UN Opens New Arms Curb Drive
United States Chief U.S. Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge told the UN that disarmament and world peace require a change of mind by Soviet leaders. He urged concrete steps toward arms reductions once major political issues between the Soviet Union and the free world are settled and security is established. He said progress hinges on an end to the Iron Curtain and improved transparency of Soviet actions. The remarks opened a Western push for renewed UN Disarmament Commission talks to achieve world agreements next year on arms reductions.
