Britain, America and the H-Bomb

Since Britain has long been making
atomic weapons, and since its scientists are
among the best in the world, there is moth
ing surprising about its announcement that
1t has the liability" and intention to develop
and produce hydrogen bombs. The an
nouncement is matter of outstanding in
terest, however, not simply because it shows
that the United States and Russia have no
monopoly in nuclear and thermonuclear
armaments, but also-and more Importantly
because it suggests that serious attention
should be given to the old idea Of reviving
the closest possible, Anglo-American CO.
operation In this field.
Such cooperation existed to magnifl-
cent degree throughout the Second World
War. For it was during that time, Of course,
that Britain-although in some ways more
advanced than the United States in atomic
work-decided against trying to produce
nuclear weapons by itself and on its own
soil. Instead, 1t contributed It's scientific
and other. resources to ours and Canada S
in the history making, three-power enter
prise that led to the A-bomb and the dawn
Of the present new age Of tremendous prom
Use and tremendous threat. But the enter
prise ended with the defeat of the Rome
Berlin-Tokyo axis, and there Is certainly
some reason to feel that its liquidation, as
required by our own law, was much too
abrupt and thorough.
At any rate, now that the British have
undertaken to make thermonuclear as well
as nuclear weapons, it may be instructive
to recall that the wartime Anglo-American-
Canadian project was based on the follow
ing considerations, among others: I) That
it would be an unwise and waSteful dupli-
cation of effort If the three allies worked
apart from each other in trying to produce
the A-bomb; (2) that the raw materials,
manpower and other things needed were
too scarce to be scattered around in that
fashion; and (3) that a pooling of brains
and concentration of productive activity
ifthe United States would lead to scientific
and technical "breakthroughs," and to ulti-
mate success, much more quickly and much
more surely than separate or go-it-alone
operations.
Although conditions have changed
greatly since 1945, these considerations con-
tinue to be valid in large measure. For the
high probability Is that Britain and the
United States still have something to learn
from each other In the weaponeering busi-
ness, and If they both co-operated in it
more or less as in the wartime days-the
chances are that they would score mutual
gains strengthening their own security and
the security of the free world in general.
In the circumstances, especially since the
essential H-bomb secret is no longer any,
body's exclusive possession, our two coun-
tries could do worse than explore the posi-
bility Of agreeing on at least a limited
revival of their old atomic partnership.

Against Blue Laws

The Religious News Service reports
in your issue of February l3 that 're-
ligious" forces are still interested in
Tightening legislative control on Sunday
observance.
They've been at it long time. these
blue law agitators. and in some areas
they are actually winning the day, due
largely to the indifference Of the masses
to the curbing Of their liberties, and the
meddling Of the clergy.
In other areas they are not making
much headway. If any, thanks to an
alert citizenry who encourage their
preachers to stay in the pulpit and stay
out of legislative halls.

Last week in testifying for a
four-year extension of the draft
Gen. Ridgway described the pro-
posed Army cut as "jeopardizing
our security to a degree"
After Gen. Ridgway's opposi-
tiort was revealed publicly, Pres
ident Eisenhower told a news
conference the Army Chief Of
Staff had right to differ with
the program and an obligation
to present his views to Congress.
But he emphasized that the de-
cision, which he himself had
made, remained unchanged.
The President and other de-
fense spokesman have stressed
that the Army reduction was a
part of an overall program to
stabilize the armed forces with
out an undue economic drain for

Reserves Not Ready
In Event Of War,
Ridgway Testifies
By Cecil HoIIond

Gen. Ridgway today told Con-
gress the country's reserve
forces are in 'an unacceptable
state of readiness" and would
require from 5 to 10 months of
training in the event of war.
The Army Chief of Staff testi-
fed before House Armed Serv-
ice subcommittee considering a
national reserve plan designed
to build up over the next five
years a ready reserve force Of
nearly 5 million men.
His testimony was regarded as
a renewed protest against the
administrations plan to reduce
the size of the Army from about
1.170.000 at present to 1,025, 900
in the next fiscal year for "a
long haul" against the threat
of communism.
Gen. Ridgway made no direct
comment on the new military
program ordered by President
Eisenhower. But throughout a
prepared statement and in ques-
tioning by subcommittee mem
bers the general emphasized the
need for IAN adequate Army in
being" to support the national
objectives and to insure our ma
tional security"
Questioned on Soviet Shifts.
Representative Brooks, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana, the subcom-
mittee chairman, referred to the
dramatic upheaval in the Soviet
Government, and asked:
Nothing has happened to
cause us further to reduce our
military strength?"
'The answer is, No, SIR" Gen.
Ridgway replied.
Both Gen. Ridgway and Army
Secretary Stevens, who also tes-
titled, declined to comment spe-
cifically on what has happened
In Russia.
Mr.. Stevens said it was "a
little early for us to evaluate"
the events in Moscow. Gen.
Ridgway commented that lit
would be the better part of wis
dom not to draw any conclusions
at this time-conclusions we
might regret later"
Stevens Backs Program.
Under questioning, however,
Mr.. Stevens said he saw no rea-
son at this time to vary from
the administrators proposed
military program. This was in
line with Secretary of Defense
Wilson's statement to the sub
committee yesterday that the
events in Russia were "just an
other ripple" as far as this coun-
try's military planning was con-
cerned.
Representative Winstead, DEM
ocrat, of Mississippi, said he did
not like "any cutbacks at this
time" and asked if in the event
of another conflict such as Korea
the Army would have to call back
men who had served there and
in World War II.
Mr.. Stevens said he did not
think so because the Army now
is about double what 1t was at
the start of the Korean war.

as Korea was more or less i'm

OF these glum predictions.
For the past few days, the GAIA
Strip tease has become a minia-
ture, bloody war and Egyptian
defiance has flared again into
open aggression and terrorist
murder. The talks were broken
off abruptly and unilaterally and
the deathly rampage into Israel
territory has turned once more
into front page news throughout
the world. 1t might be of interest
to go back into the recent past
and retrace the development of
increased Egyptian hostility. On
August 9, the tenth and last meet
ing of the representatives of Is
rael and Egypt took place. The
Egyptian spokesman made his ma
tons intentions very clear. Any
direct cooperation between Egypt
and the Jewish State was impos-
sible.
From that day on, the list of
aggressions heightened. Outrage
followed outrage. Is Israelis,
mainly civilians, fell victims to
the Egyptian lust for minor bat
tie. The mood in Israel became
stormier, but still the country
abided by its principle of self
restraint. The UN seemed disin-
clined for active intervention.
Bands of terrorists penetrated
deeper and deeper into Israel.
Sabotage and pillage partnered
every act of murder. The appeal
came for a cease-fire and sud-
denly, gratefully, the Egyptians
agreed. This was the proverbial
stitch in time. To agree now, in
hurry, surprise everyone and
get off without punishment-why
not? So, the agreement was

broadcast with considerable flour
ish. One wonders now just what
the Egyptians thought that Israel
would do. Proffer the national
hand, murmur about bygones
being bygones and wait passively
for the next manifestation of
Egyptian hatred. 1t seems unlike
ly that even the Egyptians con-
jectured along these lines, but, of
course, Israel did no such thing.
Cease-fire certainly, always, and
at any time but someone would
have to bear the brunt of the long

responsibility and then Israel
