Position Of U.K.

Defined

Lake Success, N.Y., Dec. 4.

The Soviet Government favour adopting the de- cision regarding a general reduction of arma- ments and the prohibition of atomic weapons by the Security Council," said Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, when he announced Rus- sian support (with reservations) of the Ameri- can disarmament plan at today's meeting of the United Nation's Political Committee. Sir Hartley Shawcross (Britain) told the meeting that "there is no kind of equivocation about the position of the United Kingdom...the great desire of the United Kingdom delegation is to ensure that some really effective scheme is brought into operation rapidly." He describ- ed pious or platitudinous proposals and called for a concrete plan.
