CANADA COULD MAKE BOMB
NOT “SUBSERVIENT” TO U.S.
STATEMENT BY MINISTER (Rec. 10 p.m.) OTTAWA, June 15. “Canada is perhaps the only country in the world that is not ‘subservient* to the United States with respect to the atom bomb,” said the Canadian Minister of Reconstruction (Mr C. D. Howe) in the House of Commons. “We have sufficient skill to design and produce the bomb if we wished to. “We do not need to go to the United States for that information. Our ordnance men certainly could produce a bomb that would use the material we make in this country. “We have made it a point not to ask the United States for any information we do not need. We never ask for things that are likely to be refused, and I could not think of any good reason at all for asking the United States to tell us how to make the bomb. I think they would say, ‘Go and do what we did: find out for yourselves.’ ” Howe added that there were now 30 men in Canada qualified to follow through the whole process of atomic energy.
