Gentlemen May Cry: Peace . . .
Unless war can be abolished, the U.S. officially informed the U.N. last week, the only recourse of peace-loving nations against aggressors using atomic bombs will be to develop bigger & better atomic bombs. The announcement was made in Scientific Information, Volume I of Bernard M. Baruch's report to the U.N. Atomic Energy Commission.
The report outlined the uselessness of all direct and indirect defenses against atom bombs, but added a comforting note: "War with this weapon will not be completely unendurable in a country adequately prepared and strong enough to withstand the first onslaught. The length of the war would certainly be increased by adequate dispersion of great industrial areas and the construction of subterranean factories. . . . We can expect war to continue until . . . the will to resist is finally broken."
