“People talk about the escalation of the arms race, but |

what we really face is a brand new arms race, especially an

measures,” said Condoleezza Rice, assistant- director of Stanford University’s Centre for International Security, and’

"Arms Control.

“The militarization of space seams to be the next frontier | for them (the superpowers). Those systems will be very,

“very difficult to dismantle later,”

Rice-said in a Vancouver Institute lecture Saturday that the likelihood of a breakthrough in the current arms talks staiernate is complicated by the recent leadership change : -in the Soviet Union and the U. 5. presidential.race, *STt is eapecially no time to get tHinga dotte when .Rotiald Reagan ‘is ‘running for president; ‘and’ in aly ‘mind, the" . ‘Soviets would just as soon not hand him any - vietories: to take on ‘the election trail with him,’ Rice gaid,:

. Butshe said arms: control id possible, because “the fear of

annihilation hangs over their (the superpowers") heads.’

' Rice said what is needed are U.S, and Soviet leaders who have “political will” and consistent foreign policies to make arms.control & perm anent objective of national security meagures. The superpowers can start by making clits in the number af missiles such as the Soviet Union's: land-based

system and the U.S.’s MX missiles, which are scheduled to -

be deployed in 1986, Rice added.

World opinion is another factor that moves, the super-

powers towards peace, she said.
