 Believes Rlsln Necessary
 Admitting that sweeping disarm- ament holds certain risks for the United States. Patterson neverthe- less believed these riSEs must be taken. Complete trust must be put fn the United Nations organization to maintain peace, he said. And he thinks the world can readily reduce its afmaments and armies so the ceilings sci to maintain the United Nations security forces.
 There are two theories as to how this United Nations force shall be organized: 1. that every nations entire armed force shall be com matte6 to the United Nations: g that onls specified forces shah be assigned to UN. the unassigned forces being retained by each coun- txy as Q defensive reserve.
 However they are made up. Co preserve the peace and security of the world Patterson advocates as- signing to the LIN forces the right 10 maintain heavy weapons of of- sens,ve warfare. This may at first seem inconsistent with his broader disarmament proposal Butstlle Sec retayy explains that when this United Nations task force goes into action. it must have a superior strength and be prepared to defeat any aeEreSsoc-a reSurgent Ger many or Japan. or c smaller nation This means the United Nations force must have the right to use capital ships. bognhers and the atomic bomb.
 How this LIN force is to be or ganized is now under consideration The Military Stan Committee of the United Nations Security Coun- cil has been meeting since last Apr1l without accompl pliShment. The stalemate has been due to the fail- nre of the Russians to present oE discuzs any concrete plan of opera tkon. Their excuse has been thal they have DO instructions iron
 Thrae Prinuiplss
 untal the United Nations can perfect it's plans for . world police force. no proposal for disarmament can be considered, Patterson stated Hbcexinks. sStaoN hingt.da
 When that first step is taken. he said, then real disarmament can be achieved on the basis of three prin- ciples:
 l There must be universal and nea unilaaeral disnrmamenL, as Senator Austin specified. The UmfEed states tried Co lead the way by unilaseral disarmament after the last var and suffered for iI

 2. Disarmament must apply ta al eategeries of armed force army, navy and air-abOve the hm- ifs 0f the United katiems esntin- gents.
 This involves working eat many details, Patterson frankly admitted. He believed that limitation eann0i be made en a budget basis. owing ts the different standards ef living in different parts ef the world Pay of ali other armies is far bei0W u. S. levels.
 Research Limitations Considered
 Limitation Of military research must also be considered. Most civilian. scientific research has mili- tagy applications, but 1t would be impossible to ban ai research. fl might, however, be possible to limit research Of military application to a percentage of the budget allowed each nation for its internal defense forces.
 The question of military bases their number, location and matn- tenance-must also be worked oul by the United Nations. In the last var the United States took re- sponsibility for the Indian Ocean Similar divisions of responsibility for maintaining peace would there fore seem feasible.
 Patterson was frank to say thai complete disarmament such aS ht envisaged may be a long time ofi In he present state of the world Allied occupation forces must re- main in Japan and Germany t0l some years. Until United Nationl forces can be created to take Oyel the zones of occupation, 0r unn all Allied armies Of occupation car be withdrawn and the ex-Axti countries admitted to fuil member. ship in the United Nations. thers can be no sweeping disarmament he said.
