there is still a considerable
gap between how scientists

selves and when he quoted It

biosis Of technology, study,

ted against q dark world for
everybody.
To show the really dual
aims of both artist and SCI
enlist, the speaker was quite
certainly understood and APP
plauded when he said: IT

doubt our antagonists, pre-
pare to inflict such unprece-

imaginable harm on the peo-
pie Of this world as we do
with our weapons, our weap-

plans. I know that neither
our Government nor any
meaningful part Of our peo-
pie plans to do this harm
one fine day without cause.
I believe that the Soviet gov

would not be wise to take
such a course. 1t is my ear
nest hope that when the time
comes, as one day it will,
when China has a compa-

here my hope is nourished by
nothing. Like you, I would

that it Is without profound
