Hoskins November h, 1957 Dear friend: The American Friends Service Cemmittee is deeply conoerned about the contin- uance of nuclear weapons testing, Kounting evidence from thousands of scientists -- primarily those not working fer the Governnent -- indicates that genetic and other dangers to humanity from radioactive fall-out are real and increasing, We risk, then, the danger of making physical monsters of future generations and moral monsters of ourselves by acquiescing in this evil. The London disarmament talks have failed, Continued nuclear testing brings us ever closer to war. Our Government has announced plans for new H-bomb tests in the Pacific next April. We know this arms race cannot lead to peace, Only action . by you and thousands like you can. . Will you, therefore, read the two enclosed leaflets: What Heve We Silently Said "Yes" To? and Return to Huran Decency ?@ If you agree with us that they are valuable educational toois, will ycu help us get them to thousands of people by buying them and giving or mailing them -- in sets of two, for the cumulative effect -~- to as many people as you can? A personal word from you would increase their effectivencss, Prices are m the back of the leaflets, Will you also write to the President and to your Senators and Ccngressman, urging that nuclear weapons testing be stopped? Increase the sensitivity of their consciences by making them aware of your own concern, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood," wrote Paul to.the Ephesians, but "... against spiritual wickedness in high places," Sincerely yours, 7 af d, 7 A ly me / Cerwel ethene / yl A ar Russell Johnsén Robert A.
