McCloy uses frontier analogy to chase disarmament fraud

Washington NEA analysis by John J. McCloy, head of the U S Disarmament Administration, argues that Khrushchev’s call for general and complete disarmament is a fraud. He cites historic gun control in frontier towns and warns that without a strong, effective police presence a peaceful society cannot exist. He notes talks between Stevenson and Gromyko, the push for a larger disarmament commission, and the risk of a bigger, unwieldy process that could empower neutrals aligned with the Communists. The piece frames this as more than propaganda, urging concrete action to prevent nuclear risk and ease global tension.
