' IN AIR’
(N.Z. Press Assn. —Copyright) OTTAWA, Oct. 1. Mr Paul Martin, the Canadian Minister of External Affairs, said yesterday that China’s first atomic explosion would be in the atmosphere, not underground. He declined to tell reporters how he knew it would be atmospheric. The United States had already forecast a Chinese atomic device would be exploded, but Canada was known to have additional sources of information. Mr Martin said the Canadian Government learned of the imminent Chinese detonation with regret and concern. He said Canada shared the generally-held view that a Chinese atomic test “could occur in the fairly near future." “It will be an atmospheric test,” he added. “It would in all probability be followed by other tests in due course.”
