Had discussions with' Gruenther and Norstad regarding the big and little problem. It is Gruenther* s view that the reason for this propaganda was to take attention off the previous cliche of massive retaliation in the place of'our own choosing* When this was associated with fallout it tended towards creating panic especially when considered in the small war, Gruenther admits he had never considered that the little bombs designed to deal with military targets would be considered morally and tend to imply that the big ones would therefore be immoral,* He fully appreciates i that any such interpretation might have serious effects on political decision regarding the use of such weapons* I emphasize that we were concerned lest this propaganda might be considered by the Russians as an indication that we would hesitate to Use the big •'. bomb in a global war* Therefore this would have a serious effect on the deterrent power, Gruenther immediately realised the force of this arguj&nent. He is to see Dulles on the seventh of May and is going to raise this issue with him particularly the moral side and the deterrent. He suggested that perhaps Mr, Pearson may wish also to raise it if he-has more informal talk^s with Mr» Dulles* I have.passed this information to BrownJohn who is returning.to UK tomorrow. , . . \ • ' • o •80167/BW/2816852?
