27. Needless to say, specific questions relating to the scope and character of the measures for controlling disarmament at the various stages of its implementation, as well as specific questions connected with other aspects of the programme proposed, will be the subject of discussion and agreement during appropriate negotiations. 28. By now it should be clear to any unprejudiced person that one important merit of the basically new approach to the disarmament problem proposed by the Soviet Union is this: it eliminates all the obstacles hitherto inherent in the control problem or artificially introduced into it. 29. Surely no one would deny that acceptance, in itself, of the solution of general and complete disarmament would be convincing confirmation of a sincere desire to establish relations on a basis of friendship, co-operation and repudiation of the; use of force in the settlement of disputes, and would lead to a significant strengthening of confidence in relations between States. In such an atmosphere of growing confidence, the solution of the problem of control would unquestionably be easier.
