 "ThAt M our business.
 Behind the black poFlent Of the new atomic age lies a hope which seized upon With faith, can work our salvation. if we faii, then we have damned every man Co be the slave og fear, Let us not deceive ourselves. we must elect world peace or world destruction"
 Frankly admitting the revolu- llonary implications Of an atomic control system which would transs cend national sovereignty rights, narsioh said the democratic peoples Of the world "are not afraid Of ail lnternationaiism that protec,A."
 Enfereemble Sanction Needed
 However, they are unwilling Co be fobbed of by mouthings about narrow sovereignty, which R todays phrase for yesterdays isolation" he sald.
 naruch, q presidential adviser in bwo World Wars, told the comrils. alon that mere 'pious" declarations can never dlspei the fear Of an atomic war which grips the world. what people in all lands want is a program dof enforceable sanctions --aii international law with teeth ln t."
 The United States now has ex. elusive possession of the atomic nolnb, he declared, but she stands ready to prescribe and destroy this lnstrument--to lift it's use from death to life-if the world will join to a pact to that end.'
 Outlaw Even War
 Specifically. BartIch proposed:

 2. Creation of international enforcement machinery. un- laampered by veto rights, to punish swiftly those who vice late their solemn agreements not to develop or use atomic energy for destructive purposes"
 2. Surrender to the Author ity, when enforcement machin- arv has been made fool-proof, of America's atomic secrets and facilities The United States would then stop making atom bombs, and would either destroy iss existing stockpiie or hand it over to the enforcement agency.

 No Defenses Admitted

 we must provide the mechanism ko assure that atomic energy IS used for peaceful purposes and pre- ciaade it's use in war" he added. ~ro that end, we must provide in1- mediate, swift and sure punishment of those who violate the agreements khat are reached by the nations.

 Seizure of any plant or other property belonging to or licensed by the atomic development authority. Wilful interference with the &C., kvties of the authority.
 Creation or operation of danger ous projects in a manner contrary Co, or in the absence of. a license granted by the international con- trol body"
 Baruch did not specify how en- torcement machinery was to be es- abolished. but informed sources said the United States envisases lodg- ing this function by international agreement either with the UN Se- ourity Council or with a specially created agency. The atomic devel- 0psnent authority would be charged with detecting violators, but not with taking punitive measures.
