I hope very much that the Soviet Union find it possible to join with us to prevent Germany again from becoming a menace to the peace of Europe. I hope also that this statement will put an end to the unwarranted charges that the United States is seeking to use its possession of the Atomic Bomb as a threat of force against the Soviet Union or that the responsible leaders of the Soviet Union so believe.

Byrnes speaks to mic: `In recent weeks much has been said about the quarrels and divisions in the Paris Peace Conference. Those differences cannot be dispelled, or reconciled, by a gloss of polite words. And in a democratic world those differences cannot and should not be kept from the peoples concerned. In a democratic world statesmen must share their trials, as well as their triumphs, with the people. It is better that the world should witness and learn to appraise clashes of ideas rather than clashes of arms. If this peace is to be a lasting peace it must be a people's peace. The peoples of this world, who long for peace, will not be able to make their influence felt if they do not know the conflict in ideas and in interest that give rise to war and if they do not know how the statesmen and the people of those countries view these conflicts.'
