PEACE FOR TEN YEARS IS RANDOLPH CHURCHILL’S VIEW
(Rec. noon) SYDNEY, This Day. The world could be assured of peace for at least 10 years, because America alone had the secret of the atomic bomb, said Mr Randolph Churchill, who has just arrived in Sydney in the course of a lecture tour. “Britain has not the secret of the atomic bomb, but we have a pal who has —and we are quite content about our future,” he added. In ten years Russia might have one atomic bomb, but America would have 10,000 and it would be suicide for Russia to go to war.
Mr Churchill, who is aged 38, bears a strong resemblance to his father. He will be in Australia for three weeks and plans to spend a fortnight in New Zealand.
In the course of an interview, he said that a third world war was finally inevitable unless the opposing idealogies of Democracy and Communism could reconcile their basic differences. At present re-aproche-ment between the democracies and the Soviet Union appeared impossible.
“The nations which desire peace should be made to realise that they are about 20 times stronger than Russia,” he concluded. “Cowardice and refusal to face the facts are preventing these nations from getting together to prevent war.”
