Allies Impose Blockade On Russians In Berlin
United Nations shelved its two year push for global disarmament after a British resolution backed by a nine to two vote, opposed by Soviet Ukraine and Russia. The plan linked disarmament to international control of atomic energy and a global police force, with Molotov proposing a broader cut in armaments but banning atomic weapons and weapons of mass destruction. The action effectively ends the current effort until further developments.
