another for the western demo
problems.
In a speech before the Cen
eral Assembly here, Lord Home
asked: rs there growing up a
code of international behavior
in which one rule is to be ap-
piled to the Communists and
another to the Western democ-
racies? One attitude to the
bully because he deals in fear,
another for the democrat be-
cause his stock in trade is rea-
son and compromise"
II the United Nations IS to
become an international Or
ganization which guards the
weak and guarantees their in
dependence, then they must
not yield to the temptation TO
put public pressureS on the
reasonable nations because
they feel that they can in the
last resort be relied upon to be
decent and give way. That
would be to deny the justice
to others which they them
selves expect to enjoy
will Detail Moves
Lord Home also announced
Great Britain has decided to
supply the United Nations
with full information on "po-
litical and constitutional steps"
being taken to free the few
remaining British colonies.
This was "a decision of first
Importance" he said, presum-
ably intended to challenge the
Soviet Union to open up ter
ritories where it is accused of
colonialism.
The British foreign secretary
supported the general allied
line for standing firm on Ber-
lin, insisting on uninterrupted
access to the city and. guar
antees of freedom for the peo-
pie there.
He had a general comment
on negotiating technique in his
prepared text which he may
have intended to apply to Ber-
lin as we'll as to other inter
national disputes.
"Negotiators must not see
victory over each other but an
honorable deal" the text said,
but in his delivery he deleted
the reference to honorable
deal"
Referring specifically to the
Berlin German problem, Lord
Home acknowledged "it is GER
tainly argueable that Is years
after signature there may be
a case for a change, but
it must be a change not by
ultimatum from one party to
the agreement but consent of
all"
He called again for free elec-
tions in all of Germany under
international supervision.
Charges Bad Faith
The Soviet Union has nego-
tiated in bad faith on a nuclear
test ban. Lord Home charged.
I'VE know enough to be sure
that such an extensive range
of Is explosions, all involving
fallout, took months of careful
preparation" he said, refer
ring to the sudden Soviet re-
sumption of nuclear tests.
while one side was negotiat-
ing in good faith the other was
engaged in deliberate decep-
ton"
Lord Home also criticized the
Soviet formula for inspection
of disarmament agreements.
1T would be easy for each
side to produce 500 airplanes
and burn them in a public
bonfire" he observed. That,
as I understand the Russian
attitude. could be inspected.
But how is one to know that
500 requirements are not COM
ing off the supply lines the
next day?"
The Soviet Union wants only
discarded arms inspected. on
the grounds that control of
stockpiles would be espionage.
The British Foreign Secretary
joined President Kennedy in
opposing the Soviet proposal
for a troika or 3-bloc admin
istration of United Nations op-
erations.
There had been a brief furry
of excitement here over a hint
by Foreign Minister Gromyko
yesterday that Russia may have
been reIenting on the troika.
Mr.. Gromyko caused a ripple
of interest when hereferred am
biguously to the possibility OF
agreeing on "a provisional solu-
ton for the beginning"
Omits TrOika
His failure to mention the
troika in his General Assembly
speech lifted hopes he would
accept a single secretary gen.
eral, perhaps with another
name, on an interim basis.
But Deputy Foreign Min
lister Zorin dashed these hopes
few hours later when he out
lined a slightly modified troika
plan for replacing the late Dag
