THE CULT OF DOOM!

SOSTOMUURISENTIER

by David Lilienthal

Flity-year-old nowly retirad chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission -in a speech in New York

CHUSE

WANT no part of the new cult of doom that i see rising all about us. I want no part of any effort to scare people for good reasons or for bad reasons.

I would like, if I can, to help to counteract the growing mood among the people of this hopelessness

which the and futility and confusion

oracics of annihilation have encouraged by their dismal words howover well-intentioned those words may bo.

My theme will not be one of despair, for I seo no cause for disheartenment. I look upon atomic energy as one of the greatest advances in all the long history of man's search for new knowledge

Why picture horrors?

RUE. It has its dark and sombre side-no doubt about this at all. I know in detail about how destructive the A-bomb tu. I know quite well how destructive the H-bomb can be if it can be bullt.

But I ask you: What good comes from the extravagant and sensational picturing of the horrors of atom warfare? What good does it do to revel in the Jurid detalls of these acknowledged dangers?

Does this serve the purpose of scaring the rulers of Russla and they act as a deterrent to aggressium by them ? or course ik Men who are frightened by word plätures do not become the troa rulers of a large part of the earth

Does this wallowing in the tazarda of atomic warfare help to keep this country alert, help to keep our military strength from lagging?

I doubt it very much. It can have the very opposite effect as some of the more liam- boyant of the scare-the-dopes school ought to realise

It deeply disturbs and harrows people who are already convinced that there must never be another war. ulready convinced that the world must have peace and co-operation.

The chief consequence of this wave of headline after headline about doom and utter destruction, of one-night wars and the horrors that lie in atomte destruction, is this-ad growing sense of confusion and helpiessicas among our own people.

And hopelessness and helplessness are the very opposite of what we need. These are emotions that play right into the finnds of destructive Communist forces.
