CHURCHILL CALLS FOR NEW
TALKS WITH THE
RUSSIANS
Peaceful settlement on the basis of strength
London, July 5. today called for now talks with the Russians to seek a settlement before they possess the "devastating power" of atomic weapons.
Mr. Winston Churchill, leader of the Opposition,
"It is my belief that the American superiority in atomic warfare 'is, for the time being, an effective deterrent against a general Communist onslaught," Britain's wartime Premier told the House of Commons, debating the Korea war.
Mr. Churchill joined the Prime Minister, Mr. Clement Attlee, in declaring that British and American action in Korea gave the best chance of maintaining world peace.
