dated February 04, 1955: N-weapons: PM's caution

Prime Minister Nehru told the Commonwealth Prime Ministers in London on February 2 that the world statesmen should work for the complete abolition of atomic and hydrogen weapons which threatened the existence of mankind. Conference sources said his was the only dissenting voice in an assessment of the effect of atomic warfare on international affairs agreed on at the meeting of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers. Sir Winston Churchill, British Premier, who spoke for 40 minutes, told the conference that the U.S. had a great start in atomic weapons development and her technical and material superiority still held the balance of world power. Mr. Nehru argued that the hydrogen bomb had made war obsolete as an instrument of policy. Its continued development threatened civilisation. He wanted the production of atomic and hydrogen weapons to be stopped and no more experiments to be carried out.
