Vishinsky demands UN reforms as precondition for world peace
In a sharp United Nations General Assembly speech Andrie Vishinsky urged key demands before peace could be possible. He pressed for Chinese Communist admission to the UN and outlined conditions including veto restraint, universal atomic ban, security council control of armed forces, international control of aid to developing nations, and non-discriminatory trade. Meanwhile in Korea, harsh winter slowed UN advances with about 100,000 Chinese and Korean Communist troops on a 60 mile Yalu line as snowdrifts blocked supply routes. Russians threatened intervention over alleged Japanese involvement, citing a Chinese Russian treaty as a basis for action.
