To Whom It May Cone!: f
This is an inquiry to the individual women who might be interested in adding her
single but effective voice to the concerted effort now being made by many groups
to make an immediate appeal to Congress to STOP FURTHER EXPERIMENTING WITH THE
HYDROGEN BOMB.
It is felt that our scientists have done enough experimenting, surely, to know
what we have. We certainly don't need a deadlier weapon. We hear about islands
being sunk, either intentionally or unintentionally, ashes being scattered over
unanticipated areas, radio-activity possibly contaminating friendly neighbor's
bodies, vegetation and live-stock. - We hear, too, that the as~es do not get blown
away into space but go up to the earth's ceiling-like atmosphere and must, in,
time, come down.
We who are interested in this movement do not say that we should throw away the
bomb. Peace organizations have tried that and failed because of "Adequate Defense"
reasons. Nor should anything be said FOR OR AGAINST whether we should .~go to war
if we are attacked. If one is interested in writing one's own appeal, or~better
still, an appeal from the t-p!OLE family, listing children's names and ages, ":1:-it
might be better to use the expression that many groups are using .•• "Let's put'ern.~ .
the brakes and stop further experimenting with the H bomb" ••• might be the most ---~:· ,
effective. When a momentum is gotten up in the wrong direction and one wishes to
reverse that momentum .•• the ONLY thing that can be done is to come to a FULL STOP
BY PUTTING ON THE BRAKES.
NOW ..• we who are interested in this appeal DO NOT say that we are NOT in favor of
peace .•• BUT ••• let's start at the bottom rung of the ladder and try to climb up.
IF the American people are aroused to the point where their voices must be listened
to ••• WHO is to say that perhaps the next old-fashioned type war that seems apparently
to be in the offing, if one is to judge by the old familiar pattern of newspaper
and radio and television announcements that are already in evidence, might be averted.
Is it too idealistic to suppose that if the people who are concerned with such things
see that we mean business about the bomb experimenting .•• they might, also consider
that we won't sit still for another war, either. AND perhaps, if we stand up to be
heard in this instance (for the first time in many, many years) might it not .give -.·the other peoples of the world, who used to look to the American people for leader-
ship before we (the only nation to do so) dropped the bombs on human beings in
war-fare, courage to stand up, too. Maybe the peoples of the world can save
themselves from total destruction.
The groups who have been contacted directly are: Michigan League of Women Voters,
Dearborn Michigan Branch of the AAUW (University Women), Zonta Club (an International
Business Women's group), the YWCA, the PTA, the Detroit Round Table of Christians
and Jews, the Detroit Council of Churches, the Supt. of Schools in Dearborn,
Michigan and Detroit and the National Education Association through its Michigan
outlet in Lansing •.• (all local organizations advised to pass a resolution to !suggest
to their national parent that an immediate appeal be made by THEM to Congress.)
So far only women's groups (outside of educational sources) have been c;ntacted .••
However, there is no attempt to make this exclusively a Mother's March on Science.
or even a potential Mothers' League of Nations ••• If any man, individually or through
a service-club wishes to chime his voice in with the others, he is certainly .invited
to do so •••• After all, the men are the fathers and brothers and uncles of the
children to whom we will pass on these unsettled conditions if we do not straighten
them out in our own lifetime. AND the men are the ones through the years and
milleniums of warfare who have fought the battles in good faith while the women ·
have remained home to' weep.
Copies of this letter will go out to an important women's organization in every-
country possible including Russia. If women will take advantage of the freedom that j!
Science has afforded them by freeing them from their kitchens in most cases, perhaps
we might, for the sake of our children's future welfare, have a , voi~e in saying how
we feel Science should make use of its discoveries.
so .•. again it is reiterated that if we as individuals or members of groups or· families
get busy and get our appeals off to Congress and say "Let's put on the brakes: and
stop further experimenting with the H bomb" .•• perhaps we'll be able to do that and
get atomic energy converted to the benefit of mankind instead of its destruction .•• -
and only God knows how much more.
