Cyrus Vance heads home
without agreement
By KENNETH J. FREED
Associated Press Writer
BONN, West Germany (AP)
* - Secretary of State Cyrus R.
Vance started home from Mos
cow today expressing hope for
, an agreement eventually to re
duce the Soviet and American
nuclear arsenals despite his
failure to get negotiations start-
* ed during his visit to the Soviet
capital.
Vance flew to Bonn to confer
* with Chancellor Helmut
Schmidt and brief him on his
fruitless five-day attempt to
break the deadlock over a new
* Strategic Arms Limitations
Treaty (SALT). He was spend
ing the night in London and vis-
* iting Paris Friday for similar
talks with British and French
officials.
* Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezh
nev on Wednesday rejected two
alternative American propos
als, but Vance and Soviet For-
* eign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko agreed to meet again
in May.
* “In my judgment this has
been a useful visit,’’ Vance told
reporters at the Moscow air
port. “Our objective was not a
* simple one. Reaching agree
ment on arms control measures
can’t be accomplished over-
, night.
“In the meantime, I’m sure
that both sides will study the
t matter which we discussed and
will find that their objectives
are similar.”
t More failure awaited Vance
in Bonn, where West German
Chancellor Helmut Schmidt on
Wednesday night rejected the
* Carter administration’s urging
that it modify its nuclear deal
with Brazil and do more to
stimulate the West German
* economy as an aid to inter
national economic recovery.
Schmidt told a news confer
, ence West Germany’s sale of a
$4.8-billion nuclear installation
to Brazil would be “one of the
most important topics” in his
* talks with Vance. He reaffirmed
his determination not to bow to
the U.S. demand that the sale of
a reprocessing plant that could
* make fuel for nuclear weapons
be excluded from the deal.

U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance gestures during a
news conference in Moscow, Wednesday at which he said
that Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev had rejected
American proposals for a nuclear arms control
agreement. Vance said Brenzhev “examined our two
proposals and did not find either acceptable.” (AP)
has known since last year ...
that we are determined to abide
by contractual agreements,”
Schmidt said.
Schmidt also reiterated that
West Germany has done its
share to spur international eco
nomic recovery, despite insist
ence by President Carter’s ad
visers that it and Japan can do
more.
President Carter told report
ers in Washington he would
consider a step-up in U.S.
weapons development if the So
viets do not negotiate “in good
faith” when Vance and
Gromyko meet in May.
Vance proposed negotiations
on one of two treaties:
—An interim pact putting into
effect the numerical limit of 2,-
400 long-range missiles and
bombers for each country
agreed to by President Ford
and Brezhnev at Vladivostok in
1974 but deferring negotiations
for controls on the American
cruise missile and the Soviet
Backfire bomber.
—A comprehensive treaty to
reduce the number of missiles
and bombers substantially be
low Vladivostok levels, cut the
total of multiple warheads, ban
the development and deploy
ment of new strategic weapons
and the means of delivering
them and restrict the use of the
cruise missile and the Backfire
bomber.

Human rights issue
‘Balance morality with reality’
ATLANTA (AP) - The Brit
ish ambassador to the United
States cautioned western na
tions Wednesday to “balance
morality with reality” as they
promote human rights in the
Soviet Union and South Africa.
Speaking to an Atlanta civic
group, Sir Peter Ramsbotham,
said, “We must fight racialism
wherever it exists so that men
are recognized not by the color
of their skin, but by their in
trinsic human value.”
But, he said, “We have to
balance morality with reality,
and I think this is your Presi
dent’s policy, too.”
President Carter, Ramsbo
tham said, “has been bold in
stating his wide objectives —
rightly. And he will be cautious
but firm in his pursuit of them
— rightly.”
However, he said, “We must
not be so aroused by the bold
ness that we misunderstand
the need for caution.. .We be
lieve that, with time and pa
tience, peaceful change is pos
sible.”
Ramsbotham, who has served
as Britain’s chief diplomat in
Washington since 1974, said ma
jority rule in Rhodesia and
South Africa should be imple
mented through policies that
will avoid bloodshed and eco
nomic problems, even if such
policies take longer.
“The instability caused by too
rough a shaking of the status
quo may be more harmful for
those we are trying to help than
the status quo itself.”
In a speech to newspaper edi-
— Griffin Daily News Thursday, March 31,1977
tors earlier Wednesday, Ram
sbotham said he is optimistic
about Great Britain’s economic
recovery.
