As with the Partial Test-Ban Treaty, France and Red China are not expected to sign the non-proliferation treaty. The Americans and Russians hope that they will be able to persuade the have-nots to put aside their hesitations and go along with the treaty, but expect that the job of persuasion will take at least to fall, when they hope that the United Nations will take up the question...
