Meeting
iM!i 5,.-:-
LONDON. Tuesday, Sept. 24.-
WVlime Minister Stalin said to
day, in answer to questions by a
Hrttiah newsman as broadcast by
the Moscow radio, that the danger
of war does' not exist in the world
today, and that Britain and the
United State could not create a
capitalist encirclement of the so
viet union '"even if they wanted
to." "J, ' j.
One mtiat strictly differentiate
between the noise about a new
war which is spread today and the
real danger of a new war, which
doea not exist at the present time,"
the broadcast quoted Stalin as
Asked, however, if he believed
that the earliest : possible - with
drawal of United States troops
from China is vital to future
peace, Stalin replied:
-Yea, I do."
In response to a question as to
whether hei thought that a "vir
tual monopoly on, the atomic
I i
Say
s Theo-es 6 Kto LeaD amigao- off Mew Wair5'
bomb" by the United State con
stituted one of the main1 threats to
peace, the prime minister was
qUoted aa saying that he did not
consider the atomic bomb as "so
serious a force as certain politi
cians are inclined to regard it."
"'Atomic bombs are intended for
intimidating; weak nerves, but
they cannot decide the outcome of
wr since atoiMe bombs are by no
means sufficient for this purpose,"
Stalin added.
fThe broadcast said S t a 1 1 n's
statement was made in answer to
a list of questions submitted by
Alexander Worth, Moscow corres
pondent of the. London Sunday
times. h
Worth's first question was:
f Do you see a real danger of
war of which af the present time
sol much irresponsible, talk is go
ing on throughout the world?
What steps must be taken for pre
vention of war if auch danger exists?'
The answer, as translated by the
Soviet Monitor in London:
"I do not believe in a real dan
ger of a new war. Of a new war
there is talk at the present mainly
through military and political
scouts and only a few partisans
from among civilian ranks. They
need to make that noise in order
at least to:
A. Frighten with the specter of
war certain naive politicians from
among their counter agents and
thereby help their governments to
wrest more concessions from the
counter agents!
B. Make it difficult for some
time to cut the military budget 'of
their countries.
C. To put a brake on demobili
zation of troops and thereby evade
the quick growth of , unemploy
ment in their countries,
"One must strictly differentiate
between the noise about a new
war which is - spread today and
the real danger of a new war
which does not exist at the present
lime." j
Continuing, the broadcast gave
the questions- and answers as fol
lows: Q. "Do you believe that Great
Britain and the United States of
America are consciously creating
for the Soviet Union a capitalistic
encirclement?"
A. "I do not think that the rul
ing circles of Great Britain and
the United States could create
capitalistic encirclement of the
Soviet Union even if they wanted
it, which, however, I cannot as
sert." The Soviet monitor said recep
tion of the broadcast was poor,
making full translation of the
questions and answers difficult.
The next question:
i "It is said that by the words
of Mr. Wallace in his recent
speech (words inaudible) Britain.
Western Europe and the United
States (word Inaudible) confi
dent that Soviet policy in Ger
many will not be turned into a
weapon of Russian strivings direc
ted against Western Europe?"
A. "I believe that utilization of
Germany by the Soviet Union
agaiiut Western Europe and the
United States of America to be
out of the question. I believe it
is out of the question not only
because the Soviet Union is bound
by a treaty of mutual assistance
against German aggreasion with
Great. Britain and France and
with the United States of Ameri
ca by the decisions of the Pots
dam, conference of the big three
powers, but also because the pol
icy of utilization of Germany
against Western Europe and the
United States of America would
mean a departure of the Soviet
Union from its radical national
interests.
"Briefly speaking, the policy of
the Soviet Union on the German
1
question amounts to the dmiHtri
zation and democratization cf
Germany.
"I believe that the demilitariza
tion and democratization of Ger
many lepresents one of the nit
important guarantees for the es
tablishment cif a firm and lasting;
peace." ' ,
Q. "What is your opinion on the
X words inaudible1) that th p iicy
of the rnmmunliit parties in West
ern Europe is made in Mcm-ow?"
- A. "This accusation I believe fc
be absurd, borrowed from the
bankrupt arsenal of Hitler and
Goebbels,"
Q. "Do you believe in the pos
sibility of friendly and latir.g co
operation of the Soviet Union and

The special meeting was called,

plained that presence of Warren

pedient the approval of a long-
contemplated widening of Fair

from Capitol street.
Resolutions, were adopted to
transfer temporarily $9,000 from
a reserve fund for bridge work
to the i general street work fund
and to accept Warren Northwest's
estimate of $8.40o.25 for the pro
ject. The project will widen from
32 to 44 feet the block of Fair

council history lathed out tonight
against the presence of United
Statea troops in Chinn. Iceland,
and Latin ; America and drew a
sharp response from the Brazilian
delegate to the council.
The council adjourned until 3
p.m. EDT tomorrow after a three
and one-half hour session without
deciding whether to place on the
agenda a resolution put forward
by Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet
delegate arid president of the
council, asking for infotmntion on
the disposition of allied troops
in foreign non-enemy states.
Gromyko declared there had
been a "wave of protests" jigainM
the continued -.stay of Hritish and
American troops in China. India.
Iraq. Egypt, Iceland. Indonesia.
Greece. I'unarmi, BraS! and South
America.
Braillian Delegate Retorts
. Dr. Pedro Leao Vellow, Brazil
ian delegate, snapped back that
there is "not one United States
soldier on Brazilian soil today m
I speak to you." He supported
British. United States, Austral
ian and the Netherlands delegates
in opposition to- the Russian pro
posal,, which so far has received
the lone backing of the Polish
delegate.
The Russian delegate said that
President Truman and Secretary
of State James F. Byrnes had
promised that United States troops
would be withdrawn from China
after Japanese troops had been
disarmed and sent home or as soon
as the Chinese government was
able to perform these functions.
He said the repatriation of the
Japanese was about completed by
the end of June, "three months
ago," and he charged that the
repatriation was only a screen
"to cover the real aim for keep
ing these troops in China."
Gromkye Opposed
Gromyko spoke after Sir Alex
ander Cadogan, of Britain, and
Herschel V. Johnson, of the Unit
ed States, declared their strong
opposition to his request that the
question, which Gromyko describ
ed as a "situation" under the U.N.
charter, be put on the council's
work sheet.
Johnson retorted that United
States troops were on foreign
friendly territory on the basis of
agreement with their governments.
Johnson further said their pres
ence had not contributed to un
easiness in the world. He declared
the U. S. government could see no
"practical reason" for considering
the case.
