duced in future, 1t Is proposed

Hence it follows that the main
part of the atomic materials
will, as before, be directed to
the production Of new atomic
and hydrogen bombs. and that
there remains the full possi-
bility of a further accumula-
ton Of the atomic weapon and
the creation of new types of
this weapon of even great de-
structive power. Consequently
this proposal. in its present
form, in no way ties the hands
of the governments which have
the opportunity to produce
atomic and hydrogen weapons.
Secondly. the proposal OF
President Eisenhower in no way
limits the possibility Of the use
Of the atomic weapon itself.
The acceptance of this pro-
posal in no way limits an ag-
gressor as regards the use Of
the atomic weapon for any
purpose or at any time. Con-
sequently. this proposal in no
way reduces the danger Of
atomic attack.

In its response the Soviet
Union expresses its readiness
to take part in confidential or
diplomatic talks concerning
the Presidents proposal. This
is hopeful.
At the same time the Soviet
response criticizeS the PreSi-
dents proposal on the ground
that it will not remove the
threat Of atomic weapons. It
also restates former positions
taken by the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union seems not
to have caught the spirit of
the Presidents proposal. It's
very purpose was to find q new
and clearly feasible basis
which viii permit Of actually
getting started.
It has long been evident,
and the tone Of the Soviet
response makes it even clearer,
that little can be achieved by
the continuance Of public
debate.
The United States will,
through the new channels
which the Soviet Union now
accepts. explore every possi-
bility Of security agreement
and bringing President Eisen-
hower's historic proposal into

Plan Doesn't Stop
Atomic Weapon Output

In these conditions. one must
conclude that. in its present
form, the proposal tabled
by the U. S. A. does not stop
the growing production of
atomic weapons, neither does it
limit the possibility of the use
of these weapons.
In order to appreciate the
true significance of the men
toned proposal one cannot
fail to take that into account.
This proposal would have
added Importance If it arose
from the recognition Of the
necessity to prohibit the
atomic weapon, which is a
weapon of aggression. But
the necessity of prohibiting
the atomic weapon is not men,
toned in the Presidents
speech. The question of the
prohibition of the atomic
weapon is passed by in his
speech. despite the fact that
President Eisenhower stresses
the particular danger Of the
atomic weapon which exists
today for the peoples Of the
whole world in the present

49 Countries Signed
1925 Geneva Protocol

Thirty years ago the govern
ments of 49 countries arrived
at an agreement and signed the
Geneva Protocol of 1925 on the
banning of the use of chemical
and meteorological weapons,
recognizing the criminality of
the use of such weapons of
mass destruction of human
beings. This agreement among
the governments was in it's
time signed by the Soviet
Union. and yielded positive
results.
Everybody knows that dur
Ing the First World War such
weapons of mass homicide, as
asphyxiating and poisonous
gases as well as other types of
chemical weapons we're being
used on a large scale-weap-
ons. the use of which, met with
a determined condemnation on
the part of the nations.
If even at that time the
threat emerged of the use of
the harmful psychological
weapon, aimed at contaminat-
ing the peaceful population Of
towns by most dangerous dis
eases. the conscience of the
overwhelming majority of
people could not tolerate it.
This created the necessity to
reach an international agree
ment in the form of the above
mentioned Geneva Protocol
which condemned and banned
the use of chemical and bac-
THEOLOGICAL weapons for war
purposes.
If there had been no Geneva
Protocol, signed by 49 states
although not ratified by all
states, there would have been
no restraining factor against
the use of chemical and bac-
THEOLOGICAL weapons in the
Second World War. The fact
that in the Second World
War not a single government
decided to use chemical and
meteorological weapons, shows
that the aforementioned agree
ment of the governments
aimed against chemical and
archaeological weapons was of
positive Importance.
At the same time, one must
not fail also to mention the
effect that it was on the basis
of this agreement that the
countries belonging to the
anti-Hitler coalition stated
firmly that the attempts of
the enemy to use chemical
warfare would meet a devas-
tating rebuff.
Evening star., 1953-12-22

international sanction OF the
production Of atomic weapons.
Precisely because of this, it
is necessary to acknowledge
that the task of all peace
loving states is not restricted
to the ALLEGATION for peaceful
aims of a small part of atomic
material: 1t Is necessary that
not some part but the whole
mass of atomic material be
directed completely to peace
full aims, which would open UP
unheard of possibilities for the
progress of industry, agricul-
ture and transport; for the
employment of the most valu-
able atomic discoveries; for
the improvement of machines
in many fields of their en-
ployment;; and for further and
higher progress in science.
The fact must also be taken
into consideration that the
banning Of atomic and hydro
gen weapons and the employ
ment Of atomic materials ex-
cluSively for the peaceful
needs Of the peoples, with due
care for the needs of the eco
nomically weaker areas. would
also facilitate the possibility Of
achieving an agreement on
the question of a firm reduce
ton of the conventional wea-
ponS as well.
This, in turn, would lead to
an enormous relief of the bur-
den of taxes borne by peoples
because of the existence in
many states of excessively
large armies, military aviation,
and navieS-that is, the con-
tinuing ornaments race.
All this demands recogni-
ton of the necessity to ban
atomic weapons, together with
the establishment Of interna-
tional control over this ban,
and an unconditional pledge
not to use these weapons.
Therefore. the Soviet govern
ment will continue to insist
upon the urgency of achieving
an appropriate international
Evening star., 1953-12-22

policy Of the Soviet Union.
which aims at averting new
war and at consolidating peace
and CO operation among
peoples.
In his speech Of 9th Deem
ber. on the atomic weapon,
the U. S. President pointed out
the great Importance of the
problem Of easing interna-
tional tension and creating an
atmosphere of mutual, peace
full trust. This corresponds
also to the views of the Soviet
government, which invariably
strives toward cooperation in
the relaxation of tension in in
ternational relations and to-
ward securing peace the world
over.

sy the A.soeio,ed Pres,

!. LONDON, Dec. 22.-The teIt
OF a Soviet government state
ment on President Etsentower's
atomic energy pool proposals
as distributed yesterday By
TGSS. the official Soviet netDs
agency:
In his speech in the United
Nations General Assembly on
9th of.December President Els
enhower dwelt on the problem
of the race in atomic arma-
mentS.
Quite justifiably, the United
States President emphasized
the danger for the peoples of
the world of the situation
which is being created unless
governments adopt measures
against the race in atomic
armaments. This is even more
so now, when. together with
the atomic weapons, the hydro
gen weapon has already BEEN
invented-a weapon which
greatly surpasses in power the
atomic weapon.
It must be remembered also
that there exist such modern
types of ornaments as the
rocket weapons which modern
technique enables to be used
over distances of thousands of
kilometers without aircraft,
as well as torpedoes with
atomic warheadS and others.
The discovery of the practical
possibilities of the use Of
atomic power is an immense
achievement of modern science
and technique.
The possible use of atomic
energy for war purposes has
been discovered as well as the
responsibility of its use for
peaceful purposes.
Until quite recently efforts
were made to use atomic power
chiefly for the production Of
ornaments. At the same time
mankind is interested in the
use of atomic power only for
peaceful purposes and that the
use of the atomic power for
such purposes - contrary to
the honor and conscience Of
the peoples-as mass destruc-
ton of people and barbarous
annihilation of towns, should
not be permitted.

The Soviet Union, filled with
deep concern for safeguarding

weapons, will devote all its ef-
forts so that these weapons
could never be turned against
people.

FOLLOWING is the tert OF Sec

President Eise1lIloUer's "tDorld

The Soviet Minister for For

to Ambassador Bohlen. and
has broadcast, the response Of
the Soviet Union to President
Eisenhower's address of De-
cember 8 before the United
Nations. President EiSenhow
er's address carried to every
corner Of the globe hope for
the recession of the horror Of
atomic warfare.
The United States was
ready. the President said, to
meet privately with such other
countries as may be principally
involved. including the Soviet
Union, to seek an acceptable
solution to the atomic armA-
mentS race.
Into those talks the United
States would carry a new con-
ception for a."world bank" un-
der the auspices of the United
Nations, into which nations
possessing normal uranium
and fashionable materials would
make contributions for peace
full purposes. The President

Great Opportunities
For BoIsterinq Peace

First Of all. on this path,
there are great opportunities
for reducing tension in the in
ternational situation and for
strengthening peace.
Having expounded his views
on the Importance of atomic
weapons, President Eisenhower
spoke in support of the desir-
ability of holding correspond
ing confidential or diplomatic
negotiations between the in
terested states.
At the same time President
Eisenhower put forward pro-
poSal to the effect that the
governments principally in
volved should now begin, and
continue in future, ito make
joint contributions from their
stock piles Of normal uranium
and fashionable materials to an
international atomic energy
agency" which would be under
the aegis Of U. N. This pro-
posal points out in addition
that the international agency
on atomic powers could be
made responsible for the inn
pounding, storage and protec-
ton Of the contributed fission-
able and other materials"
Evening star., 1953-12-22
Conference in Berlin
Regarded as Important

1t is precisely for this rea-
son that the Soviet Union
considers of such Importance
not only the forthcoming con-
ference In Berlin, but also
the conference of the five
powers with the participation
OF the Chinese Peoples Re-
public. since. in the present
conditions. only the concerted
efforts of all the great powers,
together with the efforts of
other countries, can secure a
reduction in tension in the
whole international situation
and a corresponding settle
ment of the urgent interna-
tional problems.
This is also consistent with
the U. N. Charter, according
to which special responsibility
for the preservation of peace
and international security
rests with the five powers: the
United States of America,
Britain, France, the U. s. S. r.
and China. At the same time,
it is perfectly obvious that the
great Chinese people should
now be represented in u. N. by
the Chinese Peoples Republic.
In the desire to cooperate
in raising the status and
authority of U. N. in the cause
of strengthening universal
peace, special insistence must
be made on the rapproche-
ment Of the attitudes of the
five great powers on the ques-
ton of ending the atomic
ornaments race as we'll as the
race in all other armaments.
Every step aimed at reach
Ing an agreement between
these powers, both as regards
the eliminating of the threat
OF the use of atomic and
hydrogen weapons and the
cessation of the armaments
race in general. would GER
tainly be unanimously sup
ported by all the United
Nations.
Evening star., 1953-12-22
Same Considerations
Apply to New Weapons

The above quoted considera-
tions also apply fully to the
atomic and hydrogen weapons.
It is we'll known that the
United Nations do not list
these weapons among the
usual types of weapons. but
regard them as a special type
of weapon-a weapon of mass
destruction. Thus. the fact
that President Eisenhower,
known as an outstanding mill
tary leader in the last world
war, emphasized the destruc-
tive power of the atomic
weapon, can be understood.
It must be also borne in view
that at the present time the
Importance Of these weapons
Is increasing.
It would be completely in
comprehensive if the states
possessing atomic or hydrogen
weapons failed to attach due
Importance to the question Of
a ban on atomic and hydrogen
weapons. as well as on other
types >of weapons Of mass de-
struction. or if they began to
postpone until some indefinite
future the reaching of an in
ternational agreement on this
subject. Such an attitude to
this important and urgent
problem would find no justifi-
cation. The Soviet Union con-
sistently struggles for the ban
of the atomic weapon and at
the same time for a consid-
erable reduction in all other
types Of armaments.
This Is consistent with the
