be devised.
7. In order to attain the most
effective means of entirely eliminat-
ing the use of atomic energy for
destructive purposes and promoting
its widest use for industrial and
humanitarian purposes, we are of
the opinion that at the earliest
practicable date commission should
be set up under the United Nations
Organization to prepare recon-
mendations for submission 20 the
organization.
Work to Be Speeded.
The commission should be in
structed to proceed with the utmost
dispatch and should be authorized
to submit recommendations from
time to time dealing with separate
phases of its work
In particular the commission
should make specific proposals:
(a) For extending between all
nations the exchange of basic scien-
tific information for peaceful ends,
(b) For control of atomic energy
to the extent necessary to ensure its
use only for peaceful purposes,
Co For the elimination from ma
tional armaments of atomic weapons
and of all other major weapons
adaptable to mass destruction,
I'D For effective safeguards by
way of inspection and other means
to protect complying states against
the hazards of violations and eva
sions.
Exchange of Data Stressed.

should proceed by separate stages
the successful completion of each
one of which will develop the neces.
sary confidence of the world before
the next stage is undertaken. Spe'
cifically it is considered that tht
commission might well devote its at

of scientists and scientific informa'

development of full knowledge con
