The Soviet Unions reaction

one important indication Of its
sincerity in seeking an easing
Of world tension.
Russia would not be called
upon to contribute nlanpower
to a United Nations army: no
great power would participate
with men. She would. however,
be asked TO help pay the bill,
and TO permit the army to
operate free Of her paralyzing
veto.
Neither of these things has
been consistent with Soviet
policy on United Nations peace
forces to date.

be one of the principal themes
of the three month Assembly.

Subsequently, q Defense De-

Similar bans apparently will
