Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-06-14

Assembly winch created THIS COM
mission.
Is. Disclosures-In the delibera-
tons of the United Nations Commits
sion on Atomic Energy, the United
States is prepared to make available
the information essential to a rea-
sonable understanding of the pro-
posals which it advocates. Further
disclosures must be dependent, in
the interests of all, upon the effec-
tive ratification of the treaty.
When the authority is actually
created, the, United States will join
the other nations in making avail
able the further information essen
tial to that organization for the
performance of it's functions. AS
the successive stages of international
control are reached, the United
States will be prepared to yield, to
| the extent required by each stage,
national control of activities in this
field to the authority.
H. International control-There
will be questions about the extent
of control to be allowed to national
bodies, when the authority is estab-
lished. Purely national authorities
for control and development of
atomic energy should to the extent
necessary for the effective opera
ton OF the authority be subordinate
to it. This is neither an indorse-
ment nor disapproval OF the
creation of national authorities.
The commission should evolve a
clear damarcation of the scope Of
duties and responsibilities Of such
. national authorities.
Will Make Data Available.
And now I end. I have sub
mitted an outline for present dis
cussion. Our consideration will be
broadened by the criticism OF the
United States proposals and by the
plans of the other nations. which,
it is TO be hoped, will be submitted
at their early convenience.
| I and Sny associates of the United
States delegation will make avail
able to each member of this body
books and pamphlets, including the
Acheson-Li lienthal report, recently
made by the United States Depart
ment of State, and the Mcmahon
Committee Monograph No. l en-
titled Essential Information on
Atomic Energy" relating to the
Mcmahon bill recently passed by
the United States Senate, which
may prove of value in assessing the
situation.
All of us are consecrated to makins
an end of gloom and hopelessness.
1t will not be an easy job. The way
is long and thorny. but supremacy
worth travelling. All of us want to
stand erect. with our faces to the
sun. instead of being forced to
burrow into the earth. like rats.
The pattern of salvation must be
worked out by all for all.
The light at the end of the tunnel
is dim, but our path seems to grow
brighter as we actually begin our
Journey. We cannot yet light the
way to the end However, we hope
the suggestions OF my Government
will be Illuminating.
Let us keep in mind the exhorta-
ton Of Abraham Lincoln, whose
words, uttered at moment OF shat
tering national peril, form a COM
plete text for our elaboration.
quote, paraphrasing slightly:
I'VE cannot escape history. We
of this meeting will be remembered
in spite of ourselves. No personal
significance or insignificance can
spare one or another OF us. The
fiery trial through which We are
passing will light us down in honor
or dishonor to the latest generation.
I'VE say We are for peace. The
world will not forget that we say
this. We know how to save peace.
The world knows that We do. We.
even we here, hold the power and
have the responsibility.
I'VE shall nobly save, or meanIy
lose, the last, best hope OF earth.
The way is plain, peaceful, generous.
just-a way which, if followed, the
world will forever applaud"
