It will be noted that in 19h? this group was awarded the obel Peace Prize
for their efforts and that their teachings at this time are the same as they
were then. Members of this organization have access to most Cemunist-
dominated countries through their efforts in the field of foreign relief,
and it is felt that they would be in a position to carry on espionage work
if they were so inclined.
This letter is intended to bring this matter to the attention of the Bureau
in case complaints regarding the organization are received at the Seat of
Government. Ho investigation will be conducted by this office unless ad,
vised to the contrary. '

Dear Sir: .
. "92,~.. I
A few weeks ego,wEi&e~xisiting in Crest1ine;3§lif0rnia
I found the enclosed literture end other papers. This was
found in Camp Seely and, which is a large Camp withabout
50 cabins and large study halls end in the mountioh area.
The small paper " Advices_on conscription and war" is
not the proper way for JG] person or persons to be thinking
and even though religious, they should not show or extend these
views and outwerd force in the holding beck of either manpower .
or other cooperation needed by every American,especially during
these times. . . '
If this is not in proper order, it should come to your
attention. If it is Deeper, please disregard.
Youreftruly

Inclosed is a copy of the Advertisement which a.n*1ea1'é'd. in our San Diego
Evening '1ri'mme on April 28, and. in the San Diego Union on Anril 29.
It seems to be highly flavored with 80??-{IJZEISIL ~ .
. . _ M
There are rumors t';.at t11etAe'.3._'3_I_C__5_5T E-RISES SF.R~T_ICFI CSfT_"IT:.-:3 is no!
a. C0m::1'.miSGic front. If 13:15 1-u.'nor_'cine§'1:~.ave'a background of truth,
countless thousands might be swayed. by the incloseri. acid and. the literature
follow-up.
For mfosn personal investigation, I rro-0.1:} like to"n.are a cooy of said
free pamphlets. Z-Le-fever, it might be unwise to have one:-. nazne in any
wt-.Y connected with subversive a.':";ivit?7.es, so I refrained .';eT-ting a pa::ra1'.1e
It would be interesting to know. also who 'O1'0Vi.d':d the Special Ponds to
nance the add and follow-ups. It is very costly.
I have confience in your Bureau to know far better than I if this group
needs watching, and-trust that you will be guided by your own opinion

Dear Hr. Hoover; 5
' I am enclosing a pamphletthat I received yesterday
thru the nail. _I an very anxious to know if this is Oomunistic
material. I have looked thru it and it seems rather un-americcn
to me. The person who gave them my name is w. Can
gou tell me if she is a Communist; and if so, can anything be
done to stop the passing out of this material, not long ago I -
received a book entitled "Eases & Empires, ". or something like
H1017. I immediately returned it a.nd0sF: for them to" lay Off
sending me anymore material of that nature; but they seem topersist. _ '
no one'is a better American citizen than I} and it
really_burns me up to receive this material.
' Please advise me what to ao or am I wrong about this
materia1.' I am really anxious about this.

was tactfully advised of the confidential
nature of Bureau files in this connection, and he advises that his interest
in this organization was aroused by an~a.nOnymous 1etter"he had received recently
which merely contained a. pamphlet which purported to "expose" the American
Friends Service Corrunittee as being a group that was either e Communist Front
organization or at least in sjnnpathjv with the Communist Party movement. The
advises that this pamphlet stated that the American Friends Service .
Colzmittee was holding a meeting at the Christian Youth Foundation Camp near
Athens, Texas, from August 23, through the- 29, 1953, and the anonymous partythat sent hie. the pamphlet had-written on the p:=.?i;'J'!!18ti "Are you going to let
this Communist outfit come to roar county?" The advises that the
Christian Youth Foundation Camp is 0'-med by the several church groups in East
Texas, and he presumes that The American Friends Committee has made arrangements
to use the C&1J!.p on the above-mentioned dates. He advises that the pamphlet,
iiwbich hC--»CG921ld.flOt.i!'.J¬;dj_£LtJ31§'<-1QCIilI.O!, rather strongly indicated that this
Committee was s Corznunist Organization and if. so he desired to know about it
for his future guidance when these persons come to Athens.
advises that the pamphlet mentioned appeared -to have been prepared by some anti-
Conmunist group, and had for its purpose exposure of the cosxittee for what
it was. The ii"III"' advises that he believes Tth-at the pamphlet was printed
in Houston, Texas, but he does not recall by whom. 'advises that he
will locate this gpamphlet and furnish it to Bureau Agents. - '
The has adopted the attitude that even if the writers
of the pamphlet are correct and that the American" Friends Service Committee is
of Comnmnistic sympathy, there is little he can do to prevent their holding, the
meeting in Henderson County, Texas, other than to make the contents of the
pamphlet available to the church groups that own and operate the Christian
Youth Foundation property-
_ when the C-!urnis?:es' this pamphlet to Bureau representa-
tives, you will be advised of its contents and publishers.

be had assumed that the Friends erviee Committee was entirely in

has told one of my colleagues that it is practically_co:munistic,
in particular in relation to its.interest in peace. deuce my
question to you -ls it subversive? . k
You know much better than I_do how much harmful talk is going

would be very helpful if we could make this declaration-and on

Sol;/UK has now received an application from Mr, R. ardiner of the =
uivcreity College; Ihadan, West.Africs, for a Fulbright travel grant.His
a1{lic9Lion is strongly sunported by the Colonial Office and the University
l1'3£_§1J 1!.-.:1c-n. 1.1-. Gardiner is one of the really great men of West Africa,
he elects sonidrreolc influence in the territory. The work of the Extra-
¢;e1 Fopartoent of the University is important and anything which can be done
-.o at-.i"C;HgLhf'-K! its quality will be valuable. _ _
There is no douPt that Mr. Gardiner's participation in the four conferences
of the Friends Service Committee enumerated in its letter of February 28th to Hr,
£3rdiz1e':'. which is attached to his sonlicatien, will be valuable from the point or
view of inbcinationl understanding and the Colonial Office amd the Commission
w~uld lile to help him to attend these. It is, however, on the importance and
lasting value of his work in the Extra-Mural Department of the University Collcce
B To-mien that the Commission bases a request tot the Department, with the assist
1f uho Conference Board, shovld make every effort to arrange e suitable program for
?r= Gardiner to study adult education with special reference'to the rise of visual
i ;=Is.. "
It will be noted that the Phelps=Stokes Fund, 101 Park Avenue, New York, is
prepared to make a dollar contribution towards Mr. G&rdiner's expenses but the
actual nwount is not given. This could, hotevcr, be ascertained from the Fresi
Er, Frory ices. There, however, will be need for further dollar assistance if Kr"
*rdinvr stays three mcnthse Is there any possibility that a Smith-Mundt grant
could be maa to him? The Corricsicn understands that the hmbassy would be *rc»

While h was discussing other matters with

he desired to call to the Bureaufs attention a film recently
released by the Quaker association, Thetemerican Friends _
Service Convnittee. This film, which is designed for conmerical
and private showing, is entitled, "Time for Greatness and altizou
it shows the customarg; Quaker isolationist viewpoint, it is
neuerthelesmpackea-with Communist propaganda. He stated that
the film. could not have been made better, from a propaganda view-
point, had__ it been made by the Communist Party or by the U.$'.S.5.
He stated that it continually places the United States and the
ff. S. foreign policy in a very deg_::r,ding state and it is the tyne
of film. that can do irreparable harm to the United States, par-tic
larly when shown abroad. He stated this D!1T!£iCU1OF~--,f'il.?',-=U3.3gh

= stated that a review of the film showed
_that undoubtedly it was carefully censored by the Quaker organize
tion and that undoubtedly some persons in that or-;;'an'ization are
either Con-nunists, or are totally naive of what Communism is.$ advised that he felt this should be called to the o
Bureau's attention as it was something that could certainly be
classified as a threat to internal security, particularly in view
of the fact that this film is being sent by the American Friends
Service Committee throughout the world for showing. . -' -

rot some time the American bnends bervice Committee,
engaged as it is in a wide variety of activities in many parts of
the world, has felt a responsibility to provide reports to the
American public which may help develop a constructive, peace-
ful approach to the tensions and conicts that paralyze our
world. To this end the Service Committee in 1949 issued a
report on The Uirircrl Slates am! the Sciatic! Union and in 1931
another report on Steps to lttrtr'. Each of these endeavored to
point out some practical applications of the Way oi Peace to
a world in conict. Each pamphlet stressed the need for a
drastic reduction of arms the world over as one of a number
of "steps to peace."
These reports elicited considerable public discussion. Many
of the comments received, both from members of the United
Nations and from private individuals, urged that this construc-
tive approach be applied to some of the complicated problems
of arms reduction. Little genuine progress on international
disarmament planning has been made. Nevertheless, we are
convinced that thoughtful people the world over feel more and
more acutely the need for constru<:t.i92'e suggestions to bring the
arms race, with its staggering psychological and economic
burdens, to an end.
lt is not the intention of these reports to challenge the
good faith of either the United States or the Soviet Union in
their interpretations of each other: actions. 92Vhenevct any
nation looks at another in fear and distrust, it is iiitcly to mis-
represent or fail to understand the gestures of the other. In
this report, as in the two previous ones, we are not endeavoring
to judge the tightness of claims and countcrclaims, but rather
to Suggest constructive measures for the good of all.
The historic position of the Society of Friends in such
matters has been that of a creative neutrality, cndcavoring
thereby to build bridges of understanding between nations as
a means oi settling disputes in mutual good faith. It is in that
spirit this report is written. Naturally, however, there is a

3wide range of conviction among Quakers as to the best methods
of implementing these dccplyfclt concerns for the welfare of
human society. The working party responsible for the prep-
aration of this report, recognizing this, endcwored to arrive at
what Quakers call "the sense of the meeting" on all points,
even though individuals on it represented diverse opinions on
specic measures and details.
The two previous pamphlets emerged out of the collective
experience of Quakers working in the troubled areas of the
world. Disarniament and arms control, however, are more
technical elds requiring professionally specialized advice and
guidance. To face this task, a working party, called together
over a year ago, was composed of both Quakers and non-
Quaiiéfs, some of whom have specialized in problems relating
to disarmament and the control of atomic energy. Harrop A.
Freeman and ]ohn H. Ferguson, respectively chairman and
secretary of the working party, have interviewed many oiiicials
from various countries in all parts oi the world in the process
of this study. The latter, with I-llmore _];1Clts0n and Cl.'|.rcnC¬
E. Pickett, personally followed discussions at the Sixth General
Assembly of the United Nations held in Paris during the fall
and_wintcr of 19H-52. Before the specic proposals embodied
in this pamphlet were drawn up, Elmore Jackson severed his
connection with the working party when he joined the statl
of the United Nations on a special ;ts$ignn92et92E.
David F. Cavcrs and Robert W. Frase, two additional
members of the working party, have both made contributions
I0 the report on the basis of cxllcnsive independent studies,
especially concerning international control of atomic energy.
Other participants includcd Stephen G. Cary, Lewis M. Hos-
itins, Philip jacob, 92"i"iilia|n i.. i92eu:nann, '92'92"'illiam Merton
Scott, and Gilbert I. 92Vhite. Wliile no one of the participants
claims expertness in all phases of this field, the writers have
honestly tried to marshall the wisest advice to guide the Execu-
tive Board of the American Fr ds Service Cornntittce i
recommendations as presented in this parnplilct.
Both the brevity of a pamphlet and the world's relative
inexperience with technical aspects of the subject impose de-
nite limits on a discussion of so complex 1 Problem as the
reduction OI the world's arsenal. Closely connected with the-
4l
I
92Problems of disarmament is the relationship armaments bear
to the economies of modern nations. For some years now the
economic systems of the major powers have been geared pri-
marily to the rnacliincry of war. Any ctlcctive dismantling of
that machinery will inevitably require extensive Changes in
the economies of the world, and disarmament planning must
eventually take this factor into full consideration,
Another ancilliary question involved in disarmament is:
tvhat shape will political settlements and world institutions
nave to assurnem order to guarantee a more eltectual inter-
national sccurity? This question entails consideration of a wide
variety of subjects, including the location of sovereignty, the
character of world institutions, sanctions and their enforcement.
Modern society cannot escape the responsibility to face
these questions forthrightly. Complicated as they are by the
transitional nature of our world and our concepts of world
society, they nc92'Crtl1Cl92:S$ deserve immediate spt-cialiied study.
HOWEWI, dailed discussion of these ancilliary questions could
HOI be included in the present study. .92lorcover, we believe
that a solution to these complex problems can be found more
readily, once the basic agreements to limit and reduce the tools
of war have been signed and sealed.
The American Friends Service Committee advances the
Wgcstions embodied in this pamphlet out of an abiding con-
viction that God would have us nd :1 way to remove wag and
the tools of war from the face of the earth.

THE ARMS RACE
our OF A DEEP human desire for security both the East and
the West are building their arms establishments to un-
precedented heights. Military budgets, and taxes to support
them, have reached staggering proportions. Figures showing
the trend in the United States and among her European allies
are given in the graphs printed on the inside front and back
covers.
Impressive as these gures may lac, the graphs fail to
tell the full story. On the manpower side, the gures do not
show the greatly expanded use of civilian manpower in pre-
paredness programs and defense industries. On the expenditure
side, they do not reveai the cost of foreign economic aid. of
war-related programs like aid to veterans, of the cost of stimuli
to production, nor of the cost of price control. Nor do they
show the cost of ination, the added cost of carrying an increas-
ingly heavy national debt, and the economic waste inherent in
rearmament. The full permanent consequences in terms of
high taxes, national debt, depletion of resources, neglected
welfare programs, and corrosion of human and spiritual values
are immeasurable.
If military might alone can give us a sense of security,
certainly in 1952 the United States should feel secure. 92Ve
have the most favored, most easily protected geographical
position of any nation in the world. 92-Ye have the most highly
developed industrial strength, the largest navy, the greatest
stockpile of atomic weapons. Yet, the feeling of insecurity is
more epidemic among us since the end of 9292'/orld War II than
at any time within memory.
Can it be that we are victims of our own policy? Can it
be that rearmament, adopted in the interest of security, is itself
contributing to our insecurity and to the insecurity of the
world? One thing is clear: rearmament seems only to lead to
the rearmament of those we most fear. Each new measure

_ , , _ .. t -__ .... ..............urc auupteo in the name of defense has the
effect of intensifying insecurity.
That this process is madness everyone knows. And yet,
when negotiation of differences is so desperately needed, spokes-
men for East and 92{-t-st keep on blaming one another while
each bloc girds for war, hoping to "buy time, "negotiate
from strength," or if worse comes to worst, win "the war
nobody wants."
Both American and Soviet spokesmen claim success, or at
least partial success, for their pul'lCll3$ of rearmament. American
spokesmen claim that the threat of the atom bomb has deterred
Soviet aggression in western Europe; that United States mili-
tary strength, coupled with econorhic and military aid, has
prevented Communists from coming to power in Italy, France,
Greece, the Middle East and elsewhere; that prompt military
action in Korea l'1Zl92 discouraged similar aggression in other
parts of the globe; and that a rm policy in Germany and
Austria has ltept these countries from falling into the Soviet
orbit. In time and under the pressures of a show of force on
all sides, western spokesmen contend, the Soviet Union will be
forced by events into a more conciliatory attitude.
Spoltesrnen for the East malte similar claims. According
to them, their rm attitude has kept western powers from
reuniting and rt-arming Germany and Austria. They claim to
have neutralized American military and economic aid in west-
ern Europ _tl1e Middle East and elscivhere. Soviet policies aregiven credli for preventing the conquest of Korea and unica-
tion under auspices hostile to the Soviet Union and China.
Soviet policy is also credited with '|.ll.lt92l.|.1l'>l92lng and defeating
western imperialist inuences in China, Indo-China, Malaya,
lncloncsia, the Middle East and elsewhere. It will force western
powers, so the Soviets claim, to the point of bankruptcy and
constant instability. Firm resistance has made the United
Nations, to Soviet eyes, less of a western tool than it would
otherwise have been. Finally, it is claimed that Communist
leadership has inspired common people everywhere to demand
a better life, national independence, and peace.
Where the whole truth lies it is obviously impossible to
tell. In an era dominated by nation-states, with most educa-
tional and propaganda media directed or deeply inuenced by
8 .l.government or national patriots, citizens ¬92'¬E'YWl92EIB are taught
to "take sides." Under these stresses, whatever -the frame of
government, most citizens become highly partisan and limit
their views more and more to the bounds prescribed by otiicial
or majority opinion. The issues are too complex, too colored
by Conllicting propaganda, for dogmatic conclusions. In the
nal analysis, the claims and counterclaims of the opposing
powers are not as important to the course of history as the
tensions, promoted by competitive armaments, that seem to
lead us further down the path to war and the decline of
civilization.
But, it is asked, did not the United States unilaterally
disarm after World ll l? 92il i t -
. I-.
bilized our army to a much larger extent inn the Russians,
yet the military strength of the United States has never bten
measured exclusively by the size of its standing army. For
geographic reasons we rely primarily on Sea and air power,
while the Soviet Union is primarily a land power. If all catc-
guries of weapons are included, as they must be in any fair
analysis of military strength, the theory of r92incrica's unilateral
disarmament collapses. Since the war our production of atomic
weapons has proceeded without pause and at an increased
tempo, -.1 fSl1'll.L:t1g network. of air bases has been developed,
and we have maintained a large complement of hca-vy aircraft
usable for atomic bombing. Our wartime navy, by far the
largest in the world, has been maintained on a stand-by basis.
In no postwar year has our military budget fallen below 11
billion dollars. This is hardly unilateral disarmament.
But, it is also aslred, can the United States disarm in the
present world? 92"92'-"ith tensions rviiat tire}-' arc, caused partly by
the failure of nations to disarm after the war, it docs not seem
reasonable to expect any nation to disarln unless others do also.
Nor has this been proposed in the United Nations. Rather,
what is sought is an international agreement to ban certain
weapons, limit and reduce armaments, and establish an effective
system of international control.
Indeed, those who have thought about the subject have
long realized that world peace and order depend on t;lis1rm;1-
ment, not armaments. The rst objective of the Hague Peace
/-92storage facilities, and ! license or lease of ssionable materials
for peaceful use.
When Mr. Bernard Baruch, the American representative
on the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission, presented
the American plan in June 1946, he added provisions for
a! swift punishment for illegal production and b! elimina-
tion of the veto in the Security Council when considering
counter-measures against nations engaging in illegal production.
The Soviet counter-proposal, elaborated gradually over the
course of a year, asked for the outlawing and destruction of
the bombs rst, prescribed limits on inspection, permitted day-
to-day inspection without the veto, but kept the veto intact
for Security Council action against violators. By September
I946 the Scientic and Technical subcommittee concluded that
:1! effective control of production of atomic energy is tech-
nologically feasible, b! processes leading to both peaceful and
warlike use of atomic energy are so similar that both require
control, and c! production of U-23$, plutonium and U-23-3
must be strictly controlled. This report was adopted unani-
mously including the Soviet Union!.
A second subcommittee was set up to consider safeguards.
its preliminary report .1ppr !Vet.l inspection of mining and ren-
ing stages but preferred placing actual management of plants
producing nuclear fuels in the hands of the international con-
trol agcncy. The Soviet Union raised some objection, but it
will never be kttown whether she would have agreed to the
report, for the work of the Commission was shifted to the job
of preparing a general report which was finally forced through
substantially in the American form.
The promise of these earlier developments has unfortu-
nately bcen overshadowed by the stalemate in both the atomic
and the conventional disarmament commissions. However, in
the debates before the commissions some cautious modications
of positions previously taken were ventured.
jreulting the Stalemate After years of deadlock between the
great powers, disarmament negotia-
tions tool-t on new life at the Sixth General rksscmbly meetu-ig_
of the United Nations in Paris during the fall and winter of
195 1-195 2. A Committee of Twelve, appointed by the pre-
12
i. n I - " ' ' 'l
I
92vious General Assembly, completed a report recommending
merger of the two commissions, which for several years had
worked separately on atomic and conventional arms control
and reduction. Anticipating this report, the American, British
and I-ranch governments introduced e set of proposals
shortly after the Sixth General Assembly convened on Novem-
bet s, 19:1.
Unfortunately the new proposals were at rst stated and
discussed in an atmosphere inflamed by bitterness, causing
widespread anxiety lest the entire session come to naught.
However, spokesmen for both contesting blocs subsequently
moderated words and temperatures suicientiy to permit more
reasoned consideration of the issues involved. In the days and
weeks that followed, Russian delegates countered with pro-
posals of their own, and both American and Soviet blocs made
what appeared to be signicant clarications and concessions.
Some promise of more reasoned negotiation thus appeared.
When the General Assembly adjourned in February 1952, the
long-standing stalemate began to give way K0,: more fluid
situation which permitted some hope for further progress.
The bare outline of these events illustrates that, even in
spite of tensions and bitterness, negotiation of sharp liile1CnC¬S
can still be carried on. Indeed, readers may be surprised to
note below that the areas of agreement are as great as they are.
Merging the Commissions The First General Assembly
[on January 24, I946! voted
to establish the Atomic Energy Commission. A year later on
February I3, 1947! the Security Council, on the basis of an
Assembly resolution, established the Commission for %n92.'en=
tional Armaments. Both commissions, especially the former,
did vnluabli: exploratory work. But for about three years prior
to the meeting of the Sixth General Assembly in Paris, the
commissions had been hopelessly deadiocked.
One of the controversies was whether discussions of atomic
and conventional armaments should be kept separate. From
the beginning American spokesmen, though admitting that
both types of weapons should be brouglit under control, in-
sisted on separating'the discussions. Atomic weapons, they
maintained, presented new and peculiar technical problems
' » I3
/"-92 |
4-which could not adequately be considered in discussions that
included conventional armaments.
Soviet spokesmen, on the other hand, wanted to discuss
the atomic bomb in relation to other armaments in the Conven-
tional Armaments Commission when that commission was
established. They discounted the peculiar problems presented
by atomic weapons, and accused the Americans of delaying
discussions of converitional arms until agreement was reached
on atomic weapons. They stressed the unreality of keeping the
discussions separate when national security involved both types
of armament.
Happily, this aspect of the controversy has now been termi-
nated. The ride turned in October 1950 when President Truman
suggested that the two commissions be consolidated. More than
a year later, speaking to the General Assembly in Paris, Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson announced: ". . . We favor the
merger of the Atomic Energy Commission and the Conven-
tional Arms Commission. This I say quite frankly is a change
in the position of the United States." 92Vith the ice broken, all
parties admitted the desirability of the merger which was con-
summated by the General Assembly on _]anuary 11, 1952.
The new Disarmament Commission is set up "under the
Security Council." Like each of its two predecessors it normally
has a membership of 12-onc for each member of the Security
Council plus Canada. It was instructed to become operative
within 30 da!"i7i:"I'lie chairmanship is to rotate each mouth
among its members. Instructed to submit its rst report not
later than _]une 1, l9$2, the Commission is required to make
detailed studies and to prepare plans and treaties. Moreover,
when the Commission's work progresses to a point where any
part of its program is ready to be submitted, the Secretary
General is requested to convene a disarmament conference.
The eyes of an armament-burdened world will be hopefully
fucussed on the new Commission as it attempts to set the
stage for further agreement.
Banning the Bomb All nations favor the banning of atomic
weapons and other means of mass de-
struction of civil life. Ali nations also approve the necessary
corollary of the proposed ban--an international system of
14

l
icontrol designed to ensure faithful compliance with it. Appar-
ently, all parties agree that sooner or later the-ban should
prohibit national states and private parties from using, pos-
sessing and mimufartrtriug atomic and other weapons of r:..i.ss
destruction.
However, differences exist over the type of controls re-
quired nd OW! "timing" of the program. Nevertheless, the
fact remains that there appears to be agreement on the desir-
ability of banning atomic weapons.
Regulating Conventional Arms Another general 311:] qf
agreement between the
nations is that conventional armaments and ~
should be regulated, limited and reduced. At one time con-
troversy arose as to what conventional arms and armed forces
should include. There is now substantial agreement that these
categories should include a! all armaments not classied as
weapons of mass destruction, b! military, naval and air bases,
and c! armed forces of all types including para-military,
security and police forces. -
However, two principal obstacles to further agreement
have been encountered. One is the dispute over whether a
census of armaments should include atomic we;ip;;n§_ Tl;
other is the contiiiuiiig disagreement as to whether the reduc-
tional in conventional arms should be "progressive and balanced"
or by a flat percentage.
Concerning the first, the United States, with a monopoly
of atomic weapons, wanted no census until a "foolproof" plan
of control had been agreed upon and put into operation. The
Soviets, on the other hand, without atomic weapons at the time
Ills: dispute arose, demanded that the Commission for Conven-
tional Armaments conduct a census that would include both
types of armament. The rlmerican view prevailed, and the
stalemate already mentioned continued. The United States,
in proposing the merger of the two old commissions, has agreed
to a census of atomic weapons, provided less secret weapons
have rst been disclosed and veried. It is now agqreed, there-
fore, that the census should include weapons of all types, pro-
vided the "stages" problem can be , lend,
As to the second obstacle, Soviet spokesmen have insisted
I
I5
92
n
-e/"'92_}upon a flat reduction, within one year, of a suggested one»third
of all conventional arms and armed forces. To a war-weary,
armament-burdened world this is a highly attractive proposal.
If both blocs were equally strong in all weapons and armed
forces, :1 one-third reduction would not change the ratio.
However, western spokesmen claim that the Soviet Union pos-
sesses a superiority in conventional arms and armed forces and
that, if both sides now disarmed by one-third and if the atom
bomb were banished entirely, the West would be seriously
weakened and the unbalance would invite aggression. Soviet
spokesmen deny this alleged superiority in conventional arms
and assert, therefore, that a one-third reduction would affect
all parties equally.
As a counter-proposal western spokesmen urge progressive
and balanced reduction of conventional arms and armed forces,
in such a way as to keep power in equilibrium at a reduced level
of armament. Soviet spokesmen claim this would only delay
disarmament, prolong tension and threat of war, invite endless
haggling over criteria and quotas, and in fact lead to an in-
crease of armament in some nations. At the moment, no sign
of agreement on this thorny problem has appeared. We have
indicated on pages 35-36 a possible basis for con-
Establishing the Control Orgdn All parties agree that the
proposed disarmament
treaties should establish one or more international control
organs "within the framework of the Security Council." The
organization and powers of the control organ and its relation-
ship to United Nations agencies would be prescribed and
dened in the prospective treaties. Staff personnel would be
international and responsible directly to the control organiza-
tion. The control organ would establish its own rules and
decide day-to-day questions by majority vote. Moreover, all
parties agree that the control organ should be permitted to
carry on atomic research, though there is lack of agreement
on the ltind and scope of such research. Soviet spokesmen
desire that national laboratories be permitted to catty on atomic
research concurrently with the laboratories under the interna-
tional control organ. American spokesmen prefer that national
l6 .research be licensed by the control organ which would have
exclusive power to engage in research involving dangerous
facilities or matters relating to military application.! All agree
that the control organ should maintain strict international
control, but 3 difference of opinion eitists as to the best rriethods
of doing so.
Ownership and Munagemenl Even when atomic weapons
of Atomic Facilities are banned, uranium mines,
atomic plants and labora-
tories, reactors, stockpiles of ssionable materials and like re-
sources would rernain in existence, and provision must be made
to deal with them. It is agreed that permissible facilities of this
nature would be used only for peaceful purposes, but measures
must be taken to prevent their diversion to forbidden uses.
As already pointed out, the American plan would estab-
lish an international atomic development authority with power
to hold, manage, license and otherwise control the world's
dangerous atomic facilities, materials and stockpiles. 9292'/hat
is "dangerous" and non-dangerous" has been fairly well de-
ned. The former includes stockpiles of uranium, reactors,
nnrl 'F1ilirine {rt -.~,lm-i-in.-. J-' i'T;!z't IT_'nr .....~I ...1'..llbhl Al492.|llll-|92a»J nun ptuuuctiui. tn, LJ 4.3;, 92_| "U .92]9292] Piu-
tonium. Items like the following would probably be classied
as non-da.ngerousore mines, reneries, radioactive materials
for use in scientic, medical and technological studies, and
small quantities of ssionable material for experimental uses.
As a principle rather than a concrete part of any formally pro-
posed and elaborated plan, the United States recommended the
dispersal oi facilities and stockpiles around the world in :1
"strategic balance, so that if any were seized by one national
government, other national governments would have more
facilities for atomic production than the treaty violator. The
proposed authority would also establish production quotas,
operate laboratories, discover and verify relevant data, and
conduct inspections continuously.
For this "plan" which is far from complete in several
crucial details! much has been claimed. As manager of atomic
facilities, the international authority would be more likely to
keep abreast of technological developments. As proprietor of the
facilities, the authority could operate with less friction and dan-

Iger of molestation, and a technically more able personnel could
be hired. Anything less than this, proponents of the plan have
claimed, would be unsafe and lack the nec-'.'SS:1ry i00lp100f"
guarantees against illegal diversion of ssionable m11E0riIll5-
Underlying the -plan when it was formulated was the
assumption that atomic energy would soon be used on a large
scale for the production of electric power. If this developinent
did not take place, and the ban on atomic weapons went into
cect, the proposed international authority would actually have
little to manage. Six years have passed and this large scale
atomic power industry is not yet in sight. To this extent, at
least, the plan is rather hypothetical and perhaps unrealistic.
The Atomic Energy Commissions Subcommittee 2 rst
stated in 1946 that all other stages could be controlled by in-
spection but atomic plants should be actually rrlanngetl by the
control agency. Later, spoltesnteu ior the Soviet Union bee-mw
inexibly opposed to the ownership and manctgeinent feature.
To their view the international authority would be dominated
by the "Anglo-American bloc. They maintain that it would
restrict the development of atomic energy for peaceful pur-
poses, and would lnvttelc national sovereignty contrary to the
United Nations Charter. ]."in:.lily, they insisted that it was un-
necessary to go this far to ClLlllC92c effective control. ln view of
these objections, soviet spoltcsnicn proposed :1 plan of their o92=:P|;1,.-. - - I I ~ I _ ' _ _ _calling for national ownership and management or perlntsstmc
atomic facilities subject to "strict" international control.
A majority of the United Nations approved what were
essentially the American proposals at the I948 Asseinbly, and
henceforth they became l-tno-.t'n as the Majority Plan. Neitlier
side would budge froin its position on atomic energy control.
However, at Paris 2 western tri-partite resolution sidesteppcd
a head-on discussion of the impasse. That resolution adopted

report, after detailed study before the Baruch plan was known,
accepting the principle of national rather than intcrmtional

published a parnphlet expressing a preference for i11Icrn:tti0u:ll
ownership but stating that a settlement for national owner-
ship under strict control was better than a continuation of the
impasse. A nurnber of books and articles, written by competent
students and observers, have called for reconsideration of rim
Majority 1"l.1n. On December 1, 1951, the London Times
expressed itself editorially on the Majority Plan: "This utopian
proposal would in pi-actice be as tlirlicult for the United States

Inspection of Armaments That inspection is an essential
fL;1lLll'L' of any practicable pl-H1
for disarmament is admitted by all. Spokesman for both Ameri-
can and Soviet blocs have agreed on this from the start. The
problem is not whether there should be inspection, but rather
what shall be its nature, frequency and scope.
The United Nations Majority Plan provided that an inter-
national authority should carry on inspection of atomic facili-
ties-concurrently with the exercise of its managerial functions.
Under this plan, atomic armaments of the nations would be
policed by the managerial stall of the international authority
with the aid of a corps of stationary and roving inspectors.
However, the exact relationship between the atomic inspection
procedures of the international authority and inspection for
control of conventional arms has never been discussed.
This plan of inspection was rejected by Soviet spokesmen
as a part of the international management plan for the control
of atomic facilities, because they thought that it invaded sov-
ereignty and interfered unnecessarily with domestic affairs.
Instead, they preferred national ownership of atomic facilities
subject to inspections, both "periodic" {as frequently as the
control agency decided! and "special" {whenever charges of
violatioris were submitted!. Because of the suspicions that exist
and the closed character of the Soviet state, it has been
questioned whether these types of inspection would provide
adequate protection.
Before 1948 it was agreed that a majority decision by the
control organ would be binding on all, with no right of veto.
Later. additional agreement was reached that the control organ
should decide the times and places of inspection. Finally, at
Paris during the winter of I951-S2, Mr. Andrei Vyshinslti
modied Soviet proposals to agree that inspection should be
"permanent" and on a continuing basis, providing it did
not interfere in the domestic affairs of states."
In clarifying these modications, Mr. V yshinslti explained
that he accepted permanent inspection on a continuing basis"
in the sense that once it began it would not end, but not in the
' .sense that it would proceed from international ownership or
that inspectors mi_i;ht be stationed §92i_rn1,9211;~n|_iy M 1-Y p0;nU_
He also declared once more that inspection Of 3[{_92n]iQ me;-gy
establishments would include ! auditing of accounts,
! Clicchiiig stucltpilrs of atoinic raw n92;tteri.ils and semi-
_lmiahcd products, ! checking whether regulations govern-
ing technological control were respected, ! requesting data
on the production of atomic energy, S! collecting informa-
tion on atomic products, and ! carrying out inspections,
should the regulation on the prohibition of atomic weapons
be broken. 92i/hen as]-zed what was meant when he said the
control organ should not be entitled to interfere in this dqm¢5_
tic affairs of states, Mr. Vyshinski explained that this mgsm;
exactly the same as Article 2, Paragraph 7' of ch; Uniecd
Nations Charter, which reads:
Nothing contained in the present Charter shall au-
thorize the United Nations to intervene in matter;
which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction
of any state or shall require the Members to submit
such matters to settlement under the present Charter-. . . _ _ _ _ 'but this principle shall not preiuchce the application
_ of enforcement measures under Chapter VII,
5P°l¢$m¢r1 for the American bloc have not expressed
themselves fully on Mr. Vyshinskis "clarifications." As long
as they insist on international ownership, {he govict pjm Wm
be unacceptable. However, if they should concede national
ownership, Mr. Vyshinsl<.is proposals might serve as a starting
point for the elaboration of an adequate system hosed an
inspection rather than international ownership and manage-
rnent of atomic facilities. It should be noted, however, that
limits on the range of inspection perhaps are rnore important
than its periodicity.
The solution of these basic differences appeared so
more hopeful in the discussions at the 19Si Paris Aa5dl11
conventional arms and armed forces. Soviet spokesmen indi_
eated willingness to accept permanent inspection on a con-
tinuing basis for conventional armaments and armed forces,
as well as for atomic facilities. This concession leaves little
substance to their insistence on restricting the SCQpc of atomic
i 21l
l
l---4.4-. ../'92.,
Jinspection to "declared" facilities. If this type of inspection were
adequate for the discovery and inspection of all bases, forces,
installations, productive facilities, materials and supplies relating
to conventional arms and armed forces, it is difficult to imagine
how clandestine atomic production could evade detection.
Establishing a Schedule Having at rst a monopoly and
for Arms Reduction later presumably a clear superior-
ity in atomic weapons, the United
States advanced plans intended to allow itself ireedom to use,
possess, and continue manufacturing atomic materials and
weapons until a "foolproof" Control system is in operation.
This policy would involve a procedure beginning with a census
of armaments and armed forces, disclosing rst the least sensi-
tive and gradually the more sensitive data, followed by careful
verication by international inspectors. Finally, with atomic
and other weapons disclosed and veried and a control organ
successfully in operation, the ban on atomic weapons would
go into effect.
Soviet spokesmen, replying to this "safe" approach, have
variously accused the United States of "stalling," of playing :1
trick, of demanding the impossible, of wanting the Soviet
Union to surrender the strategic advantages of the iron cur-
tain" without any guarantee that atomic secrets would ulti-
mately be disclosed or atomic weapons banned, and of hiding
a determination to control world events behind platitudes. The
Soviet Union has vigorously demarnleti that atomic weapons be
banned immediately and unconditionally. Then later or simul-
taneously it would have the United Nations establish the con-
trols necessary to ensure compliance with the ban.
Spolsesmen of the western powers have accused the Soviet
Union of insisting on the ban rst only because it would
weaken the 92Vest, lc.1VC the Soviet Union relatively stronger,
and facilitate Russian expansion. If prohibition were rst pro-
claimed, it is claimed that western nations would be left with-
out guarantees that the Soviet Union would ever agree to the
types of control and cooperation required to insure compli-
ance and condence.
This controversy was somewhat claried and modied
during the recent session of the General Assembly. American
22
rIspoliesnnen-without yielding their basic demand for a slow,
cautious and "sate" appro.1cl1indtcated lor the rst time a
willingness to disclose atomic armaments in a census and have
them veried. Announcing this, Secretary of State Dem
Acheson said:
I wish to stress and say as vigorously as I can that
the proposals of the United States do include in stages
disclosure and verication of atomic armarnents. That
again is a change in the position of the United States.
Betore, we had taken the position that there could be
no disclosure until the wltole system of control had
been set up. 9292'-'e are now changing our position and
we are changing 1E in the hope that that change may
enable the United Nations . . . to make progress,
Successful progress, toward a reduction in armaments,
the prohibition of atomic weapons and the disclosure
and verication of all armaments of all sorts.
The Secretary went on to emphasize that insistence upon pro-
ceeding by stages was not a tricl-t, as Soviet spokesmen had
alleged, and that
. . . progression from one stage to another should be
an administrative matter within the control of the
commission controlling and administering the dis-
armament agreement. In other words, it should not
be a political decision to be made by states with re-
servc power in the states to malte that decision. But,
the agreement should be Contained in the document
itself that when the commission is satised that a stage -
has been successfully completed, tltcn as an adminis-
trative decision the commission should proceed to the
nest step. That, perhaps in part, would meet the
dilliculty which has been suggested.
The United States indicated an even more e '=
non in Secretary Acheson; statement that there were two
ways in which the new commission might proceed- 1! estab-
lish a system of disclosure and verication rst, to be followed
by limitation of armaments generally and prohibition of atomic
weapons; or ! to do all of this at one time." It is signi-
23
.f"'92cant that the Secretary added that either-one oi these ways
would be wholly agreeable to the United States.
One should note, however, that Secretary Acheson tlicl
not thereby abandon the idea of proceeding with actual dis-
armament by slow stages. His remarks referred to commission
procedure, and meant that the United States is willing to discuss
simultaneously all aspects of the problem while maintaining
that actual implemcntafiors of decisions should proceed cau-
tiously by stages.
The Soviet Union also cla l-.cd its view on one aspect of
the problem of stages, at the Sixth General Assembly. Whereas
itinirially demanded an immediate and unconditional ban on
atomic weapons and reduction of conventional arms with
controls applied after the ban, Mr. Vyshinski on january 12,
I952 stated that the atomic weapon should be prohibited and
strict international control put into effect simulranc-ously and
without delay. If the Assembly would proclaim at once the
principle of prohibiting atomic arms and establishing controls,
he claimed, international tensions would be reduced and the
atmosphere cleansed of atomic war propaganda, even though
the ban would have no legal efiect until control machinery
began to function. That the Soviet Union has allirmed its
acceptance of simultaneity in principle is an indication that
compromise may be possible. A possible solution to these dif-
ferences is suggested on pages 34-3 S.

of safeguards has been central. There has been general agree-

In addition, Mr. Bernard Baruch, acting upon his own
initiative but with the assent of Secretary of State Byrnes, in-
jetted the notion that the veto should be waived in the Security
Council when considering the application of sanctions diplo-
matie, econoinic, nancial, and military! against an offending
nation.

workable and desirable proposals. In consequence, the respec-
t_ive plans have become stereotypes for which gallant defenders
stand ever ready to do forensic battle. This may gratify par-
ticipants and perhaps serve certain limited propaganda objec-
tives, but it has created an atmosphere uncongenial to reason-
able negotiation and agreement.
Believing that social problems rarely lend themselves to
one and only one solution, we would bear in mind that there
are many possible alternatives in any given eld of control.
The following proposals are thus not intended as a orie-anCl-
only plan, but rather as suggestions that may help loosen the
rigidity of conicting stereotypes and move the nations a bit
closer toward agreement. - -
PRINCIPLES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Discussion of det:iils invariably is simplied if there is prior
agreement on underlying principles. 9292'/e are, of course, aware
that some governments may hold for complete agreement on
broad principles before being willing to talk about concrete
details. But it must also be remembered that sometimes prin-
ciples become clearer or can be more acceptably stated through
discussions of specic factors. Nevertheless, we believe the
following principles and assumptions provide a basis for dis-
cussing detailed plans.
]. Ariiianiciiis are both 4 s_1,-mplom aiiii :1 coiitrilaiitiiig
cause of inferiiafioiial tensions. Their very existence is evidence
of distrust and suspicion and a cause of additional anxiety.
The great expansion of a suspicion-breeding secrecy on both
sides of the Iron Curtain during and since World War II has
1.6created additional uncertainty and insecurity. In a dilemma
where suspicion breeds armaments and armaments augment
suspicion, successful negotiation at any point may help'l>teali.
the vicious circle. In the world of 1952 an agreement in Korea
or Germany would certainly liclp the disarmament discussions,
but the reverse of this would also be true. This being the case,
real progress toward peace requires new efforts to reduce arma-
ments drastically without delay.
2. Mzilmil coiiccssioiis are reqiiirrri for any acceptable
and iizoidtalile pliiii for drasfjt anus rcdiiciioii. Any such plan
must begin with a recognition of the rights, interests and pre-
vailing attitudes of all parties. Agreement cannot be expected
on terms that require substantially greater concessions from one
power bloc than from another. Agreement will also require
willingness to change from positions heretofore taken. In the
present context this means reciprocal concessions by propo-
nents of both the United States and the Soviet Union proposals.
3. Fiirfber e.92jJai:si0ii of ariiis proiiiicfioii siiioiriri cease.
This step, important at all levels of the arms reduction pro-
gram, is the basic preliminary for a drastic reduction of arma-
ments and a mutual expression of good faith.
4. Wmpoiis of ?i'!£i'SS dcsfi-iirfioir s/Joiilil be lmriiieil. lf
world-wide fear and insecurity are to be overcome, stockpiles
of the basic ingredients of such weapons atomic, bacterio-
logical, and other types! should be limited, under strict and
eective international control, to peaceful purposes only.
Ollicial statements indicate a general desire to ban certain
to-be-dened mass death-tlealing weapons. We would like to
sec the list made as inclusive as possible.
S. C0iit'cin.i0iiiil arms I/Jtmliil be rt'diic'i"J ilrasiirally. The
more drastic the cutback of arms and armed forces, the lcsi
dilcult will it be to establisli equivalents among tl.C powers
by which a balance can be maintained at all times. Mere "pro-
gressive limitation and gradual reduction of arms will invite
delaying and stalling tactics by governments and affected inter-
est groups. But a general agreement to reduce the levels of
armament drastically and as soon as equivalents can be estab-
lished would make such delaying tactics considerably less likely.

~by "drastic" we mean the reduction of arms and armed forces
to levels required for domestic police purposes.
6. All type! Of trxeapons, arms irtstalltiorzi and rrrmezll
forces should be subject to a single incliisivc system of interna-
iiomtl inspection and control. To us it appears futile to reduce
navies without also cutting aircraft and land forces, or to ban
weapons of mass destruction without also controlling conven-
tional arms. The threat posed by armaments to the peace,
security and economic well-being of the nations of the world
lies not in particular classes of weapons, but in total ghting
potential.
7. Adequate safcgmzrds against either evasion: or open
1/iolafionr anus! be provided by the control plan. This does
not mean that the plan must necessarily be foolproof in the
absolute meaning of that term. Some rislts must undoubtedly
be accepted, but under an adequate plan these would be mini-
rnal compared to present risks in the absence of any controls.
8. All nations wilb srrbsfruzfial rriililary jroleulial should
participale in the planning and esfalalislaincni of rm interna-
tional arms redurlion program. Application of this principle
will require some arrangement whereby Germany, Japan, Italy,
the Chinese Peoples Republic and other nations-not now
members of the United Nations-can be brought into the
discussions and agreements.
9. Disdrwfiirzcrrf ogrrcrizerlls should be rregoliafcrll wi!/Jir:
lilac frmm11#0r]t of {be Urliterl Nafions, and I/Jr m'r.css:|ry COR-
lrol organ s/aould opt-rare wit/Jin I/at some framework. This
does not mean that two or more nations ought not to discuss
armaments any time they choose, or that single nations should
not pursue a policy of unilateral disarmament for economic
relief and to clear the air of suspicion in its relations with other
nations. But it does mean that the United Nations may prop-
erly take the initiative and keep insisting that the search for
agrcement be continued and that the system of control operate
undernits auspices.
19. Disarmament can begin at once. Drastic reduction
and permane.-. national control of national ar als will,
we believe, make e world both safer and less tense than at
25present. It is unnecessary, therefore, to await implementation
of the collective measures provisions of the United Nations
Charter, as some have suggested, before starting to disarm. Nor
is it necessary to construct a world super-government with a
monopoly of force, as others suggest, bclore beginning drastic
reduction of armaments. With mass death-dealing weapons
banned, with other weapons drastically reduced, and with a
world-wide control organ in successful operation, the con-
dence generated and experience gained should Contribute greatly
toward the peaceful evolution oi a stronger world government.
PROPOSALS
Next Steps The plan of procedure agreed upon at Paris
during the winter of 1951-52 when the General
Assembly establislicd the new Disarmament Commission out~
lined the following steps: ! The Disarmament Com-
mission is to prepare plans and draft treaties designed to accom-
plish the objective of disarmament; ! when the Disarma-
ment Commission deems it advisable, a disarmament conference
is to be called to discuss and conclude the proposed treaty or
treaties; ! the signed treaties would then be submitted for
ratication to participating, states in accordance with their
respective constitutional pruC¢ssCS; ! r;1ticatior1- would in
turn be followed by United Nations action toward putting
the treaties into effect and actual operation.
The Control Organ To administer and execute the Commit-
mcnts made in the treaties, it will he
necessary to establish, within the framework of the Security
Fkuncil, an international control organ. Under this oice an
international inspcctorate should be stalled with expert and
impartial personnel drawn from many countries but account-
able only to the control organ. The inspectoratc should inter-
change its personnel as often as possible, and it should be given
authority to inspect armaments, armed forces and all support-
ing facilities and installations. This proposal appears to be
acceptable to all parties.
Banning the Bomb All parties agree in principle to an
eventual ban on the use, possession and

l,-Q.-a .. -production of the atom bomb and other weapons of mass
destruction, and the use of ssionable materials for peaceful
purposes only. The problem of timing is undecided; -this is
discussed below under Schedule of Arms Reduction."
Ownership 8. Management Under the circumstances pre-
of Atomic Fucililies viously described, it would
seem wise to abandon the idea
of international ownership and management of the wotldlsto hold, manage, license and inspect would have all the prob-
lems of a non-owning control organ plus countless more, many
of which would contain seeds of discord.
The United States has been the chief proponent of inter-
national ownership of atomic facilities, and adoption of the
above proposal would require her to yield this point. To do
so promptly, we believe, would contribute more to reaching
agreement on the total problem of disarmament than any
other concession the
"dangerous" atomic facilities, except, perhaps, as the Carnegie
Endowment committee has suggested, where nations may elect
to place their atomic industries under international trust.
Future production be ' "ed to quotas dened in
appropriate treaties, with the understanding that permissible
production would be subject to the strictest possible accounting
and inspection. Unlimited non-military research using minor
quantities of nuclear fuel would be permitted in national and
international laboratories with the understanding that interna-
tional labotatory staffs will include representatives of interested
countries, and that all national laboratories will be subject to
continuing and thorough inspection.
5polsesmen for the West may object that adoption of these
proposals would permit diversion of nuclear fuels and clan-
destine activity in sulcicnt amounts to give strategic advan-
tage to an offending nation. That this is a conceivable danger
must be admittigid. Its prevention will depend upon the scale
of production of ssionable material permitted, the competence
of the control organ and its staff, the design of the facilities,
the accounting system, and inspection. Given the will to do so,
we believe sufficient technical and scientific kn = w can be
found to devise the type of administrative organization and
controls required to insure competence, responsibility, relia-
bility, and dependable indices of compliance. If the control
organ is given adequate authority and its staff are competent
and impartial, we fail to see how it matters whether they
operate as ofcers of the control organ or as agents of a TVA-
like supra-national authority.
International ownership might conceivably make the task
of inspecting authorized atomic installations a bit easier. But
an atomic colossus standing astride the world with authority
so 'to make. _
Existing Slocltpiles of The existence of large stockpiles of
Fissionuble Mulerinls ssionabie materials presents a new
problem of disarmament planning.
Though potentially valuable at some future time for atomic
power, these materials need only be placed in atomic bomb
cases to render a "peaceful" stockpile a tremendous arsenal for
war. Moreover, the bomb cases can easily be concealed, and
their secret fabrication, though ditlicult, would be hard to
detect. Huge facilities have been built to rene uranium ore
and to convert it into ssionables. If each nation keeps control
of the atnbiguously peaceful output of these plants, the temp-
tation to keep building up these stockpiles will remain._
Vesting the international control organ with legal title to
these stockpiles and facilities does not solve this problem if the

balance," the solution proposed in the United Nations Majority
Plan, Seem practicable any longer. This principle would have
distributed atomic stockpiles and dangerous facilities among
the nations so that, if one nation wrongfully seized the stock-
piles and facilities inside its boundaries, the other nations could
legally take over theirs and so promptly nullify any military
gain to the wrong-deer. But the "balance" this plan requires
would be meaningful today only if it 92ve1'e achieved between4

pository under multi-national guards neutral territory, say,
in Eastern Greenland. Under such ii plan attempts at seizure
could countered by measures rendering the deposited m;ir¢;i;]
inaccessible except after very protracted recovery operations.
The problem of what to do with existing stockpiles is un-
qucstionably a diicult 0nebut not as difcult as the problem
of producing an atomic bomb. .
Inspeclion Fortunately, the decision to unite both nomii;
and wnventiorial weapons in a system of controlshas considerably claried and eased the problem of inspection,
The nations should agree on permanent international inspec-
tion on a continuing basis of both atomic and conventional
armaments, armed forces and all supporting facilities concur-
rently. This assumes there would be a permanent corps of
trained impartial inspectors attaclied and responsible to the
control organ for inspection service anywhere in the world,
The inspectoratc should be given freedom, within limits dened
by the control organ, to inspect anything at any time and any
place. The minute the control plan goes into effect, inspectors
would proceed to prepared stations where some of them could
l'¬II7:;lii1 continuously as observers but without managerial
authority!, others could begin checking declared data, and
still others could begin a systematic survey intend! to disclose
32and verify all important data bearing directly upon a i-iations
military potential. It seems unnecessary to grant to the inspec-
torate such powers as are not appropri:ite.or'css.enti:il to effec-
tive inspection. Problems such as whether aerial photography
should be permitted which caused Russia to ballt in 1947!
are not likely to prove diflicult under a control plan which
extends to all armaments, since military secrecy would no
longer be maintain-able.
inspection would be "permanent" and "Continuous" i.n
the sense that it would be in progress at all tirrics with inspec-
tors assigned at all times to some critical spots, such as the
locations of atomic reactors and stockpiles. After the rst
inventory is corriple fl, the nutri of inspectors could per-
haps be reduced, but with a guarantee that cnougli would be
on hand to observe critical spots continuously, to check indicts
of related nancial, economic and military activities, to process
data submitted by governmental agencies, and to make special
investigations on suspicion or complaint. Normal diplomatic
and consular establishments and national intelligence services
could lodge complaints and, as a further precaution, the ow
of imports and exports could be monitored.
The United States has insisted on "permanent" and con-
tinuous inspcctiori, but as an addition to ii plan for iiitei-na~
tional ownership and management of atomic production
facilities. The Soviet Union has not objected thus far to per-
manent and continuous inspection of conventional armament,
armed forces and facilities. The two nations, therefore, may
not be as far apart on this point as they liave sometimes ap-
peared, except for the ownership principle. Oiir proposal would
urge the United States to continue enipliasizing the need for
inspection of anything the control organ decides, at any time
and any place, but would require her to yield the point of inter-
national ownership and management. From the Soviet Union
our proposal would require a willingness to permit the contin-
Uing observation of critical spots and freedom to inspect any-
thing the control organ decides, at any time and any place.

Retaining the veto in the Security Council might admit-
tedly prevent that body from taking collective measures
against a violator. However, this would not prevent the 1991;-
cation oi collective measures against .1 violator under an ad bot:
coalition oi powers. Moreover, realization of the awful con-
sequences of the collapse of the control system would certainly
not be without effect on would-be violators. Veto or no veto,
the collapse of the control system would immediately result,
if negotiation failed, in a renewal of the arms race and the
threat of war.
As indicated earlier, there is Suicicnt evidence that the
United States has dropped its insistence on waiver of the veto,
hence agreement on this point appears possible.
Schedule of Arms Reduction We would suggest the follow-
ing schedule: Stage I: imme-
diately tepudiating the use but not vet the production and
possession! of atomic and other weapons of mass destruction;
and simultaneously establishing the control organ and inaugu-
rating the disclosure and verication of armament data. The
same agreement could stipulate that the ban on the use of
atomic weapons will terminate any time the control organ

Stage 2: A standstill agreement, negotiated as quickly as 905-
sibic, which would halt the arms race and permit armament
production only for replacement. Stage 3: The determination
of limits and quotas which will govern both the drastic reduc-
tion of conventional arms and armed forces and also the dis-
posal of existing stockpiles and future production of tissionable
materials, the object being to guarantee that in the process of

4reducing arms no nation or bloc of nations would gain sub-
Stantial strategic advantage. Sfu_i;v 4: A complete ban on atomic
and other weapons of mass destruction, including production
and possession of them; disposal of existing stockpiles of ssion-
;1>],-e 4nd the imposition of production quotas; and rapid mova-
ment toward drastic reduction of conventional arms, armed
forces and facilities. This nal stage should be put into efiect
not later than two years after the rst stage goes into ctlect.
These proposals would go part of the way toward meet-
ing the Soviet Unions demands by granting a ban on the use
of atomic weapons for an interim period with assurances that
the ban would be extended to possession and production if
the control organ functioned properly and without interfer-
ence. This arrangement would provide a test of sincerity and
reveal the data necessary to determine balanced and equiva-
lent rcductions. It would also fix target dates which would,
in turn, discourage stalling, and it might get disarmament dis-
cussions off dead center. '
As mattcrs now stand, the Soviet Union has agreed to
simultaneous banning of atomic weapons, instituting controls,
and reducing conventional arms and armed forces by onc-
third. The United States insists on proceeding cautiously from
disclosure and verication to the uutlawry of atomic weapons
and the balanced reduction of conventional arms and armed
forces. Adoption of our proposal would require concessions
by both blocs.
Criteria for Arms Reduction All factors considered, it ap-
pears necessary to reach agree-
ment on a principle of progressive limitation and balanced
reduction of conventional arms, facilities and armed forces,
provided the reduction would be drastic. Substantial reduc-
tion in most can.-gories should be made during the rst year
the agrcement calling for reduction is in operation.
The United States has suggested that two criteria be used
in calculating limits and quotas--population for armed
forces! and gross national product for military budgets!.
Other factors could also be used. But care must be taken that
no factor is made use of for the strategic advantage of any
nation or bloc -of nations. For example, if active and reserve
35
»-Ix
wL¢=q~-rorces were limited to two per cent of each nation: l9$0
population, and each nation's military budget were restricted
to ve per cent of the 1910 gross national product, the per-
centages would probably work to the advantage of the United
States by xing the size of its military force and budget near
to what it wants and can support. Nations with larger popu-
lations but less national product might be deprived of their
population advantage by inability to support a larger army
on its percentage of national product. However, we believe
that careful study can produce a formula which will assure
genuine armament control rather than national advantage. It
is important to bear in mind that there is a large variety of
factors applicable to the problem of establishing fair criteria.
Establishing a system of equivalent and balanced reduc-
tion is admittedly dillicult. Uniform statistical terms and
processes would have to be developed and applied to all nations,
base years would have to be agreed upon, squabbling over fair
and just quotas might prove disruptive, and deciding what
allowances should be made for colonies, allies and satellites
would be highly complicated. On the other hand, any proposal
less than immediate total disarmament or llat limitations and
reductions-neithcr of which appears to be able to win gen-
eral acceptance-will encounter similar difficulties. If the rc-
tluctions are so gradual that major powers remain capable of
waging large-scale war, the importance of cquivalcnccs in arms
reduction will remain great. If, however, the cutbacks are
drastic, the problem of equivalence: tends to lose some of its
signicance and much of its diiculty.
The United States has urged progressive limitation and
balanced reduction of armaments, and has suggested the cri-
teria used in this .lisC.ussi0!n. However, by proposing, in the
Disarmament Commission on June 28, 1952 specic troop
quotas of I,$O0,000 men for Russia, China, and the United
States, 800,000 men for France, 700,000 men for Great Britain,
and smaller forces for other nations, American representatives
indicated a willingness to move toward drastic reduction of
present levels without quibialing about detailed formulae. The
Soviet Union, on the other hand, has urged a flat reduction of
one-third the rst year, and, to our knowledge, has proposed
no criteria or formula to be followed thereafter. Adoption of
36our proposal would require greater C<.mCCu5iDn5 from the Soviet
Union.
The Proposals Summarized The proposals outlined above
are based on repudiation of the
use of weapons of nl..l>S destruction, bringing the arms race
to a standstill, establishing inclusive controls, and, as soon as
possible, drastically reducing all military potential. It calls for
the following: ! preparing plans and draft treaties by the
new Disarmament Commission; ! calling one or more dis-
armament conferences; ! Concluding and ratifying one or
more disarmament treaties; ! establishing a control organ
within the frameworl-: of the Security Council; S! repudiat-
ing the use of atomic and other weapons of mass destruction,
with the assurance that the ban will be extended to the pos-
session and manufacture of such weapons, and guaranteeing
that ssionable materials will be used for peaceful purposes
only; ! establishing strict international control of dangerous
atomic facilities owned by individual nations, and abandoning
the plan for international ownership and management;
! adopting a plan for "denaturing" ssionable materials or
placing them in an international depository so as to render
seizure and use of them for war purposes extremely dillicult
and costly, and abandoning the concept of "strategic balance";
8! establishing permanent and continuing inspection of all
armaments, armed forces and military potential and facilities;
9! permitting the control organ to mal-re decisions by major-
ity vote, though abandoning the suggestion that the veto be
waived in the Security Council's deliberations on applying
sanctions; 0! establisliing a specic schedule with target
dates for each stage; II! pI'O5rt':SSl92-Ely limiting and reducing
conventional armaments, facilities and armed forces, using
criteria carefully selected so that in the process no nation or
bloc of nations gains in strategic military advantage.

CONCURRENT STEPS
TOWARD P EFUL
IT Is generally recognized that disarmament alone cannot
create and maintain friendly and peaceful relations among
nations. Disarmament is merely one evidence and implementa-
tion of a commitment to live at peace, a component part of
the whole establishment of a dynamic peace based on continu-
ous negotiation, the reasonable settlement of political disputes,
utuzl aid among nations. So hztve indeed o ~.pha-
sized the interdependence of these factors to the point of
insisting that disarmament Cannot be attempted until mutual
condence and a willingness to settle tlillercnces by reasonable
negotiation have been established. We rmly believe, however,
that progress must be made on each of these fronts concur-
rently as the American Friends Service Committee has main-
tained in its two previous pamphlets bearing on current inter-
national relations!. In a highly Complicated and rapidly chang-
ing world the peace we all desire requires a progression of
steps on various fronts at the same time.
