partial case, nor for propaganda or campaigns of hatred, but for
clarifying issues and as a means for composing differences.

An aspect of this development is the assumption by the
General Assembly of greater responsibility for the main-
tenance of peace. Member States too have an increasing responsibility
to stand together in support of peace. It is their duty to prepare
themselves for and participate in collective action. Fulfillment of
this responsibility is also reflected in what is being done, within the
framework of the United Nations, to strengthen peace through regional
and collective self-defense arrangements and through common cooperative
action in areas where no such arrangements have been expressly entered
into.

The question of disarmament could be related to collective
security and the responsibilities of states and of the
United Nations to further the disarmament program could be emphasized.
Our approach to the question of disarmament would be outlined in this
context.
5.
A section would deal with Korea: first as an example of the
role of the United Nations in collective action, and the
responsibility of States to participate to the fullest extent of their
capabilities. Secondly, in terms of the responsibility of the General
Assembly to help bring about an honorable armistice in accordance with
Charter principles. Thirdly, the question of the future of the Korean
action in terms of the responsibility of the General Assembly and of
States for increased participation and more equitable sharing of the
burdens. This ection would also state our conception of United States
responsibility in its special capacity as the agent for the United
Nations in conducting the military operation and in the truce nego-
tiations. Finally, reference would be made to the present and future
role of the United Nations in the reconstruction of Korea.
6.
A section would be devoted to the complex of colonial problems
in terms of the role that the United Nations can play in their
solution and of the responsibilities of the nations involved. The
responsibility of Governments toward the peoples of areas they control
is to lead them to self-government. The responsibility of dependent
peoples is to develop their capacity to govern themselves. The respon-
sibility of both is to seek peaceful settlements where disagreements
arise. And the responsibility of the United Nations is to assist in
achieving a peaceful solution. This section would deal generally with
the competence of the Assembly and with the functions of discussion and
resolution in such cases, -- not to arouse passions or create pressures
but rather to find common ground for agreement.
