NEXT: THE COBALT
Reliable reports reveal the United States is now
capable of producing a cobalt bomb, which is far more
deadly than the hydrogen bombs exploded in the Pa
cific in March and April. The cobalt bomb is actually
a hydrogen bomb encased in a shell of cobalt.
On being vaporized in an explosion, cobalt, un
like steel which has been used in the past, is trans
formed into a radio-active cloud of far more pene
trative strength than radium.
The cloud is said to be able to travel thousands
of miles and covers an area hundreds of miles in dia
meter. It is this type of bomb which has been termed
the greatest threat to civilization and this is the bomb
Einstein said might annihilate life on earth.
One diffculty aibout the weapon is the fact that
it cannot be tested in the Pacific, or anywhere else
in the world, because of the deadly consequences.
However, it is reliably reported U.S. scientists learned
enough in the recent hydrogen bomb test to build the
cobalt bomb and maintain it ready for use, even though
no tests are made with it.
The advent of this third atomic bomb casts a
threat over humanity which has never been equalled
in the history of the human face. Even if the atomic
and hydrogen bombs did not make it evident that
atomic warfare cannot be permitted on this earth, the
arrival of the cobalt bomb makes it obvious that such
weapons must not be used in any new war.
These new weapons, which actually stagger the
imagination, can either be the downfall of civilization,
or light the way to a new era of industrial development.
The present generation is in the unique position
of being responsible for the course to be followed. The
choice, even among aggressors, should not be hard
to make.

Molotov Agrees
Asia for Asians
Is Best Policy
GENEVA, W!—Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov told the
Geneva conference Thursday he
agrees entirely with the Asia-for
Asians declaration of Chinese
Communist Foreign Minister Chou
En-Lai.
Molotov, in his first policy
speech before the 19-nation con
ference, said a peaceful solution
of the Korean problem can be
found if the delegates proceed
“from the principle that the peo
ples of Asia have the full right to
settle their affairs themselves.”
“Other states, the participants
of the Geneva Conference,” he
said, “are called upon to assist the
Asian peoples in this respect by
their friendly efforts.”
Molotov spoke after Australian
Foreign Minister Richard Case}
told the conference some United
Nations troops may have to re
main in Korea until the divided
peninsula is unified under demo
cratic government. Many diplo
mats here are convinced this may
never happen—at least not in the
near future.
On the whole the speech was
mild and notable for the absence
j of personal attacks on Western
I political figures, but Molotov did
assail the United States for what
he called its “aggressive course.”
“As far as the United States of
America is concerned,” he said,
“the government of the country
is openly pursuing an aggressive
course in regard to the Chinese
People’s Republic. This aggres
sive course of the U.S.A. at the
same time is affecting the whole
situation in Asia.”
