ATOM TEST BAN
‘Every Chance Of Success’
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, June 30.
The Prime Minister (Mr Macmillan) said today he still believed there was “every chance of success” for the Geneva conference on nuclear test control. In reply to questions in the House of Commons, he said: “The conference is going along slowly but steadily. There may come a point where some vital decision will have to be taken.” Mr Macmillan said the success of the conference meant not merely a cessation of tests, but for the first time a system of international control of tests.
“I feel this prize is worth waiting for and working for because it is the biggest of all. “Our chief aim must be to reach comprehensive agreement with an effective system of control. Meanwhile, the conference is continuing and no tests are taking place.” The Leader of the Opposition. Mr Hugh Gaitskell, said the negotiations might still take a long time and it was vitally important that meanwhile no further tests should be made.
