United States urges immediate disarmament talks at UN
In Paris on November 9 the United States pressed the Soviet Union to begin disarmament talks now within the United Nations rather than await a Russian proposed world conference outside the UN. Ambassador Jessup urged Vishinsky to proceed, while Tito accused the Soviets of pressure against Yugoslavia. The assembly continued with reactions to the arms plan as Vishinsky urged an early conference before June 1952. New Zealand and Australia voiced surprise and concern at Vishinsky’s levity, and Haiti criticized the rhetoric as nonsensical. The moon’s brightness was noted at the end of the report.
