Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts
A. P. News Analyst
The United Nations subcom
mittee on disarmament has be
gun its seSsaoais under consider
able political pressure of a type
which carries potential danger.
The pressure, inherent in the
world situation and expressed
in such. statements as President
Eisenhower’s that the ‘meeting
can contribute to relaxed in
ternational tensions 'is for some
show of progress.
The danger iis that such a
show of progress will play in
to the hands of Soviet Russia.
The subcommittee is meet
inlgt feefire the big riddle of the
day has been solved, 'and' that
is whether Russia is putting up
a (front for her own purposes,'
or is really wording toward
permanent coexistence.
Russia has Ibeen trying for
years, ever since the organiza
tion of the United 0NSationsT to
get the west to give up the nu
clear weapons which give it
military equality with the vast
manpower available to the com
miunists. That still seems to be
the key 'point of her proposals.
.Strangely enough then, there
is a situation in which the
world, devoutly wishing for dis
armament, could be badly dam
aged by its achievement.
Certainly any agreements or
seeming agreements readied in
a hurry, under pressure to keep
tfiie picture on the conciliatory
side until the foreign ministers
meet in October, 'Would take on
the aspects of dangerous sopor
ifics.
As the meeting opened there
appeared to lb© little chance
anything would 'be done. Hie
Allies are demanding such de
tailed safeguard’s that accept
ance by Russia would require:
a dhiarnge in her /whole ch&rae-,
ter and whole policy. The west
has not given ujp hope this
change will eventually take
place, but has no evidence that
it is imminent. s
As one step leads t© another
in negotiations, tihe nations
seem to be falling into one en
couraging attitude, and that is
to fgifat out the east-west con
flict on political and economic
rather than military lines. But
the world! has not yet progres
sed to the point where military,
power will not be needed to
give tone to the voice of diplo
macy.
As the plans of the western
powers began to take form,
with details from the United
States still to come, one thing!
threatened the whole post-Gen
eva atmosphere . The west
seemed to he devising propos
als i which would eventually
force Russia into outright re
jection. There was a good
chance, 'however, the subcom
mittee would get around them
in such fashion as to leave all
questions open until after the
Geneva meeting.
