ban. They are intent on estab-
lishing overwhelming nuclear
superiority. This explains
their putting forward of pro-
posals completely unaccept-
able to the Soviet Union. By
their action in renewing tests,
the U.S. is pushing the world
towards an unrestricted nu-
clear arms race.

Expressing the Soviet Un-
ion’s stand Premier Krush-
chev said the U.S. proposed
treaty could only be under-
stood as a “‘wish to plant in
our. country espionage nests
of spies under the guise of
international controllers .. .
In order to choose the mo-
ment to attack the Soviet
Union.”

At the Geneva disarma-
ment talks the eight neutral
nations, united in their oppo-
sition to the tests, introduced
a plan for an international
monitoring network based on
existing national networks. of

U.S. President Kennedy Tuesday gave the go-ahead order for
a new series of nuclear tests at Christmas Island despite world
wide protest and appeals from neutral and socialist countries to

observation posts, which the
plan’s sponsors say “already
include in their scientific en-
deavors .the detection and
identification of man-made
explosions.” ,

Under the plan, informa-
tion collected would be pro-
cessed by “an international
committee of a limited num-
ber ‘of highly qualified scien-
tists, possibly from non-align-
ed countries.” The U.S. and
Britain expressed annoyance
that it did not include on-site
inspection.

Although the Diefenbaker
government has found it im-
possible to give its blessing
to the U.S. tests, and spokes-
men of the government have
been critical of the new tests,
its attitude in apologizing for
the U.S. action, is in sharp
contrast to its strong denun-
ciation of the Soviet tests a
few months ago.
