COMMENT: OF THE DAY
Britain And Atomic Energy
TÍIAT Britain is in the process of
making atom bombs must have an important effect on the plans now being evolved for the defence of Western Europe. Up to the present the free world has relied on the United States to provide supplies of this weapon, and while it is not suggested that Britain could compete with American produc- tion (even if it were desirable). It is a matter of high importance that in the futuro 'she will be able to make contri- butions to atom bomb stockpiles. And there is quiet satisfaction to be gained. from the fact that British scientists have finally overcome the obstacles
which prevented an earlier production of the atom bomb. Our scientists un- doubtedly materially assisted in the Initial work, which led to the United States making the first atom bomb in history, although its most vital secret has eluded them until recently. The latest announcement by the Ministry of Supply also vindicates Mr Attlee's repeated declarations in the House of Commons that successful developments were going on. But while it is satis factory to know that Britain now possesses the necessary knowledge to produce an explosive atom bomb, large scalo production la out of the question. She cannot hope to operate on the same lovel of American projects, which protcosti
