Washington, September 10.
The Secretary of State, Mr. Doan Acheson, said today that the world situa. tion would remain dangerous for some time but stable peace could be
won.
In a Columbia Broadcasting System television interview, Mr. Acheson said the United States and its allies must rearm as swiftly as possible but that it was not necessary for them to match the huge Russian ormy man for man.
