HONOLULU, July 17 - Secretaryr of
State George P. Shultz renewed ctitl-
dsm of New Zealand today, aocusitrg it
of undermining the United States nu
clear deterrent and weakening its vwn
security.
He referred to New Zealand's refYSal
in February to allow as American war-
ship to make a port call on the ground
that the vessel might be carrying nu-
dear weapons.
"If New Zealand's objective was to
enhance apedtic security and reduce
the audear danger, it has acted against
its own interests," Mr. Shultz said in a
speech at the Fast-west Center an the
campus of the University of Hawaii.
He spoke at the end of a two-week
tour that took him to Southeast Asia,
Australia sad the South Padflc.
"By adding a new element of risk
landuocer't~aiaakty~ said, "New Zea-
regional stabWty,
one of the most important links in the
effort to prevent nudear war. And the
erosion of Western unity ady weakerrs
the western position and the chances
for success in arms control,"
Mr. Shultz said such actions played
into the hands of the Soviet Union.
"We cannot allow the enemies of our.
way of life to attack each ally one by
one in the hope that we wW be divided
wad thus incapable of a coordinated ne-
spon~e," he said.
.'Our differeaobs with New Zealand
are specific and immediate," he said.
"Yet they raise the most basic quee-
tiaosabout alliatrceaand about aWaaoe
bdlitia in the modern world.,.
e said the goal of the aWaaces de-
veloped by the united states -...im
Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Aus-
tralia, New Zealand. the PhWppiaea,
South Korea. Thailand and Israel -
was "to deter aggression against the
aWaace partners and pt+eserve the
peace. particularly against threats
from the Soviet Union arrd its praades."
He said that being awes meant not
~Y to Dome to one another's
aid in a war t also working together
to insure the capadty to win a war.
these crific~xs, r he sai~ d'others will
wonder why they should carry their
share of the burden. The r~esuit may be
the gradual erasion dpopular commit-
ment to the common cause,"
He called an governments to "lead
aM educate their peoples.. on the ~~es-
tlon of maintainitrg alliaacea.
"A prindpal Soviet aim Uu+oughout
the postwar period has bees to divide
the alliance,.. he said. "Instead of pur-
suin8 arms negotiations seriously in
the quest for an equal wad stable strate-
gic balance, the Soviets have often
tried to develop aM exploit diftereacee
among the allies, leaving us to negotl-
ate among ourselves while they sit
'back a~ wait for unilateral concea-
sions that they need not reciprvcafe. ?,
Mr. Shultz also called for unity
among the allies oa the issue of the
American program to develop a specs
based missile de'ense; on combatting
terrorism and natnotlcs smuggling,
whidr he said were linked, and on eco-
nomic matters, where he said proterr
tioniam "ia destructive for all of us. ?'

how the UNted Suter could take pre-
emptive actions against terrorists
Mr. ShShultz it~was ?a t ate,
question of
what jeopardizes people most -action
or lack of action. ?'
He said the United States "is not
about to engage in nay sort of pose as
