powder, lighting this fire missile and sending it off against enemies.

'Today, my dear Brennan, the same pool of native genius continues to exist in China. In our time, China has developed a corps of the finest nuclear scientists on earth. I speak of Dr. Chien San-chiang, who graduated from the University of Paris and was trained by Madame Curie in our Paris Laboratoire Curie. I speak of Wang Kan-chang, who studied in Germany and Russia and was deputy director of the Russian atomic research center, Dubna Institute, in 1959. I speak of the many Chinese nuclear physicists trained by 10,000 Russian scientists and technicians who visited China between 1950 and 1960. I speak of the 60,000 Chinese who were trained in the Chinese Academy of Sciences and similar schools. I speak of a new Chinese nation, one with great uranium resources that were mined at Tachang, in Sinkiang Province. I speak of a nation able to build gaseous diffusion plants at Sanchow and plutonium-producing reactors at Paotow. I speak of a nation so ambitious and determined that it was prepared to sacrifice the welfare of its population—the average man still earns only 500 francs, or less than $100 a year—in order to devote one and a half billion dollars to develop its first atomic bomb in an effort to win the respect and fear of a world that had so long despised and exploited it."

"Then you think the Chinese developed their first atomic bomb entirely on their own?" asked Brennan.

"No, no, not quite. Eventually they would have developed one, but they did so as quickly as they did because Russia and the United States helped them along. When Stalin thought of using Mao Tse-tung as a Communist puppet heading a Russian Communist satellite, he started China along the nuclear road. He gave the Chinese a heavy-water nuclear reactor and accelerators—intending these for peaceful uses—but China developed its first chain reaction in that reactor in 1958. In 1951 Stalin almost gave the Chinese a sample atomic bomb, but changed his mind. Still, Russia went on sending nuclear scientists and raw materials into China, even giving the Chinese jets and supersonic bombers until that day when the Soviets realized that China was determined to become Russia's equal as a military power. But your own United States, Brennan, trihutcd to

China's first bomb, long, long before the Varnev incident."
