j..-+ October 1947

REPORT TO THE SI!;cRE'rARY-G.sNERAL

FIRST CO)fi.:ITTEE - Eighty-second meeting.

The representative ot Turkey stated that the resentment of the

Turkish preas was caused by the unparalleled slanders, threats and

pro'lOcationa of the _Sonet pnas and radio. In the Turkish language,,". ,

the Soviet radio was inciting the Turkish people against their lawful

Government and urging the Tul"kiah al'lllJ" to rebellion. The SoTiet press

was war-mongenng in &1'Ousing the SaTie\ people against their neighbours

and inciting the Arabs and the Greek people against Turkey. He &1M

reterred to the territorial elaiu ot the SoTiet Union againat Turkey.

The representative ot India opposed. B.n1 ass.ssment ot guilt. All

the texts before the COIIIlittee were too narrow. Since war-mongering

was a180 manitested in the creation of racial bittemes., the elaboration

ot ideologies of race supremac.v and the view that certain parts of the

'World were the inalienable possession ot certain races. Suppression

or destruction of the tNth was as great a crime as war-mongering, ancl

the radio and the film industr'J could be as da.ngerou,B a8 the press.

Within their narrow limits, parts ot the Canadian and Australian

propoS&18 were worthy of Rpport.

After giving further quotations !f'om the speecheso! wa~IIlOngers,

the representative of the Ukrainian S.S.R. made a theoretical analysis

of the tendencies ot capital1l1111 to ~rs, but concluded tha.t .. with good

will, capitaUSIIl a.nd lSOciali_ could co-exiat peacefully. At some length

he atta.cked the doctrine of an armed truce .. which led to an armamentsrace aDd a.ggressive war. He refuted arguments based on !reedom ot the

press &8 hypocritical and noted the d.efecta in the United Stat••

practice in the field of human rights.. Because ot the great polit.1eaJ.

importance of this question, it was impossible for the General Assembly

to avoid it. re8pon~ibilityand pass the task on to the Conterence to

be held in Mareh ..

the representat.ives or t.he Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Costa

Rica, Nev Zealand, NetherlandsaD1 Uruguay opposed the U.S.S.R. resolution.

It was argued that this resolution proposed an in&dmi.suble l1Ja1tation

of the fre~om of the press and. that nil propaganda 8hould. be count.ereel

not be suppression but. by a free nov ot correct intol"Jllat10n.

Several reprea8ntatiTes eaid tha.t propaganda was the main motiva of

the Soviet. resolution and alleged war-eK>ngeriDg a.gainst. the Soviet Union.

'l"he representat1ve ot Urugual rererred to the act1vities of the

Communist Party in his country and 1n other Lata American countries and

noted the surprising amount of funds at its disposal.

The Australian text was supported in principle by the representative.

of Guatemala, Costa. Rica and New Zealancl; the canadian text was supported

by the 'representative of Netherlands; and t.he ne. French proposal va.supported by the representative ot Uruguay.

The French proposal (doeu.ment A/C.l/221) condemned all propaganda,

in all countries and under all tOI"JU, which could provoke or encourage

threats to the peace, and expressed the hope that the Conterence on

Freedom of Intormat10n would fonm.lat.- recommendat.ions.

conlider the various proposals betore the COJIIIIIitt.e.

In a Tery long speech Mr. Viah1naky analysed the gener'al debate

and replied 1n particular to Dr. E'Y&tt, Senator Austin and Mr .. s&rper.

He also stressed the control ot the weatem pre•• by banld.l18 and.

cOJDJIlercial interests and concluded that these interest. already

exercised a private censorah1p.

At BODle length he quoted trom captured GeNaIl cloeum.ents to abov

that Turkey had intrigued. with the Germans against the So,net Union and

had envisaged great territorial expansion at the cost of the s.rtet Union.

The representative ot furkey countered by referring to intrigue.

between }/;oscow and Berlin directed. against the alliance between Turke;y.

France and Fngland. He said that quoting trom. cap-tured German dOCWllent,

vas Ii game that tlf'O could pla.y and that he would be heard on this subject

It the lovr pewere coulct not reach agreeaent, the interest. of the

The Bonet proposal. tor evacua.tion ot troops was not appropriate UIltll

ot the evaeuation .houl.d be care!'lJlly determined after eonsulta$tion with

the four powera.

He did not agree vith Dr. Evatt'. association of this question with the,

Japanese peace ••ttluumt.. As to the Soviet proposal tor participation by

be elected by the Korean' people and should be able to state the view of the

Korean people as & lidlole.

Mr. Hamai 1 lIlT aaid that t.be Soviet. proposal should be considered first,

in accordance with t.he rul.ea ot procedure, siDee it was the most. racl1cal aDd.

reuoDable al1l&Mtion. It waa neceaa&17 that. the repreeentatiY.a of t.he
