It is felt here as elsewirere that this most deadly menace ever con- ceived by man must in some way be brought under international control. That is the colossal job that is pre• sented to the United, Nations. The • existence of ,man's control over atomic , energy will increase the incentive_ to make. the ,San Francisco charter a genuinely powerful organization for the maintenance of world peace with the - *full.
