DISARMAMENT:
Every nation is spending lots and lots of money in maintaining an army in furnishing it with up to date weapons, and in producing highly powerful and destructive armaments such as the inter continental ballistic missile known shortly as I.C.B.M and the atom bomb. No nation however seems to fell safe for to other nations are progressing in this destructive ace for armaments.
Today the world is divided into two sharp camps or power blocs. One is the U.S.S.R and other communist countries and the other comprising the U.S.A. great Britain, France and their allies. The U.S.S.R and the U.S.A. have reached special heights of efficiency in the design and manufacture of powerful weapons. And though the two nations were allies in World War, they are now mutually suspicious of each order.
The United Nations, which was brought into existence on the ashes of the League of nations is seriously concerned with this problem. If by the slightest chance, my any nation provokes another to war there is no knowing what many happen in the next few hours. Atom bombs and I.C.B.M's may fly in all directions wreaking havoc on whole world affecting not only belligerent nations but also non-belligerent countries. So disarmament is talked of . Mutual suspicion the annihilating effects of a war, they are nevertheless now where near reaching an agreed and practical solution.
In between these two power blocs, exists another group of nations which may be called the neutral block. The leaders of those nations alive to the annihilatory effects of a global, war are bending their energies and efforts to bring the heads of the two blocs together in a bid to be non aligned to discuss this problem. Today strained relations between the U.S.S.R and U.S.A. impede such a meeting. But all the world hopes that, in a short time the forces of reason and good will will assert themselves and bring about a lasting solution to the problem of disarmament......
