Lodge Accuses the Soviet Union
Of Advocating "Paper Disarmament”
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. Wednes
day accused the Soviet Union of
advocating “paper disarma
ment." He said the Soviet pro
posals are “hypocritical" and the
United States will not take part
in them.
This was the answer of the
chief U. S. delegate in the UN
Assembly's political committee
to a 10.000 word speech by V. V.
Kuznetsov, first deputy foreign
minister of the Soviet Union, op
ening the long-awaited disarma
ment debate here.
Kuznetsov put forward the So
viet position on disarmament
voiced by Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov at the Geneva foreign
ministers conference and reject
ed by the West. The gist of thl3
is for disarmament to take ef
fect immediately without first
setting up controls and inspec
tion.

The Soviet delegate also called
for the liquidation of U.S. bases

on foreign soil. He said the West
ern approach to disarmament
“cannot produce positive re
sults.” The West wants inspec
tions and controls to be operat
ing before disarmament by
stages takes effect.
Kuznetsov also rejected once
more President Eisenhower's
“open sky” inspection plan un
less it is made part of a general
disarmament program. Lodge
and other American delegates
have said the President's plan
for a mutual exchange of aerial
inspection with Russia is the
gateway to disarmament.
Agreement Held Unlikely
The uncompromising stands
taken by Lodge and Kuznetsov
at the start of this discussion
boded ill for later agreement and
indicated the 9-year stalemate on
disarmament in the UN will con
tinue.
Lodge's ire was aroused when
he read a statement in the Eng
lish translation of Kuznetsov's
text that "the United States and
other Western powers oppose the
reduction of armaments and the
prohibition of atomic weapons.”
Lodge replied the United
States has pledged energetically
to seek and work for a “compre
hensive, balanced, progressive
and enforceable program for the
reduction and limitation of all
arms, armaments and armed
forces, under effective interna
tional control and inspection.”
Says Russia Hesitant

He said the Soviet Union rail
ed for the elimination of atomic
stocks as an immediate objec
tive.
“It would commit all states to
a series of measures vitally af
fecting their national security
without providing the means of
inspection and control to see that
what is promised is actually per
formed.’1 Lodge suid. “Now, Mr.
Chairman, the only word we can
find for that is that it is ‘paper’
disarmament. We think that it
is dangerous. We think it is hyp
ocritical. And we will not lend
ourselves to it."
Answering Kuznetsov on U. S.
bases. Lodge said they are mu
tual defense bases brought into
being by Soviet policies and ac
tions. Kuznetsov replied that the
establishment of bases “whose
guns are pointed at other sLates,"
did not promote peace.
A running battle of words in
volving Stevenson, ilarriman and
Williams has turned attention on
thr visit of the three. Stevenson
touched it off two weeks ago
with a plea for moderation next
year.
Williams and Ilarriman im

WASHINGTON '.F Govern

labor affairs say there bus been
a notable increase in labor vio
lence this year. They add that it
is still a comparative rarity.
More instances of beatings,
shootings, property damage and
picket line disturbances seem to
have flared tip in 1955 than in
several years gone by.
Nobody keeps any statistics
on labor violence but, officials
estimate, it happens in only a
small fraction of collective bar

mates that employers and unions
maintain about 125,000 separate
contracts.

French Cabinet
Ousts Assembly;
Plans Elections
PA HIS t* The French cabi
net decided Wednesday night to
dissolve th<- National A-senibly
and hold new elections.
At this stage. Premier Edgar
Fame appeared to have turned a
seeming defeat into victory. He
has been campaigning hII along
for early elections, but the devi
ous approach to them was a sur
prise even in French politics.
Tuesday the Assembly gave
Faure a vote of no-confidence,
usually the signal for the gov
ernment's immediate resignation.
Hut the size of the Assembly
vote against him brought into
play an obscure constitutional
provision permitting the cabinet
to order dissolution
The unprecedented decision
was announced Wednesday night
following a 3'-.-hour cabinet ses
sion ut the Ely see Palace, the
Flench white house. No date was
given for the elections, but they
must come between 20 and 30
duys after the dissolution order
is handed down.
Faiire told newsmen later this
constitutional time limit raises
problems. If the order is handed
down Immediately the voting
would come during the Christ
mas vacation perhaps on
Christmas Day.
There was some speculation
that publication of the dissolu
tion decree will ire delayed so the
voting can be held Jan. 8, the
first Sunday after the holiduys.
Tlie French traditionally hold
their elections on Sunday.
