NATO at crossroads as Pearson seeks closer unity
Lester Pearson told the English Union in London that NATO cannot live on fear and must pursue closer political unity without weakening defense. He urged the NATO Council to become a more effective body for consultation and cooperation. The U S FBI reported a slight drop in major crimes in 1955, but Hoover called the decline negligible. Western European socialist leaders backed a European nuclear energy pool and a six-nation common market with faster integration. Chinese researchers claim to have bred the world’s largest silkworm for durable silk, developed at the China Research Institute in Canton Province.
