Russia at Geneva arms talks amid Soviet stance
Geneva May 12 Soviet Russia was central to the arms traffic conference as Poland proposed a border country clause requiring Soviet binding. Russia refused attendance, saying the talks meddled in domestic affairs. The US delegation urged full public release of arms shipment statistics and favored withholding exporter names to protect competitors. The conference adopted a rule to issue a document confirming exporting government consent to sales and noted shipments could go to provinces or cities with central approval to avoid arming foes. The Polish amendment tied Russia’s status to disarmament and security concerns in the wider discussion.
