WHAT KHRUSHCHEV SAID do not know where Mr. John Long
got his quotation from Khrushchev's disarmament speech. rom the official English translation it is seen that Khrushchey said the following, not as quoted by Mr. Long : A weapon we have today, about to be hatched, is even more perfect, even more formidable. The weapon which is being developed and is, as they say, in the portfolio• of our scientists and designers, is a fantastic weapon. This would seem to support Mr. Hollis's article, and not Mr. Long.
think it is worth adding that these remarks on a new weapon were prefaced by the statement:
As long as no agreement is reached to outlaw nuclear weapons, we are compelled to continue producing them. Of course, we have to spend quite large sums for this purpose. But for the time being we cannot fully end production of nuclear weapons such a decision must come as a result of an agreement among the nuclear powers. --Yours faithfully, PAT SLOAN General Secretary The British Soviet Friendship Society, 36 Spencer Street, EC I
