ATOMIC ENERGY
SERIES OF TALKS OVER 8.8. C.
LONDON, March 3. Mr J. B. Priestley, opening the series of talks which experts are giving over the 8.8. C. this week on atomic energy, said there was not a man or woman in any country who could say, “ These talks are of no importance to me.” He emphasised that there might be a pretty close connection between the present fuel crisis and the possible imminent uses of atomic energy. Human beings, by making use of atomio energy, were turning the solar system into their own gas, light, and coke company. “If we cannot use atomic energy productively, then it is all up with you and me.” He said that later speakers will be Professor J. D. Cockroft, who assisted in the initial research of the atom’s structure; Professor M. L. E. Oliphant, who was a war-time worker with American physicists; and Groupcaptain G. L. Cheshire, V.C., who observed the first atomic bomb dropped at Nagasaki.
