Dodge asserted that our resistance to Communist aggression in Korea, with material, moral, and manpower support from the UN, was successful. "If we and other UN members and the Republic of Korea had not fought in Korea, he said, "we might have had a third world war or uncontrollable spread of communism on a world scale. He continued saying, The UN participation in the Korean action was far from perfect, but it was the first collective defense of its kind in history. The Soviets can no longer paralyze the United Nations in case of a future aggression because we have a resolution called Uniting for Peace,, by which the General Assembly can deal with maaggression by a jority vote, Lodge stated.
