	Description:	MS Conservative Prime Minister, Sir Anthony Eden, addressing the Conservative Party Conference on political situation and the future of atomic energy in this country. "It was with this end in mind that we put forward to Geneva a plan for a 5 power pact, to give confidence and security to all. Finally, looming over everything, there is nuclear warfare and the hydrogen bomb. The bomb, which has compelled the nations to talk against a terrifying backdrop of universal destruction. There of course is the problem of supervision, control which is so important. Many ideas have been canvassed, but I don’t think that any one country has found a final solution yet. We’ve put forward constructive ideas on several occasions; no doubt they can be improved. Well we’re ready at any time to discuss them and other thoughts and projects to find a solution, as we must do. Well now Ladies and Gentlemen, peace in the modern world is closely associated with defense. I’ve always held, that the build up the defensive military strength of the West would improve international situation. I’m sorry it’s turned out, it was the conclusion of the Paris agreement, whether some people like it or not. It was the conclusion of those agreements that made the Geneva talks possible at all. (Applause) And one certain way to reverse the process of easing tension would to slacken our defense effort and try to negotiate from weakness. Madam Chairman we have no intention of doing anything at of the kind as long as the responsibility lies with us." (Applause)
