enforcement concept based on spot checks in the territories of the great powers The detailed 35 Page treaty draft was submitted to the 17 nation disarmament conference by us Ambassador Arthur Dean Dean said the new plan was based on the principle that the nations of the world should seize moment in tithe to stop the arms race to freeze the mil itary situation as it then ap pears and to shrink it to zero always keeping the relative mil itary positions of the parties as near as possible to what it was at the beginning instead of starting lse dip armament process with an in ventory of national military es tablishments which the Rus slans have always rejected as espionagethe new US plan called for spot checks in se lected areas USE SAMPLE METHOD These new checks would be conducted on the sampling tech nique developed by big indus trial corporations The military forces and installation in any sample area would give inter national inspectors picture of the total Soviet delegate

into which the territory of the big nations Mould be divided Each side would be free to choose any single district or the other without advance warning PROVIDES CHECK From the arms and armed forces found in the chosen dis triCI mathematidans would project an estimate of each states total military strength This would provide alcheck of governments declarations of their military strength on which the percentage reductions are to be based It would also con stitute verification that each state was meeting its disarma ment obligations Unlike the Soviet plan for to tat disarmament within four
