Move For Arms Reduction
A joint French and Norwegian proposal asking the security Council to continue its study of the regulation and reduction of conventional armaments and armed forces was approved today by the United Nations Second Political Committee. The voting was 42 to five, with five abstentions. The committee defeated the Soviet’s proposal that member States submit information on atomic weapons as well as on armed forces and conventional weapons. Sir Alexander Cadogan (Britain) said that if it had not been far Soviet obstruction the committee might now have effective international control of atomic energy and there would not be any atomic weapons in existence.— New York.
