But this risk is negligible in relation
to the incomparably greater risk of
having no control al all. World own
ership and operation of all dangerous
nuclear materials and dangerous plants
cannot create perfect international Sc

inspection system serve as foolproof in
surance against clandestine activities
circumventing a solemn covenant out
lawing tie use of atomic energy for
military purposes. Yet these super
visory and policing measures-indis-
pensable parts Of our American plan
can be tremendously effective, far more
effective than anything else can be, in
establishing relatively great global
safety in the potentially perilous age
ahead. without them, there can be
scant hope of averting the enormous
menace of blind, unreasoning, pam
icky contest among the different powers
to outdo each other in arming them
selves so heavily with A-weapons that
the whole of our society will live in
constant fear of standardization.
