SURPRISE
Mild Statement
On Germ Warfare
United Nations, June 18.
Russia called a meeting of the UN Security. Council on Wednesday, to consider its germ war fare charges and Jacob Malik surprised everybody by simply appealing for support of the Geneva Convention outlawing the use of bacteriological weapons without, delivering a propaganda speech against the United States.
Malik 'spoke less than twenty minutes and delivered an appeal for support of the Geneva Pro- tocol of 1925 in restrained terms. It had been anticipated he would use his position as president of the Council for June to parade discredited charges that the US forces, have used germ war- ' fare in Korea.
"
He simply pointed out that 48 countries had signed a treaty outlawing bacteriological wea- pond and 42 had ratified the In-. strument. He said that only the US and Bruzi among the mom- bers of the Security Council had talled to ratify it..
He said the threat from bacteriological weapons makes it Imperative that the United -Na- tions take the necessary steps to prevent their use as weapons."
