PRICE OF SECRECY
SCIENTIST'S DECLARATION Rec. 10 a.m. LONDON, November 30. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.)
Scientists who readily submitted- to secrecy during the war must be watchful against any assumption that their submission would be continued into peace, said the retiring president, Sir Henry Dale, in a speech at the anniversary meeting of the Royal Society. If the nations tried to bring science to secrecy, civilisation would be in
constant peril of dissolution. It should not be assumed that atomic energy represented the only, or even the most effective, agent lor the destruction of one people by another. Atomic bombs gave immediate pre-eminence to a problem which the world might have had to face even if the attempt to release, atomic energy had failed.
British and American delegates at the International Women's Congress in Paris presented a joint resolution declaring that the secret of the atomic bomb belongs to all the nations and must not be kept from Russia.
