    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on the Strategic Arms Limitation (SALT) agreement. The author noted that SALT has failed to prevent, if not outright Soviet military advantage over the United States. In the event of nuclear exchange, he noted that the United States is more superior in its counterforce capacity. However, he also expressed that there will come a time that the Soviet Union's counterforce will exceed that of the U. S. He maintained that SALT does not decide the issue of peace and war, but it is the power of nuclear weapons that is talked about.
