Shevardnadze urges N-test ban

By RON JOHNSON
UNITED NATIONS — The Soviet
Union last week called on the United States
to join it in halting all nuclear tests. The
USSR had unilaterally maintained such a
ban for 18 months, but ended its testing
moratorium early in 1987 after the Reagan

administration refused to join it.
Addressing the United Nations General
Assembly here, Soviet Foreign Minister
Eduard Shevardnadze said the nuclear test

ban should include both above and under-
ground tests.

On conventional forces, he said: “Our
ultimate goal is not to have a single Soviet
soldier outside our country.” Shevardnadze
condemned the continued encirclement of
the Soviet Union by U.S. troops, bases and
submarines.

He welcomed President George Bush’s
proposals to cut chemical weapons and
called for even deeper cuts and renunciation
of the use of such weapons under any cir-
cumstances. Shevardnadze said the Soviets
will eliminate all of their chemical weapons
if the U.S. will do the same, regardless of
what other nations with chemical weapons
do.

While saying that the agreement to holda.

Gorbachev-Bush summit next year demon-
strates that “we have moved far ahead” in
working on major problems, Shevardnadze
added that “the world community has no
reason for the complacency or euphoria” in
the struggle for world peace because the
nuclear threat has only been reduced, not
eliminated.

While several nuclear arms control
agreement could be worked out by the time
of the summit, Shevardnadze said it would
still take “extraordinary” efforts by Gorba-
chev and Bush to achieve a 50 per cent
reduction in space and long range nuclear
weapons systems.

He also called for a meeting of represen-
tatives of nations with nuclear weapons and
countries which base nuclear weapons as
part of the process of reducing and then
eliminating all nuclear weapons.

Shevardnadze announced that the Soviet
Union has already halted production of
“enriched uranium” needed for nuclear
weapons. He said that by the year 2000 all
reactors which use such materials will be out
of operation.

“The Soviet Union calls for open land,
open seas and open space,”’ Shevardnadze
said, taking Bush’s proposals on open sky
and open land further, to the frontiers of the
seas. and outer space.

Shevardnadze also called for heads of
state or government to attend the 1992 UN
Conference on the Environment.

His far-reaching speech also condemned
international drug trafficking and terror-
ism. Shevardnadze said that “violence by a

state against its own people must be totally
excluded” and at the same time that “‘free-
dom must not be sought at the expense of
others.” He added that “not all means are
good” in achieving freedom, and “freedom
does not mean irresponsibility to others.”
While conceding that the Soviet Union is
distressed with the new Polish coalition
government, Shevardnadze added: “We see
nothing threatening in the fact” that this is
what the Polish people decided. “We wish it
every success,” he said. “Tolerance is the
norm of civilized human behaviour.”
Then the Soviet foreign minister posed
the question: “Why are others intolerant of

Cuba?” The assemblage here broke into’

loud applause when he added: ‘Why
should the possibility of the head of a West-
ern government being a Communist be
considered as heresy? That shouldn’t be
excluded.”

Shevardnadze’s speech came a day after
President Bush addressed the General
Assembly, concentrating on chemical wea-
pons, the global economy and the environ-
ment.

Bush received both praise and criticism
for his speech. Eugene Carroll, deputy
director the Centre for Defence Informa-
tion, said that the U.S. and Soviets have the

_ clout to win a chemical weapons ban.

Senate Armed Services chair Sam Nunn

_ Said the Bush proposal on a chemical wea-

pons ban was positive, but that congress
was “‘going to move in that direction any-

way.
