 and other means of protect
 against violations and evasionS"
 Of any disarmament pact.
 s. Without an effective system
 of collective security under the LIN. charter, extensive disarTn-
 annent would be impractical and
 unsafe" N. J. O. Maxim of Aus
 tralia told the Committee that
 many nations regarded Molotov's
 suggested approach to the con.
 trol problem as "too narrow, too
 restricted"
 Urges Naolotov Co Explain
 He asked Molotov to explain the Soviet conception of international controls." and asked if the Soviet is ready for international inspection to safeguard against violations of con- trol agreements.
 Maxim declared that even inter- national inspection may not be enough to ban the atomic bomb. 1t may be essential, he said, for an in- ternational agency to play an active role tn functions of management" in atomic enterprises.
 Molotov, in e surprise move yes- teriay. proposed special organs os inspection" and urged establishment of control commissions to assure ex. ecution of atomic and disarmament agreements. The commissions would operate under the LIN. Security Council where each member of the Big Nine could exercise its veto.
 The whole system of control could be made subject to the win os any permanent member of the Security Council choosing to disregard the will oe the majority" Maxim pro- tested.
 Soviet Foreign Minister v. M. Molotov. in outlining the Russian plan. dramatically and unexpectedly accepted the principle of inserna- tional inspection to make sure dis armament agreements are being ob- served and atomic weapons are not being made.
 Just what type of inspection the Soviet might agree to remained to be seen. But his acceptance of the inspection principle buoyed western power delegates who have insisted that LIN arms detectives must be allowed to roam the world.
 Molot0v Outlines Plan
 Molotov-in a surprise appearance when delegates thought he was locked in conference with other Big Four foreign ministers-kicked of disarmament debate in the LIN Po- litical and Security Committee yes- terday when he presented a resolu- ton for establishment of special organs of inspection" within the framework of the LIN Security Council. This would allow any member of the Big Five to exercise its Security Council veto power.
 Molotov proposed one commission to control execution of disarmament agreements. and another commis- sion to control execution of a ban on atomic weapons.
 This question must be elaborated in detail" Molotov told the commit tee. we can not exclude the pos- sibility that discussions will arise on separate aspects of this problem.
 Nevertheless. we should all agree with the correctness of a recent statement of the head of the Soviet government, J. V. Staiin, that in this case strict international control Is necessary"

 "If we agree in principle with the necessity for strict international control, we should also be able to reach an agreement on the concrete matters"
 Sir Hartley Shawcross of Great Britain promptly replied that the United Kingdom warmly welcomes the Soviet statement.
 We must have inspection and control of troops. of weapons. or general war potential, and for our part, in our country. We are pre- pared to lift all curtains and to open all doors to such an international system not only of limitation but Of control and of collective security" Shawcross said.
 T was very glad to gather that the great USSR. no longer raises any objection to the establishment of some such system as that"
 Action Stressed as Urgent
 Ghawcross cautioned. however, that words are not enough-action Is urgent"
 eve have an opportunity of tak- ing concrete steps forward and of making sure that these proposals viii have some real effect and not De a mere sham, a fraud to be used. for political prOpaganda." Shawcross said.
 Molotov proposed that the UN General Assembly ask the Security Council ito work out appropriate concrete instructions" on disarma- ment problems.
 'It would be well if powers pos- sessing the largest naval and air forces were to take the same steps as the Soviet Union and develop a corresponding activity in the reduc- ton of armaments." Molot0v said.
