Ten Million Words Later

After deliberating 13 weeks, listening to 10,720,000 words (enough to fill twelve Bibles), and issuing 40 million handouts, the U.N. General Assembly concluded its Paris session and adjourned until Sept. 16, when it will meet again in New York.

Its contributions to world peace: 1) the establishment of an international Disarmament Commission, which will probably get nowhere; 2) a resolution asking member nations to keep armed forces ready for use against aggressors. Russia objected to both. The Assembly's final vote was another Russian defeat: a decision (51 to 5) to rush into special session if a Korean peace is signed, or, more ominously, if "other developments in Korea make consideration of them desirable."
