At the outset, Churchill told hi

without any official standing, tina
he was speaking only for himself.
Then he got down TO internationa
cases, making these points In rapi'
succession:

lately" begin an international
armed force" with each parti-
cipating nation providing cir
force units,
.. II would be wrong TO give
the atomic bomb secrets TO

Great Britain and Canada.

Discussed with Halifax
Churchill's speech was the pro
duct Of much consideration anS
thought, It had been discussed with
Lord Halifax, the British arnbassa'
dor In this country and persona
representative Of the British crown
And British sources said 1t wa
highly unlikely that Churchill woulC

Look In Distant Future
Aside from his discussion o
Anglo-Amertcan cooperation In tn
use Of naval and air bases to keeI
the peace, Churchill looked on to Al
admittedly distant era when Their
might be common citizenship be

tain.
Eventually" he said, sthere ma
come the principle Of common eitl
Senship, but that we may be con
tent to leave TO destiny, whose out
stretched arms so many Of us car
