PAGE TWO-C Senator Sam J. Ervin Says WASHINGTON The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which the Senate consented to ratify on March 13 seems to me to .have been over-sold to the American people. Perhaps this is because many of our citizens believe that this treaty represents a genuine ■step toward world peace. {Closer examination of the {treaty reveals that this is an incomplete treaty and represents more hope than effectiveness in dealing •with the problem involved, i My study of the treaty ■reveals that our nation has •far more to lose by the {treaty than it has to gain from it. After much de liberation, I voted against its ratification. • I did so even though I would welcome effective regulation of nuclear wea pons. The truth is, how ever, that this treaty does not guarantee that nuclear weapons will be reduced, or that the present non nuclear powers will not in Make Sure You Are Registered So You Can Vote For Henry G.

The absence of a single safeguard in this treaty by which our na tion can determine wheth er other nations have vio lated the treaty renders the stated purpose of the treaty, i. e., to prevent the production of nuclear wea pons by the present non nuclear powers, ineffective. Without operative safe guards, I do not see how you can have a meaning ful treaty. A more serious objection to the treaty is the fact that the United States, as a nuclear power, has agreed to furnish nuclear power for peaceful purposes to non-nuclear nations which sign the treaty. Actually, what this does is to com mit the United States to furnish nuclear power to every non - nuclear signa tory nation. There are only three nuclear powers who favor the treaty—the United States, Russia and Great Britain. Britain is THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDEMTON. MONTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, APRIL 3. IMS. • in no position to finance ’ nuclear aid to other na c tions. Russia is unlikely - to do so. So this means - that the United States is - incurring another obliga i tion that could damage our ! economy and burden our ! taxpayers. There is al - ways the possibility, too, that in giving nuclear aid . for peaceful purposes to a non-nuclear power that we ’ shall give sufficient infor ■ mation to develop “the bomb” also. Secretary of j State Rusk testified in hearings that it is very easy to convert the peace -1 ful know-how of nuclear 1 usage to weaponry, and ' this will raise some seri ' ous problems when we are called upon to fulfill this pledge. The most serious objec tion, I think, is the danger that this treaty will be in terpreted by non - nuclear signatories as a pledge that the United States will assume the role of “world policeman” at the very time when we are seeking to extricate ourselves from the policies that brought us into the Vietnam war. This obligation arises from impressions given to the signatory nations during pre liminary negotiations over the treaty, including a statement made by our representative to the Unit ed Nations that is subject ito the interpretation that • we will come to the aid of any non-nuclear treaty na tion confronted with nu clear attack. It has been said that such statements by our leaders are not binding, but we are in war today in Vietnam for less authorization. I regret that the amend ments to the treaty which I offered in the Senate in the form of a “reservation” and an "understanding" were not accepted. This treaty, in my judgment, incurs obligations that I do not think our nation is prepared to assume. CHRIST AROSE! By MARY LIZZIE LANE When Jesus’ life was about to an end He had a supper for his disciples then I must go to be with my Father now. But I’ll return some day in a cloud. Soon they nailed Him to the cross, He died that the world would not be lost, And the nail prints in His hands Was a disgrace to any man. They offered Him vinegar to drink. That was awful, don’t you think? He hung there and died As His mother watched and cried. By His word they would not abide, They took and pierced Him in His side; And they put a crown of thorns upon His head, They were glad when He was dead. The sun refused to give its light. Everything was dark as night; Then an earthquake it did come To let them know it was God's Son. The cross was made of a hardwood tree, Just think now it was there at Calvary, His mother was there, nothing she could do; The people said, put Him to death, He’s not true. The anguish and pain he suffered for man. You can't do enough to repay Him again; Then they cast lots at the foot of the cross, Jesus was dead, the world was not lost. Now they buried Him in the tomb, God knew His Son would rise very soon. On the third day, as you know. His mother to the tomb did go. She took her friends with her, so they could stay Until they could roll the stone away; It was just at the break of day. In that tomb Jesus’ body did not lay. They spread the news around That Jesus’ body was not found; He had risen from the dead, That’s why we can live without a dread.
