NEEDS TIME ON DISARMAMENT Exhaustive Look At Jap anese, German Peace Treaties Necessary LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y„ Jan. 17. (U.R) —United States represents- ' ‘Ives will need several . more | months of study before discussing; .disarmament details. American sources reported tonight. j And before the United Stater j agrees to disarm, it will want a! good hard look at the completed j peace treaties’for Germany and Japan. The outcome of the Ameri-. can request for sole control over j the formerly Japanese mandated islands in the Pacific also may af fect disarmament talks, American .circles, said. i . The United States has asked the United States Security .council to delay debate over disarmament procedure until Feb. 4. At that time,, however, the. Unite* States will have no new proposals—-not even on procedure. American: representatives have devoted all- of their energies to working out a program for inter national- control of atomic energy, and ‘will continue to ask that the Security council make “some pro gress” on this program before plunging into the broader field of general disarmament. Light On Russia They.sdid they-would be satis fied now With merely an informal paragraph-by-paragraph considera tion of the program to see where Russia stands. Russia and Poland declined to discuss the proposals while they were being debated in the UN atomic ' energy commis sion.- - . American representatives ton ceded they were ‘ left at the post when Russia proposed immediate preparation of a general, disarma ment program. And the United States, it was said, can not begin to catch up until incoming Secre tary George C. Marshall assumes office and -studies the . issues. Marshall, as' a former Army chief of-staff, is sure to have ideas of his own. The Security ' council will vote Monday on the American proposal to delay discussion of disarmament procedure until Feb. 4.
