Research Cooperation Needed, Conant Says

President Conant, speaking before the London School of Economics, urged greater Anglo-American cooperation on atomic research yesterday.

A joint commission to work out a real partnership on research was specifically suggested by Conant as the first step to restoring the cooperation that existed between the two countries during the last war.

Referring to the postwar disruption of Anglo-American exchange of atomic data, Conant said, "Troubles, misunderstandings and bad feelings on both sides might have been avoided by greater frankness at the outset.

"There is far too much malicious whispering on both sides of the Atlantic about the alleged carelessness of the British and the alleged hysteria ... in the United States."
