ABSTRACT

Through the deliberate action of the governments of the great Powers of East and West, it becomes every day less likely that there will be live men and women in the world at the end of the present century. Ever since the danger became evident, governments have done everything possible to increase it. Fifteen years ago, the atom bomb shocked the world. Now it is called a ‘tactical weapon’ and considered puny. The H-bomb followed. Everybody argued that it must not be allowed to spread to the Powers which did not yet have it, since this would increase the danger of nuclear war. Ever since this was said, it has spread, and it continues to spread.
