Mr.. Gromyko's statement drew
from John Hancock. acting United
States delegate in the absence of
Barnard M Baruch, an expression
OF "apprecia ton" Mr. Hancock
added, however that he would be
interested and knew the other dele

explanations by Mr. Gromyko as to
how the Russian plan is to be made

The Soviet delegate named no
names but left little doubt about
the meaning as he pounded home

which would require the United
States to stop making atomic bombs

one providing for immediate and
practical steps toward control of
atomic energy" Mr.. Gromyko in
sisted .----az
With almost taunting monotony
the Russian diplomat used one pref
atory springboard from which TO
leap again and again to his constant
points:
l. IF the countries of the atomic
energy commission really and sin
cerely wish to take practical steps,
there can be no serious obstacles to
concluding a treaty outlawing atomic
weapons.
2. If we really desire to prevent
the use of atomic energy as q
weapon" concluding this treaty will
not prove such complicated task.
3. IF we all agree that atomic
energy should be used only for the
benefit of mankind why should
nations develop stockpiles of atomic
bombs?
4. IF all countries agree to this
that the main purpose is to insure
that atomic weapons shall not be
used for mass destruction-how can
they reconcile the production of
atomic weapons to this purpose?"
Says Delegates Agree.
In his reply. Mr. Hancock OBJ
served all delegates are agreed that
ane outlawing of atomic weapons
gas OF great importance. He said
Ehat. as a matter of principle this
might well be the first thing
agreed to.
The u N secretariat's paraphrase
of Mr. Hancock's remarks then pro-
ceeded to this effect:
@"We agree that prohibition (ot
stonic weapons should be in the
treaty, but apparently we still dis
agree as to whether there should
be separate treaty providing only
for outlawing of the weapons and
the ending of production. We still
have to consider whether the treaty
toutlawing the weapons shall pro-
vide in the same document for the
setting up of a workable and eff
fective plan of control"
Mr.. Gromyko, in his statement
had asserted that "civilization gives
the example that countries if they
wish can conclude conventions
against the use of weapons for mass
destruction. DR.. Eelco Van Klef-
fens, Netherlands delegate, who
apparently had been waiting for just
such an opening, came up with a
prepared paper analyzing the effect
Of these conventions.
Says Treaties Fail.
DR.. Van Kleffens said that. in
modern times, formal prohibitions

set up against explosive or in
cendiary projectiles weighing less
than 400 grams, "dum-d dunn bullets

None of these prohibitions had beer

In MemOriam

In memory of our beloved wife
and mother, Mrs. Anna Gasser Fank-
hauser, who passed away a year
ago, May Is, 1945.
We see in a lovely garden
Flowers blooming so fair.
Some are just small buds
But we see them everywhere.
Soon the Master comes along
Walking in, the eve alone,
Cuts a lonely flower off
Claims it for His very own.
Yes, He loved them everywhere,
But this one was quite worn;
Yester's showers and storms you see
Had quite left the petals torn.
So He took the lovely flower
To His bosom, showing love,
And He bore the precious one
To the heavenly home above.
For He quite healed all the pain,
And the flowers continual bloom
Calls to those yet here on earth,
Come to Jesus, for there's room.
Yes, the lovely flower, you see
Was our Loved one, precious too;
But the Master took her home.
No more storms will she pass thru.
Yes, one year ago today,
How our hearts were filled with
gloom;
But we realize now, today,
That she now in heaven blooms.
