CONTROL OF ATOMIC ENERGY
Sir,-On Page 7 of your April 9 issue you outline the essentials of the Baruch and Soviet proposals for the control of atomic energy. It may be thought from your account that whereas the Baruch proposal did not envisage the use of the veto, the Soviet proposal, in so far as the inspection agency was to work within the framework of the Security Council, did envisage the use of the veto. This would be an incorrect conclusion. As long ago as 1947 the. Soviet made it clear that once agreement was reached to ban the use of atomic weapons they would agree to inspection at any time and that such inspection could not be subject to the veto. The following is an extract from a speech at UN by Vyshinsky on November 23, 1949. In an earlier part of this speech he referred to the fact that two years previously the Soviet had taken the same attitude: "We wish to make it clear that periodic inspection means inspection at intervals-not at set intervals but as determined by necessity whenever the international control commission deems it necessary. It is obvious that there would be no unanimity rule, no veto. To put an end to slander and insinuations we make it quite clear that decisions would be by a. majority of votes." ; :
