Washington, Sept. 26-(UP)-How can an uneasy world best evaluate Josef Stalin's statement that there is no danger of war?
 The answer, according to some of the best-informed circles here, will be found by watching future Soviet action in Austria, the United Ma tionS and perhaps most important of all, on atomic bomb control.
 Will Russia give way and accept some realistic program of atom bomb control and inspection? If so she is thinking in terms of real "col- lective" security, not just her own power and protection.
 Must Cease LIN Discredit
 Will she cease giving the appear ance of trying to discredit the United Nations and seek instead to build up its power and prestige as

 Will she get down to making a treaty with Austria and get her troops out of that country?
 It is chiefly in actions such as these, as well as in other demonstra- tions of willingness to cooperate with other nations, that the real meaning of Stalins words will be- come apparent, in the view of close observers of the Russian position.
 These observers raise the poSSibil- ity that Stalin's words may have been intended more for home con- sumption that they were to ease the fears of the rest of the world.
 They believe the Russian people may have become as uneasy as the rest of the world in the war of nerves that has resulted from the diplomatic struggle between the Soviet Union and the western allies.
 Based Fears of Russians
 An alarmed people is not the best basis for stable conditions and hard work at reconstruction at home. Consequently, these sources feel, Stahn may have been working chief ly to ease any fears of the Russian people that war with the west was 
 Both British and American cor respondents in Moscow reported an audible sigh of relief through out the Soviet Union at Stalin's words.
 The U. s. State Department has never felt that a war with Russia was either imminent or inevitable. It is the view of experts that the Russians don't want war and know that war would not be to their in- tereSt-at least during the next few years.
