During a discussion on disarmament at the meeting of the British Council of Churches at Lambeth Palace the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Geoffrey Fisher had words of praise for Soviet Premier Mr Nikita Khruschev.

“I am surprised that no Christian body has made any comment about Mr Khruschev’s disarmament statement which he made in America.

“No Christian could possibly have put forward a better plan than this. He asked for total disarmament and full control.
