fb riverside radio presents the nineteen sixty to guarantee peace awards honor does
this year's winners were linus pauling nobel prize winner in chemistry from pasadena california and a noted author james p warburg again the these awards were established two years ago by promoting enduring peace incorporated a non political religious and educational organization the group's objectives are to stimulate an awareness of international issues and to foster public action for the establishment of world aids previous winners include eleanor roosevelt and indeed all bird immediate past president of the national council of churches john hames homes minister emeritus of the community church of new york and maurice eyes and rough president of the union of american hebrew congregations the first speaker we hear is the reverend hold a bustling minister of christchurch methodist in new york city you'll be followed by a representative from the indian delegation to the united nations speaking foreign person or a trucker party including the program will be the actual presentation of the awards
and the acceptance speeches on it all this in less hackneyed phrases imaginable is this message are the peacemakers yet as we think about this we realize that in days like these peacemakers need to make peace among themselves we had the greatest difficulty getting peacemakers don't agree on anything but these i suppose that you could imagine and i suppose of that is understandable because we have different motivations some of us in odd time are interested in peace because we want to save our own that and the next omar involved in what's going on these days what iran's money that may be if it's as ss officers saving is on that i'll be glad to work with him and there is the man who works for peace because he
considers himself to be a moral man he does not reduce morality in any deep religious inside our doctrine it's desire for peace roots in his concept of the human family he does not raise questions about the origin of the human family its essential nature its relationship to the universe as an integral part he's a member of the human family and that's what he was about he seeks those things that the pullman and rich and preserve that relationship is interested in peace he seeks a world community based upon justice and brotherhood and that's all to the good there are those of us who are interested in taste because we believe that it represents an essential application of a nature of god whom we believe to be low this is a concept which the christian theologians has given some prominence making its fundamental that
happens to be the approach to know the meaning of peace that song the first and i went to the university of chicago for my divinity school training it had not occurred to me that there was anything of real american pacifism as such i had heard the speaker is in the habit of a common go all through my college career i've sat at the feet of germany and many others of his kind who had lectured us in this regard i was moved by their humanitarian impulse but it seemed to me the nature of man was such we could not hope for peace but conflict was about a man's nature it was not until longer the pounding of philosophical theology and coming to terms with this notion that we live in a universe where
elmo on this is an abstraction there are no things that are alone in this universe everything that is is a part of something else and everything that is alive has come to its stature of maturity is a living thing and virtue of its relationship with something else trying to come to terms with some of the basic concepts of whitehead and various other thinkers it seemed to me that the christian concept of low at there is that in this universe which makes for a mutuality which makes for community which makes all on this and a marriage and a depth and the persuasiveness i'd never dreamed possible i began to work at it and the longer i worked at the more convinced i became that the only reasonable way to describe the fundamental character the universe is not to say that the audience but that god is love
and then try to find out what the implications are i'm not going to argue the theological point now i'm simply saying that for many of us this represents the driving frosts in our concern for peace we believe that the peacemaker is placid not because he happens to feel good because he may not feel that much of the talk but he's blessing because he represents a really new instrument in their hands and in the heart of an impulse and the drive and the fact that is bigger and deeper into our more eternal than anything he'd ever think to be or do we're trying to get at something which is fundamental if somebody's love then love represents the fundamental character of these universities that be true then love is the most powerful thing in the world and those things which seals relationship would seek to embody and are starting to weigh in if we can ever total up any victory in terms of what men
do but when we speak of the peacemaker being blessed and we're talking from where i as i understand it we are talking in terms of a man who has found peace in various levels he begins not by finding peace within himself sometimes we get locked up in awesome inside ourselves and never get out and we simply stolen on jonas salk but this is not a state a blessedness if this isn't estate and damnation i've never heard it says privacy in an operation a peacemaker begins with a realization that he must make his peace with that which is fundamentally true if god be loved and peacemaking begins with a man's coming to terms with the gao the fundamental character of his purpose a meaningful life at that point then a man feels at home in his world is fighting is where he's trying to
find his place in the world and be once ruled that which is mostly pedro and find all and worthy though he may be some kind of articulation in terms of the problems he most famous peacenik and begins there is blasted that is if he is one on the low the hand of god has been laid in a special like and that is the meaning of the word or less and an unless it means that we better not used a redefined it in such a fashion that we understand each other in the use of it manhood begins that doesn't stop where you can't he must find peace with his neighbor all his neighbors because they have to be long and i've asked producers of golf and if god we love and it is essential part as the mention live together in community in sharing an understanding as simply no possibility of a manned knowing what we mean by peace with god if
there is a tidal wave of enmity between him and his brett for a man who hates his brother we have it on good if it has no business bringing anything to the altar he'd better lay down what he's trying to put on the altar before he ever gets they're going make his peace with his brother when he places on the altar will be wasted we're dealing with fundamentals in human relationships here we are dealing with men as god intends them to be in terms of our human relationship as it is pre figured in god's will for men plus it is the men who sees that and you can find a fulfillment of his life in terms of those relationships because they are fundamentally not because he thought them up not because by majority vote he decided they would be fundamental they are fundamental because life is a city a
peacemaker is one of those families with himself he knows who yes i think the most but that egan revealing line in modern the modern states is to be found in the death of a salesman and willy loman last separated from everything that he's counted on what's around him of the world and fight him and says i i i've got a right to know who i am he did we ignore the willie mullins of the world had a right to know we are but we'll never find him except as we find ourselves as an integral part of something other and bigger than ourselves in terms of which we find characters only to lose ourselves we cannot find peace with ourselves simply by crawling off in a corner and turning our back on the world and pretending it isn't there a bit it's a never never world we're living in it's a case in action it's a piece in terms of the conflict it's
that kind of involvement of oneself no matter what the cost at a point where life may become more meaningful there's no such thing as a private meaningful life it's probably good charitable are there is no meaning it's accepting its finding on finding the meaning of one's life in terms of this outreach that makes for this consciousness are doing something bigger than yourself more important than you are something of last long after any other thing you may do will basically ask me to wrap it up in a single illustration what it is we're trying to do and i think i can do it in terms of something that happened in our own home we have in our family for boys and wonder the little girl get some attention from her brother's i'm very objective about reports by lindsay was seven years
of age there was again she played that i suppose little girls a plane from the beginning of time she would dress in a mother's clothes that's long at it into that and business and go outside boston once the doorbell and i had the traitorous company i'm a little embarrassed at one so young music company gotten different treatment from anyone else around the place but that's par for the course for all of us i think annie that the roads of the game or rich i could not by so much as a word or an inference in the cake that she wasn't only gotten dearly beloved daughter she was a visitor happen to be in the neighborhood stop in to see it i would sort of a charter company sets in we would talk about the things you can talk about with their guard half up whether that kind of business after a while she would remind me that you always are visitors refresh it wrestles up and bring them in and that maybe we can
still as she would cope with their nigger day stand and say she would have to be going now next time she was in the neighborhood she dropped in and see us again and i would invite your most cordially to do so jordan the door she be back in just a moment with our dignity and we would enjoy with a good laugh i like the game i don't know what happened to it but something did she broke it off when they arrive in the military field i said i don't ever want to play this game again i don't visit here i live here we're trying to create by the grace of god a kind of war over every human being fields of tall where every human being walks the face of the earth with freedom with dignity with a sense of belonging god who created this will not let this rest until i kind of the world has been brought into existence and it's a high privilege for me to be able to be here tonight and to pay my tribute to gandhi for all what he's meant to all of
us and recall that precious moment when i stood at his tomb in new delhi last fall to pay my tribute to these men who are being awarded tonight the gandhi or had to give my word of deep appreciation to all who have helped me in the long and far from conclusive journey in the service of peaks that journey will go on so long as men fight each other there will be no rest for us and we shouldn't seat there's work to do ladies and gentlemen mr zuckerman they asked me to read this baby's messages on his because he says i had hoped to be president at this occasion personally to join in being like
to lose today we're the disappearance all the gandhi be sold but circumstances beyond my control have kept me away it is going to fight to reduce cds eminent men being honored with an award named often done it is indeed most appropriate that the name of gandhi should be thinking man at this moment of des moines and crisis not by bundy's message off not going to let bill through only for those who are prepared to follow his straight and narrow bar if the road would have followed his doctrine or might have been ruled out unfortunately it does not seem that the word is yet ready before the spot if we got a wide a nuclear disaster we have no alternative today but before that will be spent on violence that will is there
for them or indeed off this message of gandhi it is the duty of everyone are more humble developer spend it in the best of his capacity so that he's a baby milk or have the wisdom to accept this pa that is the end of the message was to the center's deceiving thank you very much and it is a war is something that it just that fits all possible specifications i stood one afternoon on the great concrete slab there in delhi which was the you're tired of the state and it as i stood there was i was there because if you approach you come to a flight of steps and before you essential steps you remove your shoes and i stood there and watched for
several moments while lowly citizens of indian men women old young obviously from several different parts of that great country came to lay dead tribute sunflowers to bow and say a word a prayer and i sensed the reason why he is referring to many so seventy votes or places as a non pga and in memory of teaching the beloved of god that we have arranged to present annually beginning in nineteen sixty what we designate as the year
diane de peace award this award has been presented in previous years to mrs eleanor roosevelt dr edmund g dahlberg rabbi maurice and eyes and draft the reverend dr john james holmes and this cd is our privilege to present this award to dr light as seagoing and to james p water it is my privilege to remind you although it is certainly quite unnecessary to do so to remind you that the lee's innovation linus pauling has contributed to the welfare of mankind the harnessing
together of the two rushing steeds that he has been able to control and direct into an appropriate channels is a ask that very few men are able to perform what he has performed oh splendid his contribution to the knowledge i have that the chemical behavior out the matter and energy in our world it makes him an outstanding guest one of the great scientists of our day i mean just remind you that he was given one of the nobel prizes in nineteen fifty four this is a public building where emotions so eighteen human beings rather than in the cold light of the laboratory where
reason is supposed to prevail here and i was falling it's also made his contribution you know how he has stood up against the greed opposition regardless of the dna ways that people are trying to silence and he has continued to speak out and we are proud indeed that he has done so i don't suppose if anyone who has it been so influential in driving the facts of life and death concerning their nuclear physics and chemistry and the radioactive isotopes that are a company the nuclear reactions it is indeed game that can be done the piece that
one of the true gun be peace awards for nineteen sixty two should be presented for the finest see paul that his name will be added to the list of names on the very interestingly in big cover art history which is here as the head of it as the symbol of the downbeat peace award from seoul linus pauling begun the peace a lot in recognition of the great humanitarian contribution about to land and sea polling winner of the nobel prize in other awards for his scientific achievements his
late has been constantly contributing to the calls of peace and understanding around the world was awarded presented on this first day of november nineteen sixty two i congratulate you and i know that all of us would like very much to listen to your words of wisdom on the last lap i deeply appreciate it that's on there how i i'm glad to have the opportunity to to say something about peace and about morality and i think i must talk about to the facts about the nature of the world in which we live now so it's something that i have specialized in what sort of a world that we've been living in yemen since
nineteen fifty four and his world is different from the world before nineteen fifty four it was on the first of march nineteen fifty four that the first time greater tomorrow it was tested in the us but in a tragic megaton bomb obama three straight bomb with the explosive power of forty million tons of tnt less than a ton of explosive material in this one bomb but such a materialist to develop an explosive power and forty million times about a high explosive t and g seven times about of all the explosives used in the whole of the second world war a sense than not only the united states
but the soviet union under great return have manufactured bonds of this start possibly france has storefronts has not got tested one of these bombs that make up the modern world one of these bombs can destroy and martin go along way toward destroying any city on earth one party megaton bomb the soviet union has explored of a fifty seven mega time bomb and a number of others only thirty to forty megaton range were probably because one an intercontinental ballistic missile can carry a bigger democratic megaton bomb can carry a hundred megaton bomb i believe a hundred and i see beyond some russian i see beyond scripture a one hundred hundred megaton bombs a total of ten thousand times it might be interesting to ask don't know what to have the capacity for destruction is in the world
today you can't find the exact answer to this question two years ago at the time six large conference the scientists there from the united states and the soviet union and many other countries that down the figure sixty thousand mega tome says the world's stockpile of nuclear weapons we know that the stockpile has been doubling every year now for many years in fact for the last seventeen years doubling every year in the am out of explosive available and my estimate those that we have the united states two hundred thousand megatons of nuclear weapons and that the soviet union has let's say fifty thousand but at times when we're quarters much i don't know whether this is a pure guess about the soviet union in the case of the united states i know what the capacity of the country owes for plutonium production it has been released i know how much lithium give her ripe
for the second stage is available year after year how much ordinary uranium metal is available to constitute the third stage of the bomb that is not unreasonable that there'd be two hundred thousand metric tons in our stockpile moreover we have seventeen hundred bombers b forty seven speech of teachers and fifty eights that can tell a fifteen megatons of bombs approximately fifteen minute tons of bombs impeach the piece fifty times seventeen hundred do's how much shoe eighty five thousand let's see fifty time seventeen hundred eighty five thousand mad at times we have tens of thousands of other delivery vehicles for matt and our episodes on missiles polaris missile the fighter bombers in addition to the seventeen hundred s a c bombers by the thousands tens of thousands of
vehicles that can carry medical records so that we might well be able to put down all two hundred thousand metric tons in the air that was announced yesterday that the recent series of atmospheric tests by the united states has been very successful in permitting the ratio of weight to explosive power can be decreased our sec bombers instead of tearing fifty megatons or bomber may well be able to carry one hundred pounds or bomber family their future and if our stockpile bubbles are going to four hundred thousand medicaid and say we might not need to increase the amount of delivery vehicles in order to deliver or to start to deliver four hundred thousand migrants some of course you can't stop rockets after they got underway but that it might be possible to shoot down some bombers before
they reach close enough to their goal for other moms to be very effective but four hundred thousand two hundred thousand megatons is a tremendous amount with explosive and fifty thousand this is the about the soviet union has ten thousand megatons that i've mentioned as a being a deliverable by one hundred i see beyond switches soviet union may not possess they may not have a hundred hundred megaton bombs tremendous series of it explosions a big nuclear weapons and no doubt have many thousands of megatons of bombs that have tested about five hundred bank accounts you know there was a time we were there is education about the damage done to people and human germ class and just by the testing of nuclear weapons and a bomb test agreement might have been made they're two and a half years ago two years ago one and a half years ago it was
not that the soviet union resumed to nuclear testing on the second set number nineteen sixty one the united states resumed to nuclear test and during the last four dean months more than twice as many bombs have been explored the girls in all previous seventeen year years i used to be in the report of the federal radiation council consisting of some members of the prostitutes cabinet chairman of the dc and others give it that give information about her biological effects of radioactive fallout and carbon fourteen to estimate what i think the most probable toll of the bomb tests carried out so far is my estimate has sixteen million john brennan warned children and rosalee damage that has a highway on certain estimates might be much larger a much smaller and more than two thirds of that because of the tests carried out in the last fourteen months i think that the
city involves a tremendous size with exercise of tomorrow on the part of the two great nations of the world that the bomb test agreement was not made and these bomb tests were carried out it is known that the unborn children are damaged just how many is highly uncertain my estimate of sixteen million maybe ten times too high or ten times too and of course it has spread out over many generations so the truth is difficult to point to any child born this year or next year and say this is the result of this damage this defective child exist because of the bomb tests have been carried out i wish that the nations of the world would become world would accept the same principles of more out the individual human beings and foremost our success and i believe that they are going to do and that nations
and groups of people that people would constitute nations are going to give out it had this suffocation it's immoral selfishness of that constitutes a nationalist sentiment patriotism and that is responsible for so much suffering in the world i think we are forced now to abandon the great immortality of war and that is this and to cooperate with one another throughout the whole world and its moral purpose of the greatest of all mr oliver is the prostitutes the major mr aleksei of nations i shall be happy when the us goal is achieved the miners and more our way out of the bomb tests a sacrifice and sixty million children from sixteen million this may be considered a minor immortality compared with the major mr aleksei of preparing to
wager a nuclear war that could mean possibly mean the end of the human race would with little that mean the end of the united states as a nation and the death of the american people all of them essentially all the end of the soviet union the death of the soviet people suppose the ten thousand metric tons of weapons were to be delivered over the united states and exploded what would be the result scientists doctors everett interview we're the ones who's figures i shall quote but others have made similar estimates there are ten thousand megaton attack sixty days afterward a hundred seventy five million of the hundred eighty five million american people would gather a million injured two million uninsured having to cope with the problems of complete destruction of our metropolitan areas will surface and that brought various all means of communication and transportation death on all livestock
gross radioactive contamination of all growing foods that would be the end of our nation twenty thousand tons would do the job for the soviet union that we have i believe two hundred thousand metric tons of the capabilities of delivering a major party the sales slowed over and over again there's really no i'm sure that i right in saying that there has been no rational consideration of the question of what is the size of the nuclear stockpile a deliverable amount of nuclear weapons that the united states should have a why is it that we have as dr ralph lap sells at twenty five times overkill capability is not the rational not reasonable so long to seize weapons exist there's a possibility that our nation will be destroyed along with much of the rest of the world that all of the american people will be killed we're and greater danger than
ever before and we had been in the greatest danger in the history of the world just during the last ten days the new york times held dictatorial a couple of days ago if i can find the fourth quarter of the new york times in which the fifteen was made that we have passed through are passing through a crisis that has brought the two great nuclear power says as close to annihilate a bomb or as they have ever been and the new york times says now is the time to make real progress in general the storm there's no reason why the bomb test agreement should not have been made to talk about the inspection was insignificant we all know that the soviet union which is exported two and a
half times as many bombs in medical images the united states about to vote less than a half about a third of the number of bombs has been interested only in the great box that could destroy the united states and not in small moments of the start of that might be used to mine or worse if there would be an a minor worse in the future the sort that might possibly be tested secretly underground this isn't a danger we have passed through a period when the threat of nuclear war has been used as an instrument of national palace by the united states by our president rejecting other means that might have been used to achieve the same end an appeal to the united nations said there's the possibility that this threat would have liked a nuclear
war and two the death of the american people the end of our nation we may ask why why didn't president day to threaten to take this mr cb jackson publisher of life magazine so we must and i think that he did because statements may give the answer we must to exert leadership in the world whether people love us for a yacht or not the united states has taken way back leading the cold war we now have the economy back on its heels and he said there will not be a global war because of the communist world is more afraid of war than we are and i believe that this is what the president's
advisers said to him mr khrushchev will not respond to a threat of nuclear war by comparison but christophe says they sigh and rational man who does not want the soviet union to be destroyed and all the soviet people don't even know at the same time the united states would be destroyed and the american people killed and so it is safe to use the threat of nuclear war for any political purpose this is dangerous cardinal cushing approved the action of the president and so every time we have stood up to khrushchev he has backed down well if the time comes when he doesn't back down of cardinal cushing will be better than the rest of us will be done but perhaps something else will happen
we now in the united states have to do it in accordance with the principles of militarism i believe that there is no dispute between nations that justifies nuclear war like the threat of nuclear war the premier khrushchev remains in a position of power in the soviet union what will happen when the neo stalinists take over well then when the threat of nuclear war effort but if this does occur comes from the soviet union the president may be the rational man who saves the world we can't continue on this course is the most followed we have
to abandon this means negotiating between nations by the threat of nuclear war is too dangerous and we rely on the states i believe that we have suffered one of the most the greatest the damages to our nation that ever occurred in the history of the united states one month ago we were applying pressure on cuba there was much talk about the possibility the invasion of cuba we have of course nuclear weapons basis in on the orders of the soviet union and turkey and near the soviet union and in other countries where there are nuclear weapons in short range an intermediate range missiles with nuclear warheads not much talk about them the soviet union had responded very vigorously president
eisenhower's proposal that nuclear weapons be turned over to nato for the german generals are the ones who are closest to being you in command now what has happened the soviet union is withdrawing rockets from cuba we had promised that cuba will not be invaded by the united states or by any other nation in the western hemisphere the world's attention has been drawn to the presence of our bases in turkey italy and west germany and that may well be that some action will have to be taken about them in the future i think that these results could have been achieved by negotiation a peaceful negotiation through the united nations but something else has happened to the united states has labeled now as a nation that real risk the death of the american
people and hundreds of millions of other people in the world risk of destruction of our nation as a nation by threatening nuclear war using their tourism as a means of regaining an ailment rather than a healing to the united nations and khrushchev to a great many people in the world has the same to the stature of the world's leader who is rational and who protects the world against nuclear war years working for peace i believed them that we have lost because us policy i think that was a lot russia russian militarists is that because president candidate to take this action but rather the militarists in the united states and president obama has not been able to get under
control and i would say the american people who perhaps it largely because of the ignorance of fact sent nuclear war the nature of the world that we live in and have not they are sufficiently vigorous in calling to the attention of our government we know that we must have piece in the world and give up the inside ok our consideration of nuclear war it but i have to say that i am not happy about to do this all we have received about the situation that we are you know i find that necessarily a few months ago point out that i have never advocated unilaterally disarm
for the united states or for the soviet union i fear the motorists on either side is going to be difficult a law to achieve safety the safety of a disarmed world with inspection of passing through the various stages without one side or the other achieving at an apparent temper a military superiority and that might tempt of the militarists to take but to use these terrible weapons with the best effort that we can make and planning that is going to be difficult but in fact although i do not advocate unilateral disarmament by the united states or the soviet union i recognize that the united states and the soviet union to take during the latter elections all of the time decisions as to doctor how much prominence they will have what means of delivery what the military budget will be and these unilateral decisions have been year after year in the direction of increased in the letters
with the united states taking the lead and the soviet union fell we made the first atomic bombs three years later the soviet union made atomic bombs we made the first super bomb unlike didn't do your four within the year the soviet union was making super bowl we care about the first tremendous series of nuclear weapons tests polluting the atmosphere the soviet union followed our lead on a somewhat smaller scale and then of course began in fourteen months and all overtaken surpassed us by a factor of two and a half really terrible contamination the atmosphere by these tremendous bombs that the soviet union was being explored we surrounded the soviet union with muscle space rockets places right against a soviet border in turkey with nuclear warheads the soviet union rather belatedly begun to follow our example by introducing
basalt rockets into cuba we took military aggression a little more research the whole human race possibly the human race would survive nobody knows just what what happened if there were to be a great world war ii well the soviet union for example getting an well we don't know the world get through another crisis of the story described by the new york times as bringing us closer to nuclear war than ever before how many such crises can read we must we must make a bomb test agreement first the inspection problem can be solved in the method write about in the conference in london in september which i attended in which is not necessary to violate the secrecy of the country black boxes with seismic graphic instruments
prepared by international authorities are turned over to the national tour there's a huge country could be placed in the proper place the instruments will tell whether or not this has been done and the boxes are brought back there's no reason for us to clear violation of the bomb test agreement with a system of the sort i was told that the women of went on strike for peace who talked with ambassador zoran are today we're told by him that the soviet union would accept this black box system of inspections the ambassador didn't have not see them and we do not know that our government has not stated whether or not this would be a satisfactory system but this is really a trivial problem even if there were a little danger of small risk associated with a bomb test agreement the great risks that we run a week after week or a month after month when most the possibility of nuclear war is
overwhelmingly greater that we would be justified do it no matter how cleverly the skin of disarmament do is design a little risk associated with the signing but small compared with the great risk that we know about right right i believe that we are going to achieve this goal general and complete disarmament with international controls and inspection and that it is high time but we are warned by the events of the last ten days that it was high time that we began and i believe that it is our duty as well human beings who want to live i want to see the human race preserved you want to see the world preserves to have our children and our grandchildren and our great grandchildren continuing to populate the earth to work to apply pressure to our government to
negotiate with the other governments of the world and especially the soviet government that in good faith to achieve the score he's the war were on recommendation of none other than at least davidson and by virtue of your party vested in me by the board of directors of that morning enduring peace in europe they can be peace award and it sixty two in recognition of the great humanitarian contribution own safety were his writing and lectures it because of a contributing to the cause of peace and understanding around the world on his part isaac do tonight congratulate going well until they select group of recipients of the gun babies or now her lawyer
is you're more than generous to one was where top rookies a cop with mobile i cannot accept this award as a recognition of any significance in this round i can accept the only as encouragement to further and i hope more fruitful of encouraged that genocide given in the spirit of william the sounds well known saying that success is not the sole measure of that has value in that spirit i think you not only on my own behalf on behalf of the rapidly growing gideon's army of dedicated workers for peace in those actors i'd been privileged to participate i'm deeply touched by ambassador stevens his message even more cuts that at this moment he should even consider taking his pen hand no man has done more maddening stevenson to
lay the foundations for peace by creating a climate that little sympathy and understanding among the world's diverse nations and peoples he's also deeply moving that is a long time right the gunman in the issues that he's distinguished representative to present any peace process st louis and you might have an ending but speaking of nonviolence the sway his great country to be the first to put into actual practice the judeo christian principles by which our western society has professed to have it out on the sea as time when the supposedly civilized nations of the west was spoiling the statistic i mentioned would be world conquerors who plans the woes of various war and so the seat of the harvest to tell which we are now reaping
i think is think one out that we the people of the united states all india a special their revenue given again the two word play them like dr martin luther king and james meredith but not now been following in his footsteps on the most famous occurred courage and indomitable examination the effectiveness of nonviolent go against injustice is a viewing on the loneliness on the only liberating their own long suffering people they're helping our nation to pay his cell of an evil which is modern destroyer vicinity making a mockery of his people's desire to jacqueline the cause of justice and three and saw art world us like say a brief word explanation two distinguished scientists prove to
my family out of being bestowed tonight i've not found a possible not going to support your sense from insolence the policies of our government i share your concern for humanity i have my your indefatigable efforts to prevent further nuclear tests from polluting the atmosphere with all men must read but might they are wrong i have a strong feeling against enlisting citizens of other nations in protest to our government and even stronger variation you're collecting foreign patients with the injunction against the auction my country right or wrong but when and if it seems necessary in the interests of peace to oppose the government's
policy as it has in the same to the necessary upon various occasions about i think the job can and should be done here how is chiefly this different over methods are working for peace without a resident might join him even on those occasions when we have been working to a common objective others that haven't listened to not going to do i think i better with the mom or the methods in some cases aka presenting scenes me curiously all of this sounds that the united states had been an asian actor warwick teller refused to disarm and the soviet union had the song it sounds as if we haven't tried to encroach on people's countries i am not one who posed a double fear there were a crisis and to use it all into centers in the saudi yemen
by marcel a little surprised he has such a denunciation of united states as if we were sent out of the file let myself really be clear and this makes my defense i think went to polling in those of you read but that is your job i sent doesn't play a telegram expressing my bread into an aberration i said that is to that point of pleasing determination and why would they i can go in a moment of unprecedented danger is when opportunity for a new approach the establishment of enduring peace and that whatever the truth to my whole
