OOuUlnueu from tlrSG rage

IShepilov declared:
1.-THE Soviet government pro-
poses the full prohibition of
atomic and hydrogen weapon
tests and the production of nu-
clear weapons as we'll as the de-
lstruction Of nuclear weapons and
their removal from arms piles.
1t is now exclusively up to the
governments of the Western
powers. Prohibition of atomic
and hydrogen tests could be the
first step in this direction.
mo complete system of con-
troll would be needed as techni-
cal levels at the present time
are high enough to disclose any
nuclear explosion; there would
be no need for long and many
sided negotiations because agree
ments would be required only
among the three countries which
are capable of exploding nuclear
arms-the United States, Great
Britain and the Soviet Union.
THE Soviet. Union, the United
States and Great Britain must
reach agreements on an immedi-
ate end of tests aI4c experimental

active in Atomic Pleas
Soviet diplomacy has been
highly active on the atom front
lately. Last week the Soviet
Union called for creation of an
all : European organization, in
which both the United States
and the Soviet Union would take
part, to control the peacetime
use of atomic energy in Eu ope
with good will from the
United States and Great Britain
it would not be difficult to find
q formula for agreement" Mr.
lShepilov declared. Agreement
could be reached either through
the framework of the United Ma
lions, or through the framework
of a tripartite agreement with
the adherence to it of other states
later on, or through the frame
work of a formal declaration on
the parts of each of the three
governments. each taking on it.
self the responsibility to refrain
from atomic and hydrogen tests
The Soviet Union is agreeable to
any II these proposals. The So.
Wet Union is ready to start
negotiation with the governments
of the United States and Great
Britain on these questions.
The Soviet Union, as a part
lof is propaganda campaign
long has advocated an end to
atomic bomb tests. but has con-
tinued to test its own devices
nevertheless.
Last November the Soviet del
egate. Vastly v. Kuznetsov, told
the United Nations Assembly,
Political Committee that the
Assembly should come out for
an international agreement to
end tests of all types of nuclear
weapons as a first step to a ban
on such weapons.
Subsequently. Soviet leaders
iannounced they had exploded
their biggest thermometer
bomb. Defense Minister Georgi
K. zhukov told tn goth Com
munist Party Congress in Mos
COW last February the Soviet
Union had mighty guided mis-
siles" which could carry atomic
bombs to American cities.
Secretary of State Dulles, ex-
pressing the stand taken by
American leaders, said last jan
uary II that it was imperative"
that the United States continue
to carry on its bomb tests in
order to maintain its lead in
the nuclear field.
The United States view is that
the tests cannot be stopped I'M
til there is a broader agreement
to control atomic energy and
prevent its military use. Soviet

THAT IS NOT THE WAY, SENATOR

tina IS NOT THE WAY, SENATOR
RECENTLY concern deep concern was expressed
over the seemingly callous altitude Of Senator Merwin towards
the welfare Of the people Of this island. That concern was
about his motion to exclude St. Croix from the airport bill
BUT THE GOOD Senator, not content with one such
act, promptly embarked upon a whole series Of acts any single
one of which could question seriously his fitness of attitude
to sit in the legislature.
APPEARING before a committee he made d~isparagihg
remarks about labor. No politician, regardless Of which side
of the fence he halls from, makes public statements which
could at once ~antagonize his constituents, or any segment Of
them. The statements attributed to hin are therefore startling
o MANY years the term Royal Family" has been
synonymous with a brand of selfish ariStocracy which cared
little OF nothing for the welfare of any but a given few. Our
own experience has been that this is not necessarily true; that
there are indeed many fine, honest, conscientious individuals
in this Family whose interests and concerns are neither sim
lister nor selfish. And this is not the first time that we have
said 50, even though it might have been the unpopular thing
to say.
SENATOR MERWIN, by his remarks and his attitude
is doing more to give. credence to the unsavory side of this
group than any outsider could possibly do. And that is fair
neither to the island nor any given group.
BUT FURTHER accepting the duties of a legislator is,
OF should be, rather sacred There are Tremendous response
biIities entaled in the office, and these go far beyond just
enjoying the ability to exercise a negative influence. 1t is at
least the basic duty of those sent to the Senate to represent
their constituents in the most favorable light possible, con-
sistent with fairness and justice.
EVERYONE NOW and again one hears remarks, m-
kind and often t~houghtless remarks about the quality and
quantity Of labor in these Islands, and particularly St. Croz.
