H-WAR WOULD KILL
8,000,000 CANADIANS

If the people should ever fail to secure their demand for outlawing of nuclear
warfare and permit the advocates of nuclear warfare to pursue their policies ‘‘across
the brink,’’ full-scale H-bomb’ war could cost the lives of 8 million Canadians and

bring radiation injury to. another 2 millioa, more than half the country’s population.
This is the appalling fact that emerges from testimony given before a U.S.

Congressional atomic energy
committee in hearings to de-

termine the effect of radio-
active fallout.
At Washington this week,

Dr. Charles Schaefer, . basing
his statements on “an estimate
of enemy capabilities in the
nineteen-sixties’” provided by
the U.S. defense department,
asserted that full - scale H-
bomb “war would kill 82. mil-
lion of the U.S.» population of
170. million and cause radia-
tion injury to another 24 mil-
lion.

By the same estimates, 8

million Canadians would die

and another 2 million suffer

radiation injury.

Schaefer added that his es-
timates took into account the
“reasonably accurate” as-
sumption that there would be
ne time for evacuation and

that present shelter and
shielding would be available.

He estimated that half the
casualtizs: would, be from
bomb blasts and seering heat
and half from radiation.

United Church

scores H-tests

“Nuclear energy is a mighty
power for good or evil and
if misused or carelessly used,
could result in the destruction
of life on earth,”
resolution passed by B.C. con-
ference of the United Church
of Canada which urges Otta-
wa to use its influence to have
large-scale nuclear explosions
controlled.
