FRENCH NUCTLEAR TESTS
In a statement today, the Prime Minister said:
0 " The Government has reason to believe that
the Government of France has exploded today another
nuclear device in the Pacific.
The previous French tests have attracted
world-wide opposition. I am sure that this latest
test will be equally condemned. The Australian
SGovernment will take all appropriate steps to bring
to a halt these dangerous experiments, which are
carried out in defiance of law and morality."
