Peace is Extreme Worry but Underlying Hope of World
(Rec. 9.0). SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11. The new Los Angeles evening newspaper, Los Angeles Mirror, began publication to-day with a world-wide symposium on the prospects of peace or'war. It obtained its opinions from leading world figures. On the question: “How great is the danger of another world war, and how best can it be prevented?” the newspaper comments: “Their answers summarised, are a message of extreme worry, but of underlying hope The majority feel the Berlin crisis should not lead to war, but it may”. Mr Churchill said: :“At the present time, the only sure foundation of peace rests on strength. If it were not for the stocks of atom bombs now in the trusteeship of the United States, there would be no means of stopping the subjugation of Western Europe by Communist machinations, backed by Russian armies, and enforced by political parties. The Western nations will be far more likely to reach a lasting settlement without bloodshed if they formulate their just demands while they have atomic power, and before the Russian Communists have it too”.
