Nuclear War

Nuclear War

It is clear that wars of the future will differ very much from those the world has so far seen. Not only is there going to be a difference in the quality of destruction but the quality of destruction will differ as well. The after-effects of a nuclear war would involve most of the world, and in this sense there could be no "neutrals." Answering questions, the speakers pointed out that there was no "Survival Committee" or other form of civil defence against nuclear war in this country, nor even much effort to educate people in what precautions they could take if war started. In the U.S some effort, though rather a hesitant one, is being made to induce people to build shelters, while in Russia this project is well under way.
