Nations Study Stalin Statement Of No A-Bomb
(By United Press)
Joseph Stalin's reply to 31 questions on world affairs put to him by Hugh Baillie, United Press president, was being studied closely today by world leaders.
ONE: Russia does not have the atom bomb or any similar weapon.
The Russian premier's answers, received in London last night by Mr. Baillie, said in part:
TWO: The Soviet army has only 60 divisions in western Europe.
THREE: The most serious threats to world peace are "the incendiaries of a new war: foremost. Churchill and those who think like him in Great Britain and the United States."
FOUR: Russia has not used the veto power to excess.
Initial reaction of most diplomats was that Premier Stalin had opened the curtain on Soviet foreign relations, but most asked for time to study the replies.
FIVE: Tension is not increasing between the United States and Russia.
U. S. state department officials, privately encouraged by Premier Stalin's assertion of U.S.-Russian relations, said President Truman or Secretary of State James Byrnes would have to make official comment.
Alexander Parodi, French delegate to the U.N., said, "this looks like another of several signs of a more conciliatory relationship among the big powers."
