Stassen Sees Russia Ok on the Arms Plan at U.N
Stassen said at the United Nations sessions in New York that Russia has been asking intelligent questions about the Eisenhower armament plan. He believes governments worldwide study the plan seriously, viewing it as a gateway to reductions in armaments and lasting world peace. He noted global belief that Eisenhower meant it when proposing an international atomic pool for peaceful use and that Geneva talks bolster disarmament prospects. He urged patience, cautioning against discouragement over Soviet timing, and suggested an alternative plan if needed may be unnecessary. He expects U.N. General Assembly action perhaps by mid December after the Geneva Four conference. He found no conflict between Eisenhower’s plan and Eden’s Geneva proposal, seeing them advancing toward the same goal.
