PEACEFUL USE OF ATOM
French Approval Of World Agency
(Rec. 10 p.m.) NEW YORK, Oct. 3 France welcomed the establishment of the International Atomic Energy Agency as a first and concrete step toward general disarmament, said Mr Bernard Cornut-Gentille, the French delegate to the 81-nation conference meeting in New York to approve the statute for the “atoms-for-peace” agency. “My Government considers the creation of the agency,” he said, “a concrete achievement, capable of enabling us soon to take the first steps in general disarmament. “The setting up of this agency is for us a point of departure.” Mr Cornut-Gentille emphasised that France was determined to pursue, through the agency and other organisations. her efforts at conciliation in the constant search for a disarmed peace. “We know that the International Atomic Energy Agency would not be able to stop those States, which have the means of doing so, from continuing or beginning the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction,” he said.
The conference today will go into committee'' to discuss the draft statute clause by clause.
