AUCKLAND, July 7. tfDo you consider it possible that any nation or group of nations possessihg information regarding the composition of the atomic bomb, could permancntly prevent those facts from beconiing known by .another outside nation? " Professor P. W. Burbridge was askod this question by Mr. R. M. Algie, M.P., at the conclusion of his address to the Rotary Club. He replied that he defmitely did not consider it possible to prevent relevant facts becoming known. ' ' United States has published enough to tell half the st'ory and publication.is going on, ' ' he said. He considered that if Britain wishe^L to manufaCture explosive material she could probably do so in. a period of about three years without gaining any further in- ■ formation from outside sources. "I would say that in the same eircumstances, the period of time for Russia would be probably four or fiVe years. ' '
