59. Believing that inspection is of the essence, I issued at the time of submission of the Western proposals a statement including the following: "... The Canadian Government has agreed, if the Soviet Union will reciprocate, to the inclusion of either the whole or a part of Canada in an equitable system of aerial inspection, and will do its utmost to ensure that the system works effectively. We consider that a useful start in providing safeguards against surprise attack could be made in the Arctic areas." 60. On the other hand, the Soviet Union has produced a multitude of propaganda plans for disarmament, but always on its terms and always on the basis that effective inspection is out of the question. It generates hopes in mankind; it refuses on its part, though, to co-operate in any way except on its terms.
