ARMS CONTROL: The Soviet proposal for a five-
power nuclear isarmament conference is meeting with
a cool reception among non-nuclear powers.
Representatives of non-nuclear states at the
current session of the Conference of the Committee
on Disarmament (CCD) in Geneva have expressed doubt
that the five-power talks will ever take place.
They have cautioned that nuclear disarmament should
not become the exclusive concern of members of the
"nuclear club." They claim to be worried that in
such a case other countries might then have an addi-
tional incentive to acquire nuclear weapons to gain
entrance to the club.
The Japanese, West GE.rmans, Italians, and Egyp-
tians have all noted that such a conference could
seriously detract from the work of the CCD. A num-
ber of countries have also stressed that the ques-
tion of a comprehensive nuclear test ban should re-
main in the CCD's bailiwick.
Of the five prospective conferees, the British,
skeptical from the beginning, say that there are no
particularly promising topics to talk about in such
a forum. The French are standing on their early
favorable reaction, but along with everyone else,
Paris anticipates a negative response from Peking.
The Soviets have begun proselyting among the non-
nuclear powers, such as Canada, India, and Japan.
Chou En-tai commented negatively on Moscow's pro-
posal in June. Subsequently he has remarked that
Peking believes that non-nuclear nations favor a
Chinese proposal--originally advanced in rnid-1963--
for a meeting of all heads of state to agree on the
abolition and destruction of nuclear weapons.
