What this proposal by Prof. Sohn appears to do is meet the two major fears of the two great powers suf- ficiently to make it possible for them to make a start on arms reduction. The United States.makes sure, in in- creasingly larger regions of the USSR, that there will be no cheating in this zone-by-zone inspection, and the USSR does not surrender its great-military asset, the secrecy of location of its striking force, except bit by bit.

It also starts with the limited area of strategic delivery vehicles as

PARIS REPORT From Patrick Nicholson

Groping-Towards An Atlantic Community

PARIS, FRANCE — Citizen delegates from the nations of the North Atlantic Alliance | have been gathered. here for what was named “The Conven- | tion of the One Hundred.” After two weeks of deliberation, we is- sued “The Declaration of Paris,” setting out our ‘convic- tion that ‘‘our survival as free men demands the creation of a | true Atlantic Community within | the next decade.”

To attain this end, the Conven- tion recommended various steps, of which the most ‘significant would be the creation of a per- manent. High Council of Minis- ters, and an Atlantit Assembly. | These two new political organs |

There must, concedes The Gazette, be sound planning for the

’s security. But the—only—de—

All this is in line with Article 11 of the North Atlantic Treaty, provid-

ing for development of what other- wise might remain a military alliance

into a community of peaceable co- - operating free nations. Progress in |

this direction, however slow and hesitant, is to be welcomed. ~~

New Arms Control Plan

Of all the problems facing the - world today, that of drafting a work- able arms inspection plan is perhaps the most urgent and most important. . It is also the most formidable, due to

two basic fears. One is the fear of |

_ the Western powers that the Soviets will cheat on any. agreement. that

The other is the

One possible solution to this im
