UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE EIGHT MAY 20,1947 Gromyko Seeks Public Ban For Atom Bomb New York.—(UP)—Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko of Russia went to the American public today with an appeal for the United States to speed the outlawing of atomic bombs and all other weapons of mass destruction, including germ warfare. He warned that although the United States still led in atomic developments, any thought of a monopoly "is an illusion," and that some day the United States might find itself lagging behind other countries in "certain dangerous kinds of weapons." Mr. Gromyko, Soviet delegate to the United Nations, broadcast the warning at a meeting last night of the American-Russian institute. It was the first time that he has made such a direct attempt to explain Soviet policies to Americans. 'Need Atom Treaty' He stressed the theme that the big powers should join immediately in a treaty outlawing atomic and all other mass destruction weapons. This would require the United States to destroy its atomic bombs without waiting for creation of international inspection machinery. The United States and Great Britain have insisted that they can not reveal atomic secrets, or lay down their conventional weapons until U. N. sets up a system for policing the world for treaty violations. Agreement Not Close Mr. Gromyko made these points which showed that a final agreement was not close: One. Russia can not accept American proposals for unharmed international inspection to enforce disownment treaties. The U. S. plan, he said, would give the inspectors too much authority to snoop in a country's economic life. Three. One country's use of atomic energy for military purposes forces other countries to follow suit, and cause rivalries. Two. Russia can not accept the American plan for an international atomic agency to manage all atomic activities. Four. Maintenance of conventional munitions, navies, and air forces also to develop the international confidence which Anglo-American make it more difficult for nations gates have said were necessary pre-requisites to real disarmament.
