down, therefore nothing hinders
new session of the disarmament
commission. The Soviet delegation
thinks that the prospects for the
commissions work are unfavorable,
but. nevertheless insists that the
commission meet and analyZe the
reasons for failure and seek new
ways to solve the problem.
Demands Meeting.
Negotiations between individual
powers broke down not only because
the negotiations were secret but be-
cause the whole principle treating
disarmament as an individual ques-
ton for each country is false. The
Soviet delegation always stressed
the necessity for a general criterion
for all nations and the Soviet pro-
posals are based upon this general
principle.
"Unless the disarmament COM
mission wants to continue marking
time and confess to its inability it
must deal seriously with the Soviet
proposals"
Litvinov concludes his letter with
q formal request fer the speedy con-
vening of the disarmament commits
sion to discuss the Soviet proposals.
