It was learned that the Ken- |nedy administration has made [provision for quick resumption of testing should the president ahead with its own tests amid rumors that China also was get- ting ready to join the select list of nations with nuclear weapons. GOES AHEAD The Soviet government, in a 6,000-word statement, Wednes- day night ended negotiations and announced it was going ahead with testing. More than that, Khrushchev told his scientists to try out new weapons ranging up to bombs with a force of 100,000,000 tons of TNT.

DISCUSS RED THREAT 'Tragic Step OTTAWA (CP)--The cabinet met today to discuss Russia's announced intention of resum- ing nuclear tests. Prime Minister Diefenbaker, who Wednesday night described the Russian announcement as tragic and retrograde, declined comment on it this morning when he went to the meeting. "I'll. have something to say after I've discussed it with my colleagues," Mr, Diefenbaker said. Canadian diplomats at home and abroad were on the alert, watching for reaction in other capitals, particularly those of [the uncommitted nations of Af- rica and Asia.

WOULD BE SETBACK "I can only say it would be a retrograde and even tragic step if testing is resumed," he told a reporter, "It would mean a serious setback for the achieve- ment of disarmament, which is ervation of peace." External affairs department officials expressed shock and concern, Russia's intention to resume nuclear tests made its advocacy of a nuclear ban as part of a general disarmament agree- ment sound hollow, they said. The announcement, one of them noted, came hard on the heels of a new United States proposal in Geneva negotiations for a nuclear test treaty, which he described as a sincere effort to make quite substantial con- cessions. | "This certainly reveals how hollow their stated position has | en."

ACTION SHOCKING Britain called the Soviet ac. tion shocking and cynical. Its foreign secretary, Lord Home, in an unusual personal state- ment, said the Soviet announce. ment "contemptuously ignores the desires of ordinary people everywhere." Moscow's decision also came as a shock to the 24 non-aligned nations beginning a session in Belgrade which will deal with the Berlin question and other cold war problems. A member of Prime Minister Nehru's delegation said of the Soviet announcement: "What a sad thing for them to do." Nehru himself commented: "I'm against nuclear testing any time, anywhere." Others called Khrushchev's action unbelievable -- but a spokesman for the Indonesian government said the move re- flects the explosive world situa- tion. Investigate Collision Of Liners MONTREAL (CP)--Board of inquiry has been ordered to ine vestigate the collision Wednes- day of the Cunard liner Carin. thia and the cruise ship Tadous- sac. ie The 22,000 - ton liner and the smaller, wooden river ship side swiped each other in the St. Lawrence off Deschambault, about 30 miles east of Quebec City. No ore was injured. The Carinthia suffered little more than scraped paint along her bow, but the Tadoussac had several lifeboats and three cab- ins demolished. The ships were moving slowly through fog and darkness when they collided. There were 873 passengers en route for Montreal aboard the Carinthia. and was let out of the hospital just in time to bring her back "Army Pe BERLIN (AP) West since the Communists ported today.

There was some indication that External Affairs Minister Green was prepared to try strongly to arrest any Canadian move to add to the nuclear world buildup. The government's position in the last 18 months has been that no decision should be taken on acquisition of. nuclear weap- ons while there was still some hope of progress in the dis- armament field.
