U.S. Still Sole Possessor Of Atomic Bomb
Received Monday, 9.30 a.m. LONDON, February 6. The United States was still the sole possessor of the atomic bomb and the enormous f'acilities required in its production, Sir James Chadwick, atomic physicist, who is a master of Gonville and Carns College, Cambridge, told the Cambridge University Society for International Affairs. He added that if the prospect of world-wide control of atomic energy had gone or receded, the practicable alternative was informal co-operation between the United States, Britain and Canada. possibly with some other members of the British Commonwealth. "This implies working under the general leadership of the United States. Leadership must be where the power is and for some time it -will be with America. The close association of the Dominions with Britain and the development of the British Commonwealth's resources will make us a stronger and more useful ally, and give us a greater share in international affairs, but at present we are not in a position to replace the United States."
