Received Friday, 11.50 a.m. NEW YUEK, March 31. Europe would have been Communised and London would have been under bombardment some time ago but for the deterrent of America's possession of the atomic bomb, Mr. Winston Churchill declared today.
In a speech condemning Russia, the British yvartime leader warned that the Western world did , not have unlimited time before a settlement with Russia should be achieved. "The utmost vigilance should be practised," he said, "but I do not think my- , self that violent or precipitate \ action should be taken now. War is not inevitable." Offering' aii explanation of the Russian behaviour, Mr. Churchill said: "Fourteen men in the Kremlin, holding down hundreds of millions of people and aiming at the rule of the world, feel that at all costs they must keep up the barriers. Self-preservation, not for Russia but for themselves, lies at the root and is the explanation of their sinister and malignant policy."
