With this in mind, let us look at the Reagan administration's launching of the much-ballyhooed Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) initiative. Essentially, what President Ronald Reagan proposed in his first major foreign-policy offering is the so-called "zero option"– NATO would not CONCLUSION deploy new Pershing-2 or cruisemissilesin Western Europe if the Soviets would agree to remove their SS series of missiles out of range of Western Europe (or scrap them completely), quid pro quo. This is the conclusion of a series of interviews with The scheme has already been labelled a propaganda ploy by the Soviet news agency TASS.

During last year's presidential campaign, candidate Reagan, in an obvious pitch to the farm vote, in focusing on one sector of professional Ukrainian promised to lift the embargo, calling it an unfair burden on American farmers. life — architecture and the arts — the series was Well, he made good on his promise in the spring over the protests of several politicians and designed to appeal to the Ukrainian community at economists, it was a tactical mistake, for in so doing, he wasted the powerful grain weapon for large in an effort to expand public understanding of possible use in future crucial negotiating situations like the START initiative. the points raised, as well as to acquaint the general Moreover, the Soviets are now greedily buying American grain at record levels. They will have to readership with various Ukrainian architects and spend something like S6 billion, much of it in hard currency, to buy grain next year as a result of a artists, and their work. worsening chronic problem with agriculture. Much of the money will go into U.S. coffers. The series was not conceived so much with the aim The point is that the Soviet leaders are faced with a serious economic crisis that could, in the long of arriving at definite conclusions but rather, to assess run,have internal political ramifications.

Then, he could have offered in order to effect a veritable interchange of ideas, the Soviets grain for guns, linking future grain sales to the Kremlin's willingness to roll back their however, the discussion has to continue both within missiles from Europe or remove them entirely.

Despite the massive influx of Yankee wheat, the Soviet economy is, the views and concerns expressed by the participants, as mentioned, in dire straits - Soviet Party boss Leonid Brezhnev is currently in Bonn wheeling and it would be the significance of church art and dealing with West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. West Germany is the Soviet Union's biggest architecture for our cultural heritage and the need for trading partner and Mr. Brezhnev is known to be hungry for advanced German technology. Mr. the creative reinterpretation of tradition in meeting the Schmidt's initial reaction to the Reagan arms reduction proposal was favorable. Concerned about needs of the times. Tensions arose precisely in relation the deployment of nuclear arms in Europe and the growing anti-nuclear sentiment in his country, to the relative weight to be accorded to tradition or Mr. Schmidt would be wise to suggest to Mr. Brezhnev that any new economic assistance or trade to innovation, and it is out of this very tension that the Soviet Union would be contingent on the Soviets' willingness to give Mr. Reagan's proposal a Ukrainian culture has to continue to draw its life force. serious hearing. Within the general discussion, the participants Finally, Western negotiators should be prepared to exploit the Kremlin's economic troubles by offered various suggestions and concrete proposals indicating that some of those problems could be eased if the Soviets were more conciliatory on arms which hopefully will be given due consideration. reduction.
