An International Central European Disarmament Authority with the right of inspection and control agreed to by the countries involved and the four powers. If this proposal were adopted. East Germany. Poland. and Czechoslovakia would. in effect. be liberated through peaceful means. The basis for Soviet control in these areas is the Red army. The most eloquent testimony to dissatisfaction with Soviet rule Is the steady stream. now almost a torrent. of East German refugees into West Berlin. Once Soviet troops were withdrawn. these areas would be afforded freedom of choice in their local affairs. Forbidden to arm beyond their internal security needs. they could deploy their energies and industries to raise living standards.
