we have also been talking in geneva about our first that measures of arms controls, designed to limit the intensity of the arms race and reduce the risk of accidental war. our primary long-range interests in geneva, however, is general and complete disarmament, designed to take place by stages, permitting parallel political developments to fill the new institutions of peace, which would take the place of arms. the pursuit of disarmament has been an effort of this government since the 1920's. it has been urgently sought by the past three administrations. and however dim the prospects are today, we intend to continue this effort to continue it in order that all countries, including our own, can better grasp what the problems in the possibilities of disarmament are. the only major area of these negotiations where the end is in sight, yet where a fresh start is badly needed, is in a treaty to outline nuclear tests. the conclusion of such a treaty, so near and yet so far, would check the spiraling arms race in one of its most dangerous areas. it would place the nuclear powers in a position
