Molotov at Moscow, in which he said that “the secret of the atom bomb has long ceased to exist,” Brown said: “There is no such thing as an atomic bomb secret that can be printed on a piece of of paper or whispered.

The United States, not infrequently together with Great Britain, is acquiring ever new naval and air bases in all parts of the globe and even adapts whole states for suchlike aims, especially if they are situated close to the Soviet Union,” he said. “. . . It is clear that creation of military bases in various parts of the world is not de signed for defense purposes but as preparation for aggression.” Molotov said predictions of failure for the Soviet by its enemies ever since the revolu- tion now had proved false. If Russia had not been rav- aged by war, he said, it now would be better supplied than any other country in the world. “In these days,” he said, “it is not only we Soviet people who are rejoicing on the occa- sion of the great victories of socialism in our country. “Not only in countries friendly to us, there are mil- lions of people devoted to the Soviet Union, “Everywhere capitalism rules, it oppresses the working people, enslaves the working people of colonies and depen- dant states.
