Arms Control - USSR: The Soviets are continu-
ing to press the US for a prompt agreement on terms
of the treaty limiting the use of the seabeds for
military purposes.
Lm___O~scow took exception to only a few points in
the new US draft, but there is still a difference of
opinion on the extent of the zone in which a party
to the treaty would have freedom of action. The
Soviets have stated that they are ready to present
the text of the treaty to the Geneva disarmament
participants at the earliest possible moment. The
Geneva conferees have shown increasing dissatisfac-
tion and impatience during the course of the bilat-
eral negotiations, and time is growing short for
adequate consultations in Geneva b fore the UN Gen-
eral Assembly tackles the subject.
Meanwhile, the NATO members have reiterated
their concern regarding the treaty at a meeting of
Alliance disarmament experts. The Belgian represen-
tative made the most comprehensive objections to the
US draft, and Ottawa's representative stated that
the American text does not meet Canadian security
requirements. Despite the wide range of expressed
objections, the NATO members will probably take a
more positive attitude when confronted with US-USSR
agreement on a completed text for a draft treaty.
