DR. E.W. PFEIFFER

rice fields of South Vietnam
where craters over 30 feet deep
had been dug by B-52 bombing
raids.

Dr. Pfeiffer said these holes
were there in the thousands and
were a potential menace in that
they were natural breeding
grounds for malaria-ridden
mosquitoes. He pointed out the
air pollution which hangs in a
cloud over the busy streets of
Saigon.

The U.S. budget for research
and manufacture of nerve gases
and other death-dealing
materials will reach the $600
million mark this year, and that
is only part of the story, the
scientist said. At this moment
the American military have at
their command a type 0
chemical of which one quart
would kill all life within one
cubic mile.

As a zoologist, Dr. Pfeiffer
was particularly concerned with

one aspect of this not-so-secret
search for more deadly weapons
and means of distributing them.
The venerable Smithsonian
Institute had been used as a front
in which the migratory pattern
of birds was studied.

“Migrating birds’’, wrote one
of the scientists, ‘““eould serve as
a mechanical means to trans nit

diseases...”

Shrapnel is imbedded in many
of the valuable hardwood logs in
South Vietnam, Dr. Pfeiffer
said, ‘and now the Americans
are trying to develop an x-ray
apparatus SO that the shrapnel
particles can be detected before
they ruin the saws in the mill”

The horrible illogic of these
situations is superseded only by
the situation where Canada, a
signator of the Geneva
Conventions against the use of
deadly poisons and gases in
warfare, now turns all research
data done in this country over to
their U.S. counterparts. The
U.S.A. never signed the Geneva
agreements, but Canada, also on
the International Control
Commission in Vietnam, must
surely win the prize for
perfidity.

“Surely the Canadian people
should protect this rank violation
of their government’s com-
mitments,”’ Dr. Pfeiffer said.

Despite the matter-of-fact and
unemotional manner in which he
presented his chilling facts, it
was clear that Dr. Pfeiffer’s
concern for the future of
mankind went very deep. One
felt that he was tempted to tell
his audience, Act Now, for it is
later than you think!
