CONFIDENTIAL - 2 - partial case, nor for propaganda or campaigns of hatred, but for clarifying issues and as a means for composing differences. 3. 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. 40 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.
