How Can We Achieve World Peace? [1957]

MCKENZIE: How CAN we achieve world peace? That is the question which the three eminent men with me in the studio are going to discuss for the next half hour in London Forum. Bertrand Russell, the philosopher, needs no introduction to the General Overseas Service. He has written and said much on the dilemma which the hydrogen bomb places before us. Viscount Templewood, formerly Sir 20 Samuel Hoare, has had a unique experience as a statesman; between 1922 and 1940 he was in turn Secretary of State for Air, for India, for Foreign Affairs, for Home Affairs and again for Air. He served besides as Lord Privy Seal, as First Lord of the Admiralty and as an Ambassador; and finally we have Sir Charles Webster, who was first appointed to a professorial chair of history as long ago as 1914. Since then he has achieved a double reputation as a distinguished man of letters and as a diplomatic advisor to the Government. He played a considerable part in the setting up of the United Nations. Now gentlemen, can we hear first from Lord Russell what he feels are the essentials of this question-how can we 30 achieve world peace? Lord Russell?
