Test ban;
no checks
By NEA/London Economist News Service
Leonid Brezhnev and Andrei Gromyko, hardly pausing for
breath after their strenuous bout of salesmanship at the Euro
pean security conference, have resumed business this week un
der the sign that reads “disarmament.” At the United Nations
assembly session that began last week, the Russians are trying to
focus world attention on their new draft of a treaty that would,
ostensibly, prohibit all testing of nuclear weapons.
Sounds familiar? Yes, indeed. Back in the 1950 s the idea of such
a treaty had already, and very understandably, become inter
nationally popular. Nikita Khrushchev went to the point of in
viting the world to join Russia in disarming completely — on con
dition that nobody should be able to find out whether Russia had
actually disarmed. The lengthy negotiations that were then un
dertaken ran up against the solid wall of Soviet rejection of any
process of verification.
In 1963 Krushchev and President Kennedy settled for a partial
test-ban treaty, renouncing above-ground explosions which,
because of the windborne radio-activity they cause, can hardly be
confused with natural tremors on the world's seismographs. That
treaty, literally, cleared the air. China and France rejected it,
but their test explosions did not foul the atmosphere as much as
the bigger Russian and American ones had done. Below ground,
Russia and America continued to bang away, undeterred by the
ritual appeals for them to stop.
Economist Commentary
In July, 1974, Brezhnev and President Nixon responded to those
appeals to the extent of agreeing that after March, 1976, their two
countries would limit the size of their underground blasts to 150
kilotons. This “threshold treaty” has found little international
favor. A 150-kiloton explosion is six times as powerful as the one
that destroyed Hiroshima. The only argument for agreeing on a
threshold is related to the hoary old verification problem. Scien
tists may differ about the practicability of seismographic iden
tification of all underground nuclear blasts, but the bigger the
blasts the more certainly they can be distinguished.
The need for a threshold limitation, and the most difficult
obstacle to the adoption of a comprehensive test-ban treaty, would
be removed if the Russians would agree that there should be
some realistic provision for verification. But the draft treaty that
Gromyko is now offering shows that the Russians are still
paranoiacally opposed to even the most modest and unintrusive
forms of on-site inspection.
A comprehensive ban, with proper verification, would not only
curb the two superpowers’ arms race but would also help to in
hibit China and France from further testing — and the numerous
near-nuclear powers from joining the nuclear club.
Another great hole in the new Soviet ploy is its bland unconcern
about one of the trickiest aspects of the problem of halting
nuclear proliferation. Among the merits of the 1968 non
proliferation treaty (NPT) was the fact that it took account of the
hard truth that any state capable of staging “peaceful” nuclear
explosions has a nuclear weapons capability.
Non-nuclear adherents to that treaty have specifically renounc
ed the right to set off “peaceful” blasts like the one staged last
year by India — and the ones eagerly envisaged by Brazil. In
sharp contrast, adherents to Gromyko’s treaty would specifical y
In backing away from the position they took when they were
calling for general acceptance of the NPT, the Russians are not
merely SSX 10 please India and Braz.l and other.such
nuclear aspirants. Since the threshold treaty was signed last
year, the Americans have been disturbed to find the Russians in
sisting in the course of talks about implementation of the treaty,
that they should be free to go on setting off nuclear blasts well in
excess of the 150-kiloton limit so long as these were proclaimed to
be “peaceful” explosions. So any country that accepted
Gromyko’s new treaty in good faith, and honestly complied both
with it and with the NPT, might have to go on hearing distant
rumbles from Russia which, even if the seismographs showed
conclusively that they were not natural tremors, could be ex
plained away as mere peaceful nuclear bangs. ,
Which suggests that Brezhnev s interpretation of, and
enthusiasm for, “complete prohibition” may have something m
common with Al Capone’s.

Bad habit
BAD HABIT for a good cause is acquired by a special patient
at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San An
tonio. He is one of seven baboons puffing between 20 and 40
cigarettes a day in a study of arteriosclerosis. The baboons,
who prefer to knock off the ashes and eat the cigarettes, are
monitored for changes in lung functions, blood fats and blood
pressure.
