Arms Race or Control: A Matter Of Risks

is certainly a form of arms con-
troll.
Indeed, talk itself between rep
resentatives Of the Soviet Union
and the United States is a form
Of arms control,
While it might be well to sep
arate the two control and dis
armament - in our thinking, they
are inseparable in fact. Control is
a first step towards disarmament.
A ban on nucelar testing would
be a control that might well be
extended to other weapons.
The United States recognizes
that any move towards disarma-
ment must be gradual. Our ne
gotiators in Geneva have been
talking about the basics Of arms
control which hopefully would
limit the intensity of the arms
race and reduce the risks Of acct
dental war, which are quite real.
So, In effect, we have, consciously
or otherwise, separated control
from disarmament. While the
most immediate matter at Geneva
is the test ban, the primary long
range goal of the Western Powers
remains general and total disarm-
ament.

Since the day when man pos
sessed no weapon more deadly
than the club, he has harbored a
strong desire to live in peace. In
his ingenuity, however, and de-
spite his yearning for peace, he
has advanced his weaponry to a
point where he now possesses a
capability to destroy his world.
Yet, his desire for peace has
grown stronger.
This is perhaps the great para
dox Of history. Peace has escaped
him and, as President Kennedy
recently pointed out, world history
records more periods of war than
Of peace.
AS man has improved the de-
vices of destruction from the club
to the thermonuclear tipped
ICBM, his world has become
vastly more complex; the prob
lens and differences of nations
have been compounded to a point
Of seeming to elude solution or
settlement.

say, the most hopeless program
IN government.
Another high-level try to bring
about q ban on nuclear testing
gets under way in Moscow tomor-
row. The United States will be
represented by Undersecretary Of
State Averell Hartman. This is
perhaps the most trying diplo-
matte mission ever handled by Mr..
Hartman, a man Of vast expert
ence in government and interna-
tional affairs.
Unless we succeed in the dis
armament effort, the globe in our
time may be just another charred
and pocked planet idling through
the heavens, devoid of life.
Yet to many disarmament is a
"pie-in-the-sky," an impractical
and unrealistic effort, seeking an
unattainable goal.
To others, disarmament is q
dastardly scheme to have the
United States unilaterally throw
down its arms and deliver itself
UP to the mercy Of the Com
munists.

Lord ShawcrOss discussed
the moral situation in Great
Britain I'm an address on June
Is before the Commonwealth
Press Union. Excerpts from the
speech follow.
Grave moral issues confront us
all. But they are by no means
confined to one party, nor to our
country alone. Nor were they
created by the recent case, which
has merely illustrated them. The
other day in connection with this
miserable Profumo affair, I said
that when the bell tolled it tolled
for us all but that as a party
issue it was an irrelevance which
ought not to affect the course,
the integrity or the decencies Of
British polictical life.
/ think so still. There may have
been uncertainty as to the facts,
but there can be no issue between
the political parties about morals.
I am not a member of the Tory
Party: in spite Of temptations I
remain essentially a radical with
leanings to the left. Yet I believe
1t is not only quite unjust, but
will do our country grave harm
If we treat these moral issues as
involving any kind Of party po-
litical division.
This is by no means the first
time that a cabinet minister has
committed adultery or has lied,
nor is the Tory Party the only
one to be inflicted with such mis-
fortunes. From time to time, as
in the professions, as in industry,
so in every party there will be
adulterers, evil lvers, perverts Of
one kind or another. Sometimes
they will be high UP. Very often
their character is quite unknown
to their colleagues or Is discovered
too late.

Must Have VerifieotiOn

The plan for total disarmament
has been well-publicized, but it
remains for many a fearsome and
dangerous one. Unquestionably,
ignorance is the cause Of such
fear.
ANY agreement on disarmament,
of course, must provide for in
spection and verification. It must
be designed so q balance of force
is retained during the phase-out
period to assure that no nation
would at any time have military
advantage over another in pro-
portion to present capabilities.
But there would be some risk
involved, no matter how many
safeguards may be built into an
agreement. The question is which
is the greater risk - the conse-
quence of an unbridled arms race
that is bound to consume the
world or the possibility of cheat
ing on a disarmament agreement?

Many Jobs for the Doctor

Difficult to Sell

To sell the American people on

own defense expenditures are
soaring higher than ever before
In peacetime is difficult enough
in itself. To convince them that
we must actively pursue disarma-
ment at time when the Soviet
Union continues to allot the vast
ly greater portion Of its total re-
sources to building armed forces
designed to annihilate us is next
to impossible.
It is difficult for us to be gen.

tention centers on our own Sc
curity and that of our families

A Perfect countdown

A weapons officer unlocked his
fire button and pressed it. A five
ton steel hatch on deck folded
back on hinges and uncovered
the firing tube of the selected
missile. A plastic diaphragm over
the top prevented water from
rushing into the tube.
Here, the countdown on the
simulated firing halted, and a
second began.
Two days later, the Blue crew,

sion through to completion.
