To try to find the formula for peace, to try to review our military operations, to try to exchange views with the leaders of seven countries. We do not expect any magic wonders, we do not expect any miracles. But we do think that each nation who has man committed to die, their leaders opt to get around the table and get the best thinking of the best man those nations can send" said President Johnson.

Continued from Shot No. 8434 (Part 9/15 of speech): MWS of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker delivering his speech to the United Nations Assembly on September 26, 1960. Transcript is as follows:"With Mankind waiting for us to act, what good can there come in threats to rain rockets or nuclear bombs on other countries, large or small, to dispatch so-called volunteers into situations already dangerously inflamed, to encourage political leaders to follow the line of extremism? Mankind, the peoples of all the nations, are fearful and anxious, and these fears and anxieties aggravate the tensions. Mr. President, I ask for a return immediately to the path of negotiation. It is the only course that the great powers should follow. It is incumbent on this Assembly to press for the resumption of negotiations, particularly regarding those main issues which divide the USSR and those associated with it from the western powers. That is the paramount issue of this Assembly meeting, disarmament. The Canadian government takes its stand on behalf of full disarmament, to be assured by effective control and inspection. The major powers today possess the nuclear capacity for mutual destruction and to annihilate all. We, the middle powers and the smaller powers, cannot remain silent. We would be the hopeless victims of any nuclear catastrophe that takes place. Quite apart from our instinct for self preservation, mankind knows of the futility and the wanton waste. Without a return to negotiations, we cannot hope to arrest the arms race, we cannot hope to still the processes of armaments and continuing armaments. The tragedy of the 10-Power negotiations was that the breakdown occurred at a time when there was an appreciable narrowing of the gap between the Soviet and Western positions. I wrote to Mr. Krushchev on the 30th of June. I suggested then a return to the negotiating table. The unanimous voice of the disarmament commission in that regard has been disregarded, for in August it called for the earliest possible continuance of disarmament negotiations. I believe that it is imperative that this Assembly reaffirm the appeal of the disarmament commission.It is not plans and principles which we need, we have four different disarmament plans and two sets of principles, there may be working methods that should be brought about, to be adjusted by agreement. Canada suggested the appointment of a neutral chairman, and is prepared to examine every constructive suggestion. We do not lack appropriate machinery but we do lack mutual confidence and a general..."Continued in Shot No. 8432.

TAPE_NUMBER: EF99/0974 IN_TIME: 17:05:49 // 20:25:59 LENGTH: 01:45 SOURCES: BBC RESTRICTIONS: No Access UK/CNN/CNBC/Fox/Euronews/Internet FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat Britain's Northern Ireland Secretary has appealed to the province's politicians to save the peace process - despite the recent terrorist violence. During a speech in the town of Carrickfergus, Mo Mowlam said she believed that the desire for peace continued to exist "despite recent problems". In a clear political message, the Northern Ireland Secretary chose to make her remarks at the Ulidias School in Carrickfergus - an integrated school where Protestants and Catholics learn together. Her speech attacked her critics - including Conservative leader William Hague, whom she accused of sniping. SOUNDBITE: (English) "What we are doing is not about appeasement, not about turning a blind eye but trying to help this society end its historic conflict and I believe that the basic desire is still there despite all the recent problems and that is why the parties should be in there talking to each other in the Mitchell review next week and not walking away." SUPER CAPTION: Dr Mo Mowlam, Britain's Northern Ireland Secretary SOUNDBITE: (English) "Well it was actually interesting. She thought that the children would have found it boring but it was actually interesting." SUPER CAPTION: Darren Colgan, Pupil SOUNDBITE: (English) "I would hope for the future that Northern Ireland would be a safer place and that Catholics and Protestants would be friends like I hope that they will be friends because in this school we are all friends." SUPER CAPTION: Rosemary Hassin, Pupil SOUNDBITE: (English) "She has to see it through. The hopes of the silent majority rest with her and the politicians, we have had thirty years of bigotry and sectarianism and I don't want for my children another thirty years and I would be a terrible defeatist if I thought there was not hope." SUPER CAPTION: Eugene Martin Headmaster, Ulidia School Mowlams' speech was effectively a plea to the parties and the communities to give the review of the political process a chance. But it also mirrored the bleak reality that there are no easy solutions. SHOTLIST: xfa Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland - September 1, 1999 1. Various shots of school children 2.

INTERVIEW: Edelson, Lock, Patient Robert Lipsyte: watched the speech together earlier today. And now that you've seen it and had time to reflect, do you have more or less hope about the coming age of the offered and the next four years? Ray? Ray Patient 5:36 Well, I'm glad and hand is being offered. Because I think in terms of the federal administration, the White House, we haven't had a hand offered to us, at least people with AIDS. Very bad the last few years, Reagan didn't mention aids until 20,000 people were dead. And sick. The disease has been known for six years, you know, he was very good at kissing the widows of our fallen boys from Lebanon. And, you know, wonderful, compassionate gestures like that. But he really did very did nothing for people with AIDS. In this regard Robert Lipsyte 6:10 Edith? Edith Edelson 6:12 It's very hard to come to a conclusion whether we can hope or not hope, based on his until on his talk, especially after eight years of talk that had a life of its own. I do think there's a basis there, it may be a basis for hope, but I base it on other factors than what he said. Robert Lipsyte 6:30 Other factors, Larry. Larry Locke 6:33 Oh, he said some good things throughout the campaign. And now, in just the speech of inauguration, he said something to them. That if if he implemented, I think will help country, and that's really needed. But but I'm still, I'm still hopeful. Robert Lipsyte 6:49 you're still hopeful, hopeful that new breeze that's coming in? Well, we thought that we would, we would look at the speech a little more closely. And the first piece that we'd like to look at kind of gave the sense that maybe he was declaring over what some people call the the greed of the 80s. At the age of materialism.

Titles read: "THE NATIONAL THEATRE AT SOUTH KENSINGTON". <br/> <br/>Kensington, London. <br/> <br/>At an empty plot of land that is the site of the building of a National Theatre for Shakespeare and British drama, we see Sir Robert Vansittart on a platform before a crowd of people. He hands the title deeds of the site to playwright George Bernard Shaw as representative of the theatre, along with a sod of earth and a twig. <br/> <br/>Bernard Shaw makes a speech saying that he feels he is there as the next best thing to Shakespeare. He goes on to say if America is listening he hopes they will understand that any help they give to the project will be extremely welcome. The crowd laughs and applauds.

Continued from Shot No. 55386 (Part 8/15 of speech): MWS of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker continuing his speech to the United Nations Assembly on September 26, 1960. Transcript is as follows:"We are united not by the sword or the seal but by the spirit of cooperation and by common aspirations; and the process is a continuing one. Within the next week another country, Nigeria, the most populous in Africa, will attain its independence and remain in the Commonwealth family. Indeed in this Assembly the membership is composed in a very considerable measure of the graduates of empires, mandates and trusteeships of Britain, the Commonwealth and other nations. I pause to ask this question: How many human beings have been liberated by the USSR? Do we forget how one of the postwar colonies of the Soviet Union sought to liberate itself four years ago, and with what results? I say that because these facts of history in the Commonwealth and other countries invite comparison with the domination over peoples and territories, sometimes gained under the guise of liberation, but always accompanied by the loss of political freedom. How are we to reconcile the tragedy of the Hungarian uprising in 1956 with Chairman Krushchev's confident assertion of a few days ago in this assembly? These are his words: "It will always be the Soviet stand that countries should establish systems of their own free will and choosing." That I accept-and hope that those words mean a change of attitude for the future on the part of those he represents. What of Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia? What of the freedom-loving Ukrainians and other Eastern European peoples which I shall not name for fear of omitting some of them? Mr. Krushchev went further and said: "The very course of historic development at present poses the question of complete and final elimination of the colonial regime immediately and unconditionally."Sir, there can be no double standard in international affairs. I ask the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers of the USSR to give to those nations under his domination of the right of free elections-to give them the opportunity to determine the kind of government they want under genuinely free conditions. If those conclusions were what his words meant, for they must apply universally, then indeed will there be new action to carry out the obligations of the United Nations Charter; then indeed will there be new hope for all mankind."

Part 2 of the 1962 documentary “The Truth About Communism” continues its explanation of the terror presented by the Soviet Union and its ideology. Narrated by Ronald Reagan (who as United States President nearly 30 years after this film would influence the fall of Communism), the picture opens in Czechoslovakia where democratic elements, led by President Edvard Benes, hoped the Soviet Union would allow Czechoslovakia the freedom to choose its own form of government and aspired to a Czechoslovakia that would act as a bridge between East and West. Communist leaders pushed for a coalition government instead, with Klement Gottwald as prime minister, and in 1948 took power. To divert attention, Reagan explains Stalin ordered violent protests in Colombia (mark 02:25) with riots killing 1,000 people and destroying more than 100 buildings. Stalin then blocks access routes into Berlin, Germany (mark 02:55) leading to the Berlin airlift (mark 03:15). In June 1950, with Stalin’s prompting, North Korea and South Korea go to war (mark 07:50) as battle scenes flood the screen before a truce is declared in 1953. The film returns to the Kremlin at mark 09:20 and an explanation of how Stalin executed hundreds of Jewish doctors and leaders after accusing them of conspiracy and espionage. His purge continues until news of the Soviet leader’s March 1953 death as the headline “Stroke Fells Stalin” flashes onto the screen at mark 10:08. “The end of a tyrant,” Reagan says. <p><p>We then follow Khrushchev’s sudden rise to power as secretary-general of the Soviet Union (mark 12:35) as he staffs key positions with his own followers and at mark 13:10 is shown delievering his de-Stalinization speech (a process of political reform in the Soviet Union consisting of changing or removing key institutions that helped Stalin hold power). There are scenes from the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 starting at mark 15:27 and the subsequent Soviet response (mark 20:20). Reagan discusses the role of propaganda in the spread of Communism and reminds the viewer of Chairman Mao’s prediction that war with the West is inevitable (mark 26:35). As it winds down, we see scenes of President Dwight D. Eisenhower being protested during a visit in Uruguay (mark 30:32) and Vice President Richard Nixon being protested by Communists in Venezuela (mark 30:42). As more scenes of violence fill the screen, it nears its end with the construction of Berlin Wall (mark 31:35) — as people desperately flee through the barbed wire. <p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

We spent our meeting talking about the very strong state of Polish US relations. 12:06:50 I thanked him for the strong support he has given for the coalition. 12:07:17 Poland has been an inspiration to the world and it's neighbhors. And so it's a great pleasure to welcome you back to the US. Polish FM Cimoszewicz 12:07:41 It's always a pleasure to be here. I believe times of trial are the best to test relationships. 12:08:04 Poland is acting .to join the anti terrorist coalition and we did our best by organizing a conference. And sending our advice and soldiers to Afghanistan. 12:08:42 Our bilateral relations are the best. No problems. It makes it easier to discuss various international issues. 12:08:59 Thank you. Q&A 12:09:20 I think the speech I gave in Louisville a month ago preceded by the Bush speech outlining our vision for Israel. That vision still stands. 12:09:47 Recognition we have to have land for peace. And that settlement activity must stop. All of that remains vital. The speech had issues that still hold. 12:10:18 Chmn Arafat gave a speech yesterday that there can only be one leader at a time and he is that leader. I hope they respond to that call to end violence. Hope to institute a cease fire and get into the Mitchell process. 12:11:18 We also welcomed Chmn Arafat's speech but we also made the point that action is now to be taken. We must see action. We have had many words passed back and forth and now we must see action. 12:12:02 While welcoming Chmn Arafat's speech we must also see action. 12:12:18 We have I believe spoken on both sides of this issue. I think we have indicated the violence has to end. We have also indicated there is a day after tomorrow. I hope that reality is reflected and factored into. 12:12:56 two men shake hands 12:12:59 shake hands again and Polish FM goes to his car 12:13:17 Colin Powell and Richard Boucher walking in State Department

Continued from Shot No. 8432 (Part 11/15 of speech): MWS of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker continuing his speech to the United Nations Assembly on September 26, 1960. Transcript is as follows:"...an end to the production of fissionable materials for weapons and the conversion of existing stocks for peaceful purposes. Canada over and over again has advocated an end to nuclear testing.I need hardly stress the significance of early agreement on measures like these carried out under appropriate verifications and inspection, for there can be no dissipation of fear unless there is control and inspection. Tremendous advances have been made in outer space. It will be too late a year from now. I hope that at this time consideration will be given to jurisdiction in outer space being assured for scientific and peaceful purposes only, so that all nations, great and small, will have equal rights. I believe, and Canada takes the stand, that no celestial body shall be considered as capable of appropriation by any state; that space vehicles shall be identified by a system of registration of launchings, call signs and other characteristics; that frequencies for communications with and among space vehicles shall be allocated on a rational and agreed basis.These tremendous problems require the consideration of the United Nations Committee on the peaceful uses of outer space-and that body to commence its work at once.I should like to say a word on the subject of aid and assistance. While the Chairman of the Council of Ministers dwelt at length on the evils of colonialism, he had very little to say about economic assistance to the less-developed countries of the world. I read no pledge to make increased contributions to the United Nations Programmes of economic and technical assistance. That was one view expressed by President Eisenhower. Mr. Krushchev asked simply for a declaration.There is an urgent need to increase the flow of international economic aid to the less-developed countries, and I think particularly of these newly independent states of Africa. I believe this. Through the United Nations the material resources for economic assistance must be greatly increased if the needs of Africa are to be met without impairing at the same time plans for assistance in other areas. We in Canada have taken one stand in this regard..."Continued in Shot No. 55381.
