The warning to the world against
nuclear weapons these scientists
helped to make was disclosed at
press conference by British philosopher - mathematician Bertrand
Russell, 83-year-old one-time pacifist.
Russell, who said six years ago
he would prefer a third world war
to Russian domination, announced
he had sent copies of the appeal
.to leaders of Russia, the United
States, Britain, France, Canada
and Communist China, An accompanying letter urged these governments .to "give public expression
to the problem ... the most serious that has ever confronted the
human race."
SEEK MAXIMUM IMPACT
He said the appeal and letters
were forwarded nine days before
the summit talks open at Geneva.
The warning was admittedly with*
hold from publication until it could
make a maximum impact on world

The eight scientists, including an
authority from behind Ihe Iron Curtain who once worked with Bin-

Russell said there is "no point
whatever in mere prohibition" of
nuclear weapons. "We must havc
some international authority to

The warning said: "Here then,
Is the problem which we present
to you, stark and'-fcreadful and inescapable—shall We put an end

Remember your humanity and forget the rest. If you can do so, thc
way lies open to a new paradise.
If you cannot, there lies before

conference with Sir Anthony Eden,
French Premier Edgar Faure and
Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin.
The broadcast will give him an
opportunity to do some diplomatic
stage setting for tha meeting and
to counter Russia's pre - Geneva
propaganda line.
The heart of this propaganda, as
shown in a new Izvestia editoria,
is that the Soviet government is
'working .vigorously for world peace
and that the Western powers must
do a lot more than they have done
to help produce East-West settlement.

TWO DISTINCT VIEWS
Western -preparations for the
conference have produced two distinct views of what Russia's real
purpose is. One widely held opinion
here is that the Soviets are suffering from agricultural and industrial weaknesses at home as well
as severe foreign policy reverses
abroad—notably the decision of the
Western' powers to nis^e Western
Germany sovereign and rearm it.
According to this view the Soviet
problems are not in any sBns^ desperate or an immediate threat to
Russia's military power. But they
are severe enough tn make Soviet
leaders want a breathing spall, an
end to the international slugging
that marks the cold war.
At the   other* extreme   is the j
belief that what the Soviets are
