Truman is letting loose the
H-bomb. This is a threat of bigger
Hiroshimas everywhere in the
world. This is a threat to you, to
your family, to all of us.

The U.S. has no monopoly on
the A-bomb. The U.S. can have no
monopoly on the H-bomb.

Today our government allows
Canadian uranium to be made into
atom bombs. Tomorrow our uran-
ium can be turned into hydrogen
bombs. No more uranium for
atomic weapons. We must not be
made “accomplices to the crime.”

You can act now to stop a third world war

When only America had the
bomb, some people liked to figure
what it would do to Moscow and
Stalingrad. Here is one terrible
nightmare, pictured back in 1947:

“We could wipe out 75 million
Russians and not lose 100 men. If |.
we’re going to kill them, let’s do it —
now.” : |

That’s what Dr. R. H. Montgom-
ery, leading American atomic
scientist, said in 1947.

Now the experts worry about
what the bomb can do to London,
New York and Toronto. Because
... both sides have the bomb!
