Western draft treaty to halt nuclear spread faces Soviet veto
The United States presented a Western draft at the 17 nation disarmament conference in Geneva to halt nuclear weapon spread. Soviet delegate Semyon Tsarapkin rejected the draft, reiterating that Moscow will not sign if the NATO nuclear force plan or any similar arrangement including West Germany proceeds. The draft mirrors Britain’s initial proposal, with American amendments, and centers on prohibiting transfers and aiding non nuclear states in weapon manufacture while preventing expansion of states with nuclear capabilities.
