Speaking in Paris today, Mr. James Byrnes, Unit- ed States Secretary of State, stated that he heartily agreed with Marshal Stalin that there was no immediate danger of war. Then he added: "I hope that this statement will put an end to the unwarranted charges that any nation or group of nations is seeking to en- circle the Soviet Union or that the responsible leaders of the Soviet Union so believe. hope also that this statement will put an end to the unwarranted charges that the United States is seeking to use its possession of the atomic bomb as a threat of force against the Soviet Union or that the responsible leaders of Russia so believe.
