Received Monday, 7 p.m. NEW YORK, Sept. 25. Any one of a dozen countries would have the power to threaten the survival of mankind in the not far distant future, declared the Canadian Minister of External Affairs, Mr. Lester Pearson, tonight in a broadcast from New York. He said knowledge of the atomic explosion in Russia should not come as a surprise ( or alter Western policies in any way. "It shoulci not alarm us any more than we should be , alarmed by the very existence 1 of the bomb itself," he said. It merely underlined the conclusion that atomic energy must be brought under strict international control. This would mean making absolutely sure that no bombs were being made by anyone and that atomic energy was being developed for constructive purposes alone. |
