Professor P. M. Blackett (above), an atomic research expert, in a foreword to a pamphlet issued by the Association of Scientific Workers, said that the cost of the necessary passive defence measures, and the dispersal of underground factories and shelters were “widely outside the economic possibilities of this economically hard-pressed country. It is entirely safe to conclude that these steps will not, in fact, be taken.” One of the most important things that could be done was to press for a new attempt at achieving international control of atomic energy.—London, May 27.
