VISHINSKY SURPRISE

What motives Inspired Soviete Vice Foreign Minister Andrei, Vishinsky to suggest. that the meetings: of the United Nations General Assembly should be held in Geneva?. Në one except the Kremlin can be sure. But this is the only sensible or helpful suggestion put forward by Russia “sinta" the organisation of the United Nations was first inaugurated. It is therefore much to be regretted that both U.S. Seere tary of State James F. Brices and British Foreign Secretary Erncat Bevin felt it necessary to reject this proposal.

Admittedly, it is tiresome of the Russians to wait till this. late stage to make this sugges- tion. The Soviets, to begin with, were opposed to the United Nations meeting any where in Europe. In particular, they opposed any suggestion that Geneva (should be the place. In those days, Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov -denouncing Switzerland 'ns a "hot bed of Fasciam. So, largely to please Russia, it was decided to establish the U.N.- headquarters in the United States.
