true that the more the citizens of the world can get to know each other the less likely are we to have the emotional condition in which war is possible
 For that reason, Attlee continued 'our United Nations, in which l profoundly believe, must be some thing more than an agreement be- tween governments; it must be an expression of the will of the com mon people in every country
 The prime minister's speech was couched mainly in general terms. He did not specifically mention So- viet Russia or detail any plans for bringing about greater unity between the eastern and western allies.
 Pays Tribute to Big 3
 He did, however, pay tribute to GeneraliSsimo Josef V. Stalin in a reference to the late President Roosevelt and former Prime Min ister Winston Churchill.
 Tn the struggle against the forces of tyranny Attlee said, the names of these two men, Churchill and Roosevelt, together with that Of Generalissimo Stalin, will ever be linked in achievement
 He also seemed to underscore i President TrumanS Navy Day as- sertion that this country, interested only in world peace, looked upon possession of the atomic bomb as a sacred trust. In words which might have been caculated to ally Soviet fears, Attlee said:
 Today the United States stands out as the mightiest power on earth, and yet America is threat to no one"
 Attlee, whose speech was broad cast over all networks, said the labor government of Great Britain be- lieves that the foundations of peace must be world prosperity and good neighborliness. and it is deter mined, he said, to fight for this objective with courage and a de- termination to win through" | ExpIains Aim of Socialists
 we have not stood up to our enemies for six years" he said, ito be beaten by economies.
 Attlee sought to reassure his audi ence about the so-called Socialist government of Britain. Some per sons, he said, believe the Socialists are "out to destroy freedom, free dom of the individual, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and free- dom of the press"
 They are wrong he said;
 Attlee pointed out that the Labor party consists not only of wage earners but also of professional and business men, clergymen, jour nalists, Protestants, Catholics, and Jews.
 The old school tie can still be seen on the government benches" he said.
 Safeguard Individual
 But though the party is not out to destroy any of the democratic freedoms, it does intend to safe guard the freedoms of the individual.
 When big business gets too pow erful so that it becomes monopolis- tic," he said, we hold that it is net safe to leave it in private hands. .
 Attlee said he looked to an era increasing cooperation between his country and the United States mot as being an exclusive friend ship but as a contribution to the knitting together with all peoples through the United Nations organ ization in the bonds of peace"
 Internal policies need not leopard l L.. AI..a coid
 We shall be working out a planned economy" he continued. You, maybe. will continue in your more individualistic methods |. .
 Tt is essential if we are to build up a peaceful world that we should have the widest toleration recogniz- ing that our aim is not uniformity but unity in diversity.
 Tt would be dull world If we were all alike"
 Expresses Trust in U. s. A.
 Attlee expressed full trust in the good purposes of the United States.
 To-day" he said, "the United States stands out as the mightiest power on earth.
 And yet America is a threat to no one. All know that she will never use her power for selfish aims or territorial aggrardizement in the future any more than she has done in the past.
 we look upon her forces and our own forces and those of other nations as instruments that must never be employed save in the in terests of world security and for the repression of the aggressor."
 Attlee said this country had been spared by the rayages of war.
 But" he added, T know that you are fully conscious Of the tragic folly of war
 Defensive Barriers Gone There> are now no natural de- fensiye barriers behind which na- tions may hiGe in security, he said.
 "The old discontinuity of earth and sea has been replaced by the continuity of the air Attlee said, adding:
 These old and historic divisions do not exist in the element in which men now move. If not now then in few years the devastating weapons which are at present being developed may menace every part of the world.
 Tt is in the light Of these facts and in particular in the light---the terrible light of the atomic bomb, that I have entered into discussion with your President in order that we may get together with all the nations of the world and consider what kind of world 1t is necessary
