MEANING FOR MANKIND
ARCHBISHOPS WARNING (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) Rec. 9 a.m. LONDON, August 24. "The use already made of the atomic bomb has shocked us all," says the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Fisher, in his "Diocesan Gazette." "Not only the Christian conscience, but every conscience is afraid and ashamed. Another long step has been taken towards the abyss. The question is now, having looked into the abyss, can mankind recover itself? "Not if there is another major war. Not if every nation secretly seeks to exploit "atomic energy for more efficient military uses. "The way of deliverance is in the United Nations Charter. Every nation signing must live by it, and between them there must be no military secrets. "The nations outside the Charter must be so controlled that they cannot develop this weapon. The United Nations must suppress not merely war but the intention to resort to war in whatever quarter at the first manifestation."
