135. As far as my Government is concerned, we stand for a disarmament programme which will be comprehensive and realistic. By "programme" we mean that disarmament must be implemented through various pre-determined phases. By "comprehensive" we mean that the programme should contain provisions regarding all types of weapons and personnel. And by "realistic" we mean that all the phases of such a programme should be devised in a manner which will reassure the signatories that the implementation of the programme will not confer any advantage on one party to the detriment of another. The only hope of rendering such a programme acceptable to all concerned lies in prescribing effective international control for the implementation of every phase. 136. Progress in the field of disarmament is of such vital importance for the destiny of mankind that all Members of the United Nations bear a heavy responsibility to do their utmost to achieve at least the first encouraging results.
