that her impression of the United Nations is that of an organization in which everyone speaks but nobody listens. Therefore I should be very grateful to those who would care to listen to what I may have to say. I request them to give some attention to a somewhat new approach to the problem of disarmament. This approach is that the Security Council must become involved in disarmament. The Security Council has never entered into disarmament matters; nor has it ever held a session with regard to disarmament. Yet the Charter specifically provides, in Article 26, that the Security Council .should be involved in disarmament.
