 Mir. Vishinsky opened the meet ing with a demand for a reduc- ion of all armaments by one third. There is nowhere on earth an objection to this or more radi- cal reductions. But his accompany ing speech was an harangue against the United States as scheming aggressor, and an attack on the American viewpoint (alSo held by Roosevelt that diSarma- ment without effective controls re- Teatedly has been tried and failed.

We cannot see why an international Socialist should oppose it except that it is incon- siStent with the veto, the iron cur tain and the plan of any state for world domination.
