Eisenhower Pessimistic Over Chances Of Reaching Agreement
By Paul Scott Rankine
Washington, Feb. 23.
President Eisenhower took a pessimistic line at his Press conference today regarding the chances of the United Nations disarmament conference in London reaching agreement on general or atomic arms,
But he laid down some basic principles for the con- ference between representatives of the Western and Soviet powers opening on Friday,
One was that there must be ways and means of determining that cach principal nation is acting in good faith.
Another was that the dia- #malment problem should be approached as a whole.
