are SO horrible that they would
go unused in war.
What basis have we for
assuming that a nation, and
particularly one that has not
hesitated to resort to brutality
whenever it served its purposes,
would hesitate to use atomic
weapons any time it felt that
by such use it could improve
its own position?" he asked.
Securing ourselves as well
as we can against the dangers
of air atomic war is now and
for the foreseeable future our
primary security requirement,
he said. adding.
Fundamentally there is one
prime deterrent to Soviet ex-
ploitation of their growing
air/atomic power. That is to
convince them that aggressive
use OF tnlS power would bring
down upon them a retaliation
SO damaging that they could
not possibly improve their
position by an aggressive
move"
Be Instantly Ready
ITO be effective as this de-
terrent. our defensive position
has to meet certain require
ments," he declared. First, we
have to be instantly ready.
The first few hours and days
in an about war may well
be the decisive hours and days.
Second, we must be prepared
to absorb the initial blow and
still be capable OF destroying
the aggressor's air/atomic
power before it destroys U.S."

War between atomic powers
Sooner or later will be atomic
war, even if it starts out to be
non-atomic." Secretary of the
Air Force Donald A. Quarles
warned yesterday.
The Air Secretary spoke at
the monthly meeting of the
District League of Republican
Women at the Mayflower Hotel.
One hears the argument
that this is all so horrible that
opposing atomic powers would
be stalemated in the use of
their atomic eapons and
would, therefore, limit them
selves, by agreement or other
wise, to the use of pre-atomic
or conventional weapons" he
declared.
This view is a "fallacy," he
asserted. mo matter what
their original intentions might
have been. neither atomic
power could be expected to
accept defeat while withhold
ing its best weapons. If, in
description. the losing side re-
sorted to atomic weapons, the
winning side would then lose
unless it also used atomic
weapons"
Furthermore, he suggested,
war between atomic powers SIS
very apt to start out in this
most violent form because any
other kind of start would be
relatively INSTANTANEOUS to
the aggressor that starts it,"
Another Fallacy
Another dangerous fallacy,"
in Mr.. Quarles' view, is Ito
imagine that atomic weapons
