China will soon have H-power . PEKING China possesses radioactive ores, can process them ‘and will have her own seven-kilo- watt reactor of heavy-water type this year as well as a 25- million electron volt cyclotron. The hitherto top-secret facts that China has ores and can produce pure uranium and thorium on a laboratory scale were disclosed last week at a conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences here. It was announced that the atomic reactor would be.com- pleted this year with Soviet help. This is probably part of the help promised by the Soviet Union in the April 1955 agreement, under which the Soviet Union was to supply China, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Rumania and East Germany with means and help in in- stalling atomic piles. Making: the announcement, Kuo Mo-jo thanked the’ So- viet Union and other socialist countries for their help. As part of the drive against bureaucracy and for more re- search, it was announced that in future scientists will be re- lieved of. administrative work and at the same time be en- trusted with leading their own academic work.

NEHRU, US. embassy at Taipeh wrecked HALT H-TESTS \after U.S. sergeant. acquitted KISHI ISSUE APPEAL DELHI The premiers of India and Japan made an “‘urgent and earnest appeal’’ last week for immediate suspension of nuclear test explosions. Prime Minister Nehru of India and Premier Kishi of Japan issued their communique after four days of talks in Delhi, where Kishi has been on an official visit. It added- that they hoped for an eventual agreement to abandon atomic weapons. Kishi told a-press conference that Japan would op- pose any attempt by the U.S. to station nuclear weapons on her territory, and that he was personally “‘strongly opposed” to Japan’s having any atomic weapons of her own. Japan had no intention of joining SEATO, he add- ed. Neither did she intend to “‘recognize the Commun- ist regime’ in China Peaceful competition will give USSR victory, states Krushchev By SAM RUSSELL MOSCOW “We are not going to blast the capitalist world with bombs,” Nikita Khrushchev, Soviet Communist party secretary, said in a speech published here last week. “We are for peace, for the prohibition of atomic on the U.S: and Britain to do the same.” He made the _ sensational claim that the Soviet. Union would be able to beat the U.S. in meat production per head of population by 1960 and in milk production * by next year, a victory ‘far more striking than the H-bomb.” “They say the Soviet has the H-bomb, the U.S. has the H- bomb and now Britain has the H-bomb,” said Krush- chev. “And since the H-bomb is a powerful .weapon, neither one nor the other will use it. They will threaten each other with the bomb, carry on the cold war, and live according to the principle of ‘neither peace nor war.’ “We Soviet people are against this theary,” he said. “Everybody knows that we went peace and are fighting for it not because our country is weak. The ringleaders in the imperialist camp and all kinds of warmongers realise and sense our strength and our might. “The Communist party and its central committee, with support from the people as a whole, will work on boldly and confidently, uniting the Soviet. people, advancing in- dustries and agriculture, and satisfying our people’s_ re- quirements. “Tf our material and spiri- tual opportunities are prop- erly used, this country will attain an unprecedented level and no sinister forces of the capitalist world will be able to arrest our victorious ad- vance to Communism.” “If we catch up the U.S. in per capita production of meat milk and butter we shall be launching a powerful torpedo at the pillars of capitalism.” To achieve the same level of meat production as the U.S. the Soviet Union will have to more than treble its 1956 meat output and, in fact, to increase its size three and a half times. But, relying on the. hard fact of the sensational advanc- es that Soviet collective and state farms have made since the new agricultural policy was “adopted in September 1953 Krushchev believes it can be done. According to the figures given by Krushchev last year the Soviet Union produced and hydrogen weapons and we call population, compared with U.S. production of 225 Ibs., while butter production was about 61 lbs. and 81 lbs. per head in the two countries re- spectively. Important successes have al- ready been scored Krushcheyv disclosed, for in the first four months of this year meat pur- chases by the state increased by 48 percent, compared with the same period last year and milk by 25-percent. As to how this tremendous increase is going to be achiev- ed Krushchev told the confer- amid applause: You have seen that many collective farms have stepped up production by ten, 15 and 20 times in literally two or three years. ence, yourselves “The strength of the collec- tive farm system, the patriot- ism of the Soviet people will enable us to accomplish this task in the next few years. “We have dared to chal- lenge the U.S. in peaceful com- petition in an important and key economic field, that same U.S. before whose purse all capitalist powers grovel and 71 lbs of meat per head oftremble.” MAY 31, 1957 — PACIFIC TRIBUNE—PAGE 3 _ cll Data has Wii
