Europeans openly suspect that the United States will overlook their interests in future bilateral talks with the Soviet Union to limit the spread of nuclear weapons.
Adam Yarmolinsky '43, professor of Law, in an interview yesterday, said Europeans are worried about the U.S.'s apparent lack of real concern over the Soviet Union's invasion of Czechoslavakia.
Yarmolinsky gained these impressions recently while attending the tenth annual meeting of the Institute of Strategic Studies in Oxford, England.
"One British periodical, The New Statesman, has claimed that the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. have carved out spheres of influence for themselves and agreed to respect them," he said. "This sort of agreement, if it existed, would mean that the U.S. could do anything it wanted in its sphere, which includes the Dominican Republic, while the U.S.S.R. would have a free hand in its sphere, which includes Eastern Europe," he said.
This, of course, represents an extreme view, Yarmolinsky said.
"We must take the European leaders into our confidence in order to come up with a unified allied stand," he added. "The U.S. should be meeting with European leaders right now, but I know of no such talks," Yarmolinsky said.
