DISARMAMENT - FOUR-POWER PAPER | |
|
Repeat NATO Paris, Paris, Permis New York, Washington, Bonn, Brussels, Geneva, Hague, Rome (Information). By Bag Belgrade, Canberra, Copenhagen, Moscow, Oslo, Stockholm, Delhi, Wellington, Tokyo from London. The Four-Power proposals89 were tabled in the Sub-Committee today with accompanied statements by the three other Western delegates and myself. In what he called a preliminary comment on the paper Zorin described it as offering nothing of genuine value and went on to condemn individual parts of the proposals. His speech seemed to amount to a total rejection of the paper. When asked by Moch whether it constituted rejection by the USSR government, Zorin made no direct reply. When further asked whether he would have any other comment to make on the proposals after referring the text to his government, he again avoided a direct reply, but the implication of his answer seemed to be completely negative. Thus, while there may remain some possibility that further comment will be received from the USSR government, the outlook does not seem very promising. The Sub-Committee meet on Tuesday September 3. Meanwhile Stassen is leaving tonight for his son's wedding in the USA and according to the press for consultations with Washington. It is obvious that in the event that Zorin's statement constitutes the complete rejection which it certainly appears to be, we shall have to consider the whole question of the continued session of the Sub-Committee. 2. I shall be sending you tomorrow a fuller account of today's meeting. C.S.A. RITCHIE 89 le texte officiel des
