VISIT TO U.S.
Confirmed By Attlee LONDON, October 30. Mr Attlee confirmed in the House of Commons to-day that he will shortly be visiting Washington to discuss with President Truman and Mr Mackenzie King (Prime Minister of Canada) problems arising from the discovery of atomic energy. Mr Attlee said that the chairman of the Atomic Energy Committee, Sir John Anderson, was accompanying him in an advisory capacity. Mr Churchill said he' hoped the talks would not be limited to a particular topic, but would range over everything which might lead to good relations between Britain and America. Mr D. Kirkwdod (Labour) asked Mr Attlee: “It is not time, now you are going to have conversations, to call in Russia?" Mr Attlee replied: “I think it would be better to take those things bv stages.” Official quarters in London emphasise that the main theme of the talks between Mr Attiee and President Truman will be atomic energy and not foreign affairs, savs the Exchange Telegraph Agency. Mr Bevin will not accompany Mr Attlee.
