London, Apr. 25.

The influential Sunday newspaper, "The Obtor. var," in a five-column editorial survoying the threatening war, said today that the "only basis on which to negotiate successfully with tho Kremlin is one of.ready armed strength." Observer said that any agreement with Russia would have to include Soviet yielding on two vital questions, those of international atomic control and the future of Germany.

"The essential thing is that we should be able to negotiate with Rusala on the basis of actual, not potential, armed strength before Russia is equipped to wage an atomile war. Afterward it will be too late. For if Russia is once able to use atomic weapons, she will be less than ever likely to yield in the vital issue of inter- national control and the world will live unbearably on the edge of an appalling catastrophe.
