DISARMAMENT
THE Soviet decision to bow of the United
Tout
Nations Disarmament Com- mission and its sub-com- mittee is final, according to the Foreign Minister, Mr Androi Gromyko. It is the most perious blow to the prospects of any agreement on disarmament since the discussione began shortly after the war.
The Russians have proposed the abolition of the present sotup and that a new com mission composed of delega- tions from all 82-member States of the United Nations be formed.

be prevented from taking part in the search for an agreement.
This may sound all right until It is realised how it would work out in practice. In 1982 the General Assembly of the United Nations came to the conclusion that tho problems involved in trying to work out an agreement were far too complicated and technical to be handled by so wide a forum as the United Nations. It was therefore decided to appoint a special commission com posed of the 11 representa. tives of the Security Council plus Canada.
TOO LARGE

WO years later it was agreed that this body was still too large for effective negotiation and also that better progress was likely to be made if negotiations could be con- ducted in private rather that in public sessions of the Commission.
