Arms talks call
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) MOSCOW, September 8. The Soviet Union would put forward in the very near future a formal proposal for a world disarmament conference, diplomatic sources said in Moscow last night. The proposal, already made by Communist Party leader, Mr Leonid Brezhnev at the Soviet Party congress labt March, would provide a Russian response to Chinese rejection of another Soviet disarmament idea. In the same six-point peace programme put. forward by Mr Brezhnev, the Kremlin called for a conference of the five nuclear Powers. This suggestion was rejected by China on the ground that all countries—and not just the nuclear Powers—were concerned with disarmament.
