presented by Soviet Foreign Min-
ister Andrei Vishinsky at the conclusion of a powerful appeal
for peace, the resolution urged:

4 —SBanning of the atom bomb with “strict “international
control over precise and unconditional realization of this
ban.”

2 —A Five-Power Peace Pact to be signed by the Soviet
Union, the United States, Britain, France and the People’s
Republic of China.

3— Immediate reduction by one third of all armaments of
the five great powers and discussion by the UN of effect-
ing further reductions.

Introducing the Soviet peace resolution, Vishinsky de-
clared: “The Soviet Union delegation, on instruction from the
government of the Soviet Union, with view to strengthening
peace and security among the nations of th world and to re-
move the threat of a new war, submits to the General Assem-
bly for consideration the following declaration for the re-
moval of the threat of.a new war and for strengthening of
the peace and security of nations.”

Text of the resolution follows.
The General Assembly:

@ Taking into consideration that the most important task
of the United Nations is the maintenance of international
peace and security. the consolidation and development of
friendly relations between peoples and their cooperation in
solving international problems.

@ Expressing its firm determination to avert the threat
of a new war and sharing the unbending will to peace of the
peoples who expressed this desire by hundreds of millions of
signatures to the Stockholm appeal;

@ Regarding use of the atomic weapon and other means
for mass annihilation of people as the gravest international
crime against mankind and proceeding from unanimous de-
cision of the,General Assembly in 1946 on the necessity to
ban use of atomic energy for military aims;

@ Noting that the events taking place at the present in
Korea and in other Pacific areas confirm with renewed force
the exceptional importance and timeliness for the cause of
peace and security of peoples, of united efforts of the five
powers—permanent members of the Security Council who
bear special responsibility for the maintenance of interna-
tional peace;

Decides to approve the following declaration:

1— The General Assembly condemns propaganda of a
new war carried out in a number of countries and appeals to

all governments that they should prohibit such propaganda
in their countries and call those guilty to-account;

2.— The General Assembly recognizing that the use of
the atomic weapon as a weapon of aggression and mass an-
nihilation of people is contrary to the conscience and the
honor of peoples and incompatible with membership in the
United Nations declares an unqualified ban on the atomic
weapon and the establishment of strict international control
over precise and unconditional realization of this ban;
