United Nations ca 1947, Belgian Diplomat Paul-Henri Charles Spaak Stands Up To USSR Bald headed Spaak at podium from left, speaks in French SOF (general translation): What is certain is the USSR doesn’t care about the West; and what Vishinsky has just said is once agian the proof. We accept for many countries Communism is necessary; but we think it is an experience that the Western world can do w/o. (applause). 12:18:15 It may be immodest coming from a small country like Belgium to respond to a big country like the USSR, but maybe it is better because no one could think that I am trying to be provocative; that would be ridiculous. We don’t want to argue w/ the Communists, but we want to affirm after we all fought against Fascism in the last war, we don’t want to resubmit ourselves to any authoritarian or totalitarian regime.
