| Description: | Poor image quality. The General Assembly of the United Nations opens its session with a full dress debate on Hungary, seeking to ease red repression. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. delivers speech, leads in the attack on Soviet brutality. United States Ambassador - Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., "The speech last May 9th to the General Assemble in Budapest. Mr. Khaddar is reported to have rejected political reforms in the Soviet occupied state by saying; " We can not turn back the wheel of history". Mr. President, I think there is great doubt that Mr. Khaddar and his Soviet masters know in which direction the wheel of history is turning. They seem to be trying with all their might to wrench it out of its natural path. But surely it can not forever be made to turn in the direction that causes so much death, fear, and heartache and suffering for millions of people. The faith of the sponsors of this resolution is that the wheel of history can with God's help and stead fast human effort be made to move towards justice and towards truth." | |
