Errol E. Harris, professor of philosophy, last night expressed little hope for world disarmament.
Prof. Harris, in the latest in his series of lectures on the "Philosophy of War and Peace" said the argument that disarmament is a means toward peace must be reversed.
"THE PRINCIPAL CAUSES of the arms race are international tensions, mutual fears, and suspicions among nations," he said.
"The circle is a vicious one," Prof. Harris said. "Uncertainties excite fears which impel governments to arm themselves and increases in armaments excite tensions which lead to greater fears and more feverish competition in arms."
There is no international superpower capable of enforcing the observance of treaties and no state can afford to trust solely the honesty and good will of other nations, he said.
The quest for disarmament, in turn, leads to another vicious circle which causes the failure of disarmament negotiations, he said.
But the aim of the treaty is the limitation or abolition of the means by which a treaty is safeguarded. This is the explanation of the failure of disarmament conferences, Prof. Harris said.
Inspection gives no assurances to the signatory nations that the treaty is being enforced, Prof. Harris said.
"International inspection of armaments would publicize everything that a nation most jealously strives to keep secret, and upon the secrecy of which the maintenance of its power depends." Prof. Harris said.
Neither would anything be gained if inspection were agreed to, he continued.
"If other nations failed to honor it, even if inspection discovered the fact, or if they agreed to inspection and then later refused to admit inspectors, the nation which had disarmed and allowed inspection would be at their mercy," he said.
Alliances do not provide the kind
of security which makes disarmament possible because alliances depend on the collective power of the allies and on the maintenance of their armed forces, he said.
Collective security cannot work because the aggressor is often hard to define and identify, and the aggressor usually has a group of allies which supports its cause. Prof. Harris said.
Disarmament agreements are impossible to reach until international order has been established.
In his next lecture, Prof. Harris will discuss the moral issue and nonviolence.
