Armaments
Sir,—ln blaming equally the Soviet Union and the United States for the arms race, R. J. Glen, whose pessimistic view of the world’s armaments situation dwells unduly on its negative aspects, unfairly ignores the consistently positive advocacy of disarmaments, since its founding, by the Soviet Union, which has had placed on the agenda of the current session of the United Nations, proposals for world disarmament From Monday’s cable page of “The Press,” under the heading, “New cold war in U.N.,” We learn that, significantly, both China and the United States opposed the proposal in the General Assembly and want it shelved without a vote. The Soviet
Government’s sincerity can be tested by equal sincerity in other governments’ agreeing to consider the proposals constructively. The sincerity of all governments in their profession of peace will be gauged in future by their attitude to these Soviet disarmament proposals in the United Nations.—Yours, etc., M.CJL November 30, 1971,
