To say that she can build such an electrical capacity in a few years is like saying that she could duplicate General Motors and Du Pont ; in a few years. Both are equally ab-surd to contemplate. : -- well-know- es FURTHERMORE, it is about time we recognizedthe fact that the nuclear device tested by China and the plant which produced the. relatively small quantities of enriched uranium, were not built "by China but mostly by Russia. It is known that Russia and China had concluded a nuclear assistance pact, which was not abrogated until 1959. This means that for almost ten years China had the advantage of Russian scientists and technicians in building herjitomic plant This point should be emphasized, in counterpacting the propaganda that an Asiatic, nation had at last produced a nuclear device. All the facts indicate that it was Russia and not China that was largely responsible. . This, of course, does not mean that the Chinese are intellectually or otherwise Inferior.
