H-Bomb Tests
Sir,—T. E. Shaw’s criticism of, “Royal Law” is not wholly sound. Mr Shaw is not illogical or wrong in arguing in a- context appropriate for considering earthly exigencies that, as realists, we abstain from folly. His opinion merits respect in urging, to preserve our skins, our country and commonwealth, our system of freedom and justice, that our armoury should not be neglected. Because his view excludes other factors involved in this brooding drama—its roots among the dark places of earth, its aspirations in the sweet air of heaven—he must limit his arguments to saying in effect that democracy—this tangible pro- ; duct of centuries of experience in j social experiment—must in all ways guard itself from attacks * by those who would discredit, disrupt, or destroy it. Let him bear in mind there are some eager to recommend it by means pleasanter and more finally effective than that awful H-bomb of his.—Yours, etc., R.S. April 24, 1957.
