Veto on Operations
Seen in Soviet Plan

The aide-memoire mentions
that it is necessary only to have
the testimony of objective read
ings of instruments for a party
to demand that an inspection
be made and that there is no
way for the administrative
council to put obstacles in the
way of inspection. The aide
nemoire passes over the fact
that there must be some. au-
thority within the control sys-
tenn to certify which seismic
events. according to objective
criteria, are eligible for inSpec-
ton. and to arrange, direct and
dispatch an inspection team.
Under the proposed treaty any
certification for inspection, and
the dispatch of the inspection
teams, would be done by the
administrator. Under the So
Wet proposal, any member OF
the administrative council could
block the certification of the
event as eligible for inspection
by simply failing to agree the
criteria have been met. Any
member could, in addition, OBJ
struct or delay the dispatching
of an on-site inspection team
and hence render it ineffective.
No matter what explanation is
attempted, the fact remains
that the Soviet proposal for a
tripartite administrative coun-
Gil involves a built-in veto over
the operation of the control
system.

for reaching agreement on BAN

future OF be made dependent
upon progress in other areas OF
disarmament. The Unite d
States believes that the most
expeditions and effective way
to reach final agreement on a
test ban treaty is to keep the
test ban talks separate from
other disarmament discussions
Moreover, a successful conclu-
sion of the test ban negotia-
tions would facilitate to a great
degree progress on other dis
armament steps.
To throw away the progress
made toward a test ban agree
ment would mean a setback to
the worlds hopes for disarma-
ment. 1t would mean the fur
ther proliferation of nuclear
weapons and the testing of such
weapons by an ever-greater
number of countries. In view
of the ease of clandestine nu-
clear testing under an unpoliced
ban, it means that each gov
ernment will face an increas-
ing need to take whatever steps
may be necessary in its own
defense, including nuclesr test
ing. These are the conse-
quences of failure to agree and
for which the USSR, which
seems bent on making success
impossible, would have to take
the responsibility.

3 Yearly Inspections
Called Inadequate

The Soviet proposal for a tri-
partite administrative council
is not, of course, the sole point
at issue in the Geneva nego-
tiations. The present Soviet
proposals for on-site inspection
of possible violations of the nu-
clear test treaty are completely
unworkable. The need for rapid
and efficient on-site inspection
of such events has been agreed
in principle since the 1858 ex-
perts' conference. However, the
technical criteria proposed by
the Soviet delegation for judg-
ing the eligibility of such dis
turbances are entirely contrived
and would in themselves rule
out any possibility for inspec-
ton of many events which
could in fact be nuclear ex-
plosions.
Beyond this, the Soviet

Switch on Research
PuzzIinq to u. S.

The United States is at a
loss to understand the Soviet
position on the moratorium on
small underground tests. 1t has
been clear that under the pres
ent state of scientific knowl-
edge the type of control system
contemplated in the treaty
could not be relied upon for
determining whether or not
such tests had taken place. The
moratorium was proposed to
allow time for a joint research
program to be pursued vigor-
ously and comparatively to de-
velop techniqueS for detecting
these small underground tests
so that the treaty could be
extended to cover them. The
Soviet Union has abandoned
its original commitment to
join in this program and re-
pudiated the position of its
scientists that the program is
Evening star., 1961-06-18

necessary. The present Soviet
position means that the Soviet
government attaches no i'm
portance to the detection Of
these explosions and amounts
to a demand for a permanent
unpoliced ban on small under
ground nuclear tests. For it's
part, the United States has
allocated a large sum for, and
is prepared to carry out. a re-
search program to improve de-
lection techniqueS so that the
treaty can be extended to cover
all tests as quickly as possible.
The United States calls upon
the Soviet government to join
with it in this program.
The aide-memoire of the
Soviet govern ment asks
whether it is not better Ito
start with the main, cardinal,
question, i. e., the question of
general and complete disarma-
ment" and suggests that both
problems be solved "interde-
pendently." Quite apart from
this being a total reversal of
the Soviet position which origi-
nally insisted on treating the
test ban separately, the delays
and complexities involved in
the test ban negotia-
tions into the general diSarma-
ment discussions are unaccept-
able.
The delay in reaching a test
ban agreement which would
result from merging the test
ban negotiations into the COM
prehensive disarmament nego-
tiationS suggests that the So
Wet Union is attempting to
continue a situation in which
the United States accepts an
unenforced commitment not to
test. This would leave the So
Wet Union, with its closed
society. its government unac-
countable either to parlia-
ment or to an informed public
opinion and it's actions Shroud-
ed in a veil of secrecy, free to
conduct nuclear weapons tests
without fear of exposure. For
almost three years, the United
States has been willing to as
sumo the risk of not testing
nuclear weapons without the
certainty that the Soviet Union
has likewise stopped its test
ing. The national security and
defenses of the free world do
not allow this risk to be as
indefinitely.
If the Soviet proposal means
that progress in a test ban
negotiation be delayed pending
agreement in other fields of dis
1t is equally objec-
tionable. The United States
believes that the progress al

Retrogression Seen
On Sovereignty Issue

There are wider consequences
for which the USSR would also
have to take the responsibility.
After World War II, the leading
powers joined in establishing a
world organization because of
a common conviction, resting
upon the evidence of history,
that a world made up of nu-
merous, separate sovereign pow
ers, acting without regard to
their responsibilities in the in
ternational community, was a
world in which wars were too
easily bred. There was a wide
spread feeling that states must
be willing to place some limit
upon the free exercise of SOW
ereign powers in the interests
of the larger community of ma
tionS. This has been the trend
OF history. Now, the Soviet gov
ernment apparently desires to
return to a period of history
when the sovereign state ad-
mitted no limitation to its ac-
tions. The positions maintained
by the Soviet Union at Geneva
appear to mean that, even with
all that is at stake, the Soviet
Union is not ready to abate in
some small degree its regime
of secrecy and jealously-guard-
ed sovereignty.
This attitude offers small
prospect for a constructive out
come of the Geneva test ban
negotiations. 1t also offers little
hope for the development of the
kind of world, under an inter-
national rule of law, in which
general disarmament can take
place. The United States urges
the USSR to give careful con-
sideration to the United States

TEXT OF NOTE
U. S. Rejects Soviet 7 est Bon Proposals

t1teS note to Russia concern-
'ttGtionS tollotOS::
They would amount to adop-
ton Of the principle of self
inspection and would permit
any country, if it wished, to
evade the agreement with i'm
punity. At the same time, the
Soviet Union proposes, as an
alternative to complete ac-
ceptance Of it's position, to
choke off negotiations at Ge-
neva, on which 500 much work
has been done, and to merge
them into the general dis
armament negotiations, in
which we would have to start
all over again.
The positions taken by the
Soviet delegation at Geneva
and at Vienna and summarized
in the Soviet aide-memoire OF
June 4. 1861, make it appear
that the Soviet Union does not
want an agreement banning
nuclear weapons testing. Moth
ing in the statements of the
Soviet Union explains such a
major change in its position
on a question of Fundamental
Importance to the peoples OF
the world. In this situation
the United States Government
has an obligation to declare
its position and to state clearly
its disagreement with the So
Wet aide-memoire.
The United States believes
that a treaty prohibiting nu-
clear weapons tests, like other
agreements in the field of dis
armament, must contain eff
fective provisions for control.
It has sought to devise a treaty
which will provide for such
effective control and at the
same time assure that no party
to the treaty and no operator
of the control system could
hurt the interests of another
party or abuse the authority
granted by the treaty. Through
long and patient negotiations
the United States and the
United Kingdom had worked
out arrangements with the So
Wet Union which delineated
the requirements Of such a
control system and which had
appeared to be acceptable to
both sides.
The Soviet Union. in its aide
memoire of June 4, 1861, states
that it too favors effective in
ternational control. But the
Soviet proposals and the posi-
ton taken in the Soviet aide
memoire negate the entire con-
cept of effective international
control. Moreover. by insisting
on vesting control of the in
spection system in an unwork-
able, three-headed administra-
tive council, the Soviet Union
has undone all that had beer
apparently successfully achieved
during the long series of previ-
Gus negotiations to reconcile
the requirements of an effective
system of inspection with the
Soviet concern about security
and secrecy. This proposal was
a retro-grade step from the po-
sitlon previously taken by the
Soviet government in favor OF
a single, impartial admin
istrator to be chosen by both
sides, with his duties prescribed
by the treaty.

position as stated in this note.
An effective test ban treaty
promptly concluded at the nego-
tiations in Geneva is of the ut

of the world. To a world grown
impatient with protracted ten
sions and unease, it would sig

Control Proposals
Reduced by Allies

Beginning with the opening
day Of the resumed sessions on
March 81, the United States
and the United Kingdom dele
cations advanced a series of
new proposals. Building upon
the base established by the
almost three years of arduous
negotiation, the United States
and the United Kingdom, in an
effort to move toward the So
Wet point of view. proposed:
Qp To fix the number of on
site inspections in the Soviet
Union, the United States, and
the United Kingdom somewhere
between II and 20. depending
upon the annual incidence of
suspicious seismic events; (2D
To reduce the number of con-
trol posts on Soviet territory;
90 To establish a control COM
mission with equal representa-
ton for both sides: "a To in
stitute means for controlling
nuclear tests in outer space;
60 To extend to three years
the proposed moratorium on
those weapons tests which the
control system cannot pres
emily detect and which. there
fore. will be excluded from the
treaty pending the outcome OF
a research program, and CO.
To open up for internal and
external inspection the nuclear
devices to be used in research
on test-detection or for peace
full engineering uses.
There was. unfortunately, no
corresponding movement on
the part of the Soviet Union to
this narrowing of differences
between the parties, as might
have been anticipated in view
of the many Soviet statements
as to the Importance of arriv-
ing at prompt agreement
banning nuclear weapons tests.
Instead, since the resumption
of the test ban negotiations on
March 81. 1861, the Soviet
Union has withdrawn its agree
ment to a single impartial ad-
ministrator of the control sys-
tenn and reiterated without
change all of its other posi-
tions on outstanding issues. 1t
now argues that reaching
tagreement on a test ban should
be subordinated to the solution
of other disarmament problems
in spite of the fact that it was
the Soviet Union that had in
sisted on separating the two
questions at the outset.
Evening star., 1961-06-18

Union has proposed that the
number of on-site inspections
be tightly restricted to three
per year. This number repre-
sents a completely inadequate
sampling of the more than 100
large seismic events which, on
the average, will occur every
year in the Soviet Union. Only
a small percentage of this num-
ber can be identified as earth
quakes. Any one of the re-
mainder might be a clandestine
nuclear test.
The United States has pro-
posed that the number of in
spections in the Soviet Union,
the United States and the
United Kingdom should vary
between a minimum of IL and
a maximum of 20, depending
upon the actual number OF
events that occur. This could
hardly represent a threat to
the security of the Soviet state
or present an opportunity for
veiled espionage. To begin with.
the inspections would be car
ried out by international in
Spection teams whose freedom
of movement would be narrow
ly circumScribed to a very
small area and which would
operate only in response to
carefully-defined objective in
strument readings. The loca-
tion Of the areas to be inspect
ed would be determined solely
by earth tremors which are not
within the control of GHD party
requesting inspection. In ad-
dition, tht United States has
proposed a provision which
would allow the Soviet Union
to assign any number of OBJ
servers to accompany each in
spection team to insure that
it's members will not engage IN
espionage activities. If the So
Wet Union cannot accommo-
date this degree of carefully
supervised activity in its terri
tory by an international body,
the prospect for any approach
able progress toward effectively
controlled disarmament in a
peaceful world is indeed dim.
The Soviet Union still insists
that the chief of any control
post established in its own ter
ritory be a citizen of the USSR.
The United States believes that
this is fundamentally contrary
to the aim of objective inter-
national surveillance. The So
Wet Union insists as we'll that
on-site inspection teams oper-
ating in its own territory be
stated in large measure by its
own nationals and headed by
one of its nationals. This would
frustrate completely the pur-
pose of on-site inspection Of
suspicious events.

The Embassy of the United
States of America presents its
compliments to the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of the Un-
ion of Soviet Socialist Repub-
lies and has the honor to state
the following:
An international agreement
for the discontinuance of nu-
clear weapons tests is and will
continue to be a prime objective
of the United States Govern
ment. The United States and
the United Kingdom have pro-
posed a treaty that will achieve
this goal. This proposed treaty
is the result of almost three
years of pains taking effort on
the part of the United States
and the United Kingdom to
work out an effective agree
ment with the Soviet Union to
which we hope other govern
ments would promptly adhere.
This agreement would point the
way toward ending the arms
race in safety and in trust: it
would remove any hazards in
'Volved in testing. 1t would re-
strict the number of countries
producing nuclear weapons,
thereby reducing the possibility
of luclear war.
During more than two years
of negotiations, prior to their
resumption on March 81, 1861,
the areas of disagreement be-
tween the parties had appar-
emily been substantially mar
rowed. In fact, it appeared
that more progress had been
made in this negotiation than
in any other in the general field
of disarmament. Each side had
modified its position in re-
Sponse to the position of the
other side. The United States,
therefore. redoubled its efforts
to find common ground in the
hope that this might lead to
an agreement.
Evening star., 1961-06-18

The Soviet aide-memoire of
June 4. 1861, attempts to jus
tify the Soviet position by con-
tending that one man at the
head of the inspection system
might take arbitrary action
against Soviet interests.
The United States represent
ative at Geneva has inquired
of the Soviet representative
what particular functions of
the proposed administrator
give the Soviet Union concern.
He has pointed out that the
powers and duties of the ad-
miniStrator are precisely set
out in the treaty. Moreover,
he has pointed out that the
administrator would receive
directions from the control
commission set up by the
treaty on which both sides in
the negotiations would have
equal representation and which
would have responsibility for
all politically important deci-
sions which had not been de-
termined by the treaty itself.
There is no reason, therefore.
for any signatory nation to
fear that positive acts of the
administrator could impair its
security. What it ought to
fear are the possibilities for
obstruction, notification and
confusion, which a three
headed council would multiply
intolerably.
The Soviet aide-memoire
suggests that the Western"
powers would most likely NOM
mate for the administrator a
person from a neutral" coun-
try and questions whether such
an official, even though chosen
by unanimous consent, would
take a neutral" stand with re-
gard to the Communist coun-
tries. 1t states that there do
not and cannot exist any neu-
trail persons and questions
whether a single administrator
could ensure impartial imple-
mentation" of an agreement.
The United States cannot ac-
cept the idea that there are no
men in the un-aligned coun-
tries with sufficient objectivity
and sense of duty to carry out
explicit provisions of interna-
tional agreements. 1t is the firm
belief of the United States that
there are such men and they
play an important role in the,
hope for developing a more
stable world order. No one
should be miSled by the fact
that the Soviet proposal pur-
ports to assign a role to the
neutral as a member of the
three-man administr a t i've
council. It is a role which could
be effectively exercised only
with the concurrence Of the
