LARGIO ARREDONDO, Professor of Architecture from Chilt , wrote,

. . . I heartily greet the meeting of the International .Festival Committee which will organise a fcorld Festival of Youth and Students and I wish it full succes3. I think that the year 1954 must be finished with a demonstration of the possibilities of the youth and ^tudenta in the achievement of effective strengthening of friendship and understand nr not only between young men and women but particularly between the peoples to which they belong.

I think that the strongest and widest possibilities are that of the youth, because their joung strength and enthusfasm allow the expression of science, art and sports ...........

I hope that each delegation brings to Warsaw the best of cultural and sports achievements of their respective coun­tries. Then the v.orld of peace will be worthily represented there. "

(6) The council considered the r». ; rt by tho military aon- aittoo on the meet, cffoctivo pattern of N.A.T.O. ailitary defensive strength over tho next fc'w years, taking intc account modern developments in weapons and tc-chni ucc. It ^proved this report as a basis f.jr Jefence planningand prepjjrr.tione by tho N.A.T.O. nilitrry rtuthori ties, mting that this approval did not inVv lve the delegation of the responsibility of G 7cr nmebte to m-.ke clc'ci3ions f >r putting plana intc • cti n in Jh-- e^nt of hostilities,

(7) Thv council considered the report on tho annual review for 1954 which sct3 forth the coordinated N.A.T.O. dafence prucrannue for the next three years. The review was baaed on the council directive adoptedin December, 1953* that it would be necessary for member countries to sup­port over a lone period forces which, by their balanae, quality, and ef­ficiency, would’be a major factor in deterring agjrosaion,

Tho Ministors conoidcrod and accepted a3 military guidance a report by the military committee (jiving its comment cn the 1954 annual review. Thia report stressed that tho level o f forces for the defence of the N.A.T.O. area should be ntintrined as planned.

The council noted that there had boon an increase in tho strength of N.A.T.O. forces and further steady improvement in their ef­ficiency over the past year..Thia improvement in quality reaultod primarily from the lorgc-scalc oonbined exercises hold by N.A.T.O. land, son, and air fcces, from the increases in operational and support unite, frrw tho supply of large quantities of new equipnent.

The council expressed ita aatisfaction at tho expansion of European production of dafenot equipment as well as the continued provision of North Ancrican equipnent, and urgod continued cooperation in roaoaroh and development. ~ ' 1

Following the recowsendationa made in the annual review report, the council adopted firm force goale for 19 5 5* provisional eoala fa r .1956 , and planning; goals for 1957• Th* forood goals agreed upon for 1995 cXQ'ot about the soae numerical atrongth aa thoac for 1954r but further iaprr»r*- menta in training, equipment, and offeo^ivencaa are providod for, !?hc Crem^n defenoe contribution under the Paris cv/roementa reaaina, in tfto opinion of the co^noil, an indispensable addition to the dofcnoa of the weet. r

“Coaiaontinf; on this decisi n (the N.A.T.O. Ccmnuniqu6 - Ed.)M.

^,, • But the deflagration would havs eraa *ore horrible and more widespread offcote. A creat part of the ctty affected by the bomb would bfe Vaporised and- blown out in the form of a very radio-active dust which aoulA fall on’ fhc countryside within a zone of scvsral hundred miles and would produce effects similar to those cf which tho Japanese fishermen Cave been the vicftims, but cn on infinitely creator ccale^

• While tho rr.dio-r.ctive offocts weulJ be very serious on would kill a crea.t number of persons after havinc oc.de them svffor for months and months, tho oontneinat-cn itself would not last vory lonj, and human belnc» oould cg;nlu inhabit the bombed scctor vazy quickly without beinc in doatfer^Oftc coiA-\.f however, increase am’ prol3ne deliberately the radio-cotivo offeots for a lonj period, by enclosing th<: hydrogen bomb in a larc^ envelopo of a oertain metal, cobalt,*

In this case, instoad of disappearing at the er.J of esveral days, radio-activity would persist for sereic-l years. Everywhere that tho radio-active ocbe.lt dust would be deposited, a31 lifd noul'J bc-come totally impossible. All thr.t lives - ncn or beast, bird or insect, .Trass or tree - and which did not ti -lould not ler.ve this seator, woulil be annihilated,

A tomb of this ,-owcr and this mo£el, enclosed in oobalt, would croate conditions of total dcvr.station within a zone of about J20 miles from the centcr of the cjri.lositr.»

H is £. the Hy£r ,-en Bonb

If a hydrojen bomb of the power of that described above were dropped on Ioneon, there wjuld be hardly any survivors of the 5 or 6 million persons living vdthin a 16 nile zone fiou the center of the explosion.Even theco rbo eurvivo the defloration would bo blockaded under mountains of ruins.

It is prnctioally certain that terrible firrc would ravage the site of the 4oflelation, eliminating any posaibility for aid, even i f the necessary aid teams were available. In any case, the intensity cf tho rr.dio-activity wuuld be such that, during* a certain tine, it would make tho devastated zone equivalent to a suicide for aid teams#

^ However, around this ro&ion of about 750 square miles, millions of people would survive the initial deflagration, A number of them would be severely burned by having been directly exi-osed to tho hoat of tho explosion. Others, in tho onormous fires which would ravaje the region up to a distanco of about 40 miles from the centre of the explosion, would inwwltably bo severely burned. Numerous persons would be mjursd by shat­tered Gla«S and tho collapse of hou?ose All, becaiiee of their exposure to it f would suffer from the effects of the intense radioactivity carried by the dust spreading from the centre of the explosion,

Larue numbers of people w.uld pe'rish in trying U floe. As to infirm or blinu persons as ■Sell as ^children, thfcir chances ofsurvirinc,tho explosion, if they fine thc*ecIves within a zone of 40 . miles from the contra of the explosion, would really be very snail.But nu»orv.u8 persons would, no doub^ susVEBQi 'tfrflxnrtfig, re*ohinpc di tance whcro thay consider thcmsdroi lrSafsM# j£ooordino -o that which has bean shown on the uubjeot of the dtstanoea in which tho ra£io-aotive 4m * can sproud, this "safe" aroa noulif'heve to be situated at least Hi"1 milos from the contrc? of the explosion, , *.v

If the hydrocen bomb core onolosed in mi envelope df cobalt and- if three Or four such bombs were cropped at the same tine in other p<jrtB of the fnited Kingdom, tfcere would exist no rocion in the British Isles which could be considered as beinj outside cf the danger zoix;, -• Ouat Great country woul ’ cease to cxiarto.

Lot us suppose,-however, that cobr.lt iae not used and that a sinclx bomb was dropped on the London region. Several million wounded would need car*®. Numerous would be those who weald have fractured arvl sauiehod iictbs and deep cute. Still noxe nu&ar us would he those having MTO'fl burns, who would need tronsfuciins of >lood and i laser, in order avoid ncrvcus shock, antibiotics, in order to stojj infection, and important akin grafts. All would suffer in a certain measure from the offectp of the rddio-activc wovos, although many would not notice them at first. The cffecte of radio--active waves are inaidiaus, they do not involve ioaeciatc trouble, oven if the patient has been exposed to a fatal quantity of radio-activity.

But after a certain time, the following symptoms bcL.in to appear; vonittinc, diarrhea, falling hair. Two or three weeks after having been exposed to the r .dio-active waves, the rr'.-st serious cases would be affected by throat infections, internal hemorrhages, extremely painful uloer3, severe anemic and nutritive troubles. Death can follow in a lapse of time which varies from ten days to throe n. nthc after the patior.t had been exposed to the rays.

If the patient3 , at th« efad of three months, survive the effccts of the radio-active rays, they will probably be cured, liut many will afterward be stricken by s.;ir cancers, and if they have breathe- thj radio -L.ctive Just, by cancers f various internal or -ana.
