Walt, associate professor of chemistry of the University of Texas, who worked two years on development of the atomic bomb, believes the secret should be shared with the United Nations because "it will only be a few years until the scientists of the other antions develop the bomb for themselves." Dr. Watt said he felt the United States has more to gain In revealing the secret to the United Nations than by withholding it, since continued secrecy would constitute only a short range gain. "If the United Nations organization is going to be one capable of preserving peace, complete trust must be shown by aH the Allied Nations," he said. "It would certainly be a gesture in the right direction if we make thsi information available." The fact that the discovery has been made means that it will be made again, and scientists will reach the same results in other nations in the future even if we do not give them the secret now, Dr Watt said.
