ancing huttonville park every wednesday and saturday men nwryina m mw became powerful and celebrated com mentators or correspondents iceland bfcowe was one of them the man who wrote the great story or the invasion of norway but recently leland btowe wrote another story that may become famous a report not on the dangers of war but on the dangers of peace concisely and dramatically he said in the language of a newspaper man what all the great scientists phllos ophers and men of letters have been trying to say that this is the end or the old order and that if we do not awaken to the meaning of the new world of atomic energy that the white races of the world will commit mass suicide and do that very soon it will be mass suicide of the white races be cause it is only the white races who 1 are struggling among themselves for i the control of atomic power or more i properly the atomic bomb if we have ian atomic war it will break out be 1 tween twb great white nations and at least two hundred million people will i die in a matter of minutes in the last ten years fifty million people have died in our wars the vie tims of the pre atomic armaments of war but that was old fashioned war except for the people who died in the two japanese cities destroyed by atom lc bombs all the rest were victims of our ingenuity but all our inven tlveness prior to 1945 was child s play in comparison with our power of destruc on from this day on western civil izatlon which took 2000 years to build can be wiped out in ten minutes of planned precision bombing with at omlfc bombs our only enemy says stowe is war we shall abolish war or we shall abolish ourselves perhaps you will say that is just a i ewpaperman s story so let us see what dr leopold infeld of toronto has to say about the same situation in a ten cent book el lt jid b the canadian institute of intern itioi al affairs he write of atomic energy ind world government a vuj dis anguished scientist and man of letters dr infeld studied and worked at cra cow cambridge and princeton unlver si tie and is a friend and collaborator of alfred einstein first of all he tells the story of the growth of knowledge i on atomic energy the work of men of man tongues and races working in many countries ol the world the coming of atomic energy was inevi table some time or other scientists would have produced the means of us lng atomic power but that might have been fifty or a hundred years hence no one person or group or government would have provided two billion dollars for research but under pressure of that in order to produce the atomic bomb i six john mclennan the canadian scientist used to tell the story of cord rutherford s experiment which was planned to split an atom ruther ford told mclennan that it would re quire a hundred years of research be fore the atom was split no one was more surprised than rutherford to find that he himself accomplished that task in his own lifetime so also the research on the bomb pushed ahead the clock in the history of ato mic energy but the united states won only by a hairs breadth for ger many might have had the first atomic bomb if our flyers had not destroyed every research laboratory which they could locate but now we think of atomic energy in terms of bombs thi real significance is in terms of peace ful civilian use but to learn to think i constructively about the atomic age is a task as great as the winning of the war the indlfierence wilful lgnor ance and suicidal avoidance of the real issues are pushing us terribly close to disaster there is no defence against the atomic bomb it can be launched in a pllotless plane in tens or twenties hundred planes synchronized to drop on selectea sites by prevision bombing even twenty five planes with twenty five bombs dropped on

been written about the atomic age none of them is exaggeration for the revolutionary nature of atomic power cannot be over estimated some other nation is likely to have i atomic bombs within two years time therefore the sacred trust malntal lied over a growing reserve of atomic bombs is limited to about two years time if in that time the world has come to a fevei heat of fear and suspicion the nonamerican bombs w ill be dropped on north america long before the united stales has time to launch a plane in futile retaliation unless the united states becomes the a and wantonly drops her bombs on secretly selected targets in two years time then all the wealth rnd labour she is spending on atomic bombs will scne only to draw down destruc tloi upon her elf and mass 1 s liclde upon western

construct ely in the uomic age two years in which to build the defer ices of humanl y in the minds of men all the problems of iran and trieste i md italy and similar ones are minor problems on which we are wasting time which should be spent building peace ful understanding between all the powers so that no atomic war can break out quarreling over a supply of oil or markets for mass production are no primary issues the real issue shall we live in peace or shall wi le by hundreds of millions in the cos intc tireqratotnt b t be no red cross work in the next war for the living will not be able to cope with the chaos of dead and dying there is no question at all but that we want to live and to live in peace not one person in a hundred thousand wants anything else why then do we fear war just because we have not exercised the will to peace became we have not expressed the goodwill that is within us we have lacked faith in man and in ourselves the living generation writes dr infeld must have faith that the advent of the at omic power will some day bring secur ity and happiness in the one world of tomorrow we must not lose this vis ion the problem of atomic energy i stands and will stand for years to come in the centre of our technical the social and international problems on the technical side we are faced with a evolution much greater than that brought about by the advent of electric power the future of the world does not depend upon prime ministers and presidents those who believe in dem otracy know that this future depends on its dr infield closes by quoting prime minister king we mus work with all our might for a world order under a rule of law this seems to be our only hope we must act in the belief that no nation i d no individual lives to himself lone and
