The Los Angeles Times thinks that disarmament would “handicap” the USA more than the USSR. So why continue the London negotiations? An Aug. 24 editorial offers this as a good and sufficient reason:
“The President’s new proposal to the London conference seems useful nevertheless. Continued negotiation is desirable; talk is cheap. We appear to have the initiative now in the contest for world regard as ‘the most peaceful,’ and disarmament debates are one of the cheapest means of waging cold war, even with Harold Stassen’s London expense account.”
