Even if Soviet diplomat and jurist Andrei Y. Vishinsky was indulging in a spree of tall-tale-telling when he announced that Soviet Union at the moment is "razing mountains" and "irrigating deserts," his speeches had one sharply realistic aspect. The speech dramatized the fact that the core of Moscow's opposition to the majority atomic-control scheme lies in the proposal to put under international ownership and management the actual physical development of atomic-energy resources. If Soviet Union has not yet melted mountains or opened waterways wider than the English Channel, it intends to hang on to the power to do so at its sovereign will.
