WAVELL BELIEVES WESTERN UNITY MAY PREVENT WAR
LONDON, Oct. 19
The Copenhagen correspondent of the Associated Press reports that Field-Marshal Lord Wavell told reporters when he arrived at Copenhagen that there would be no new war if the Western Powers remained together. Lord Wavell will address the Dan-ish-British Society in Copenhagen to-morrow night. He said that he did not believe a third world war would be an atomic war. Asked what would happen if Russia produced atom bombs, he said: “By that time the Western democracies will most certainly have more atom bombs than Russia. Before the last war everbody thought that poison gas would be used, but nobody dared to use it for fear of retaliation with the same weapon. In my opinion it will be just the same with the atom bomb.”
