N.Z. GROUP CRITICISED
Cable To Earl Russell
(Special Crspdt N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, Sept. 15. Commenting on the cable which the National Committee of the New Zealand Campaign for Nuclear Disarms, ment sent to Earl Russell reading “Gandhi and Einstein would have been proud of you.” a “Daily Telegraph” columnist comments: "We can leave Gandhi out of this for the moment, but it was Einstein more than any other man who persuaded Presi. dent Roosevelt to sanction the making of the bomb which destroyed Hiroshima. “It was Lord Russell himself who argued the case for preventive nuclear war on Russia before Russia had nuclear weapons of her own. “It goes without saying that both had turned right round in their opinions. “Einstein and Gandhi? Why not Flanagan and Allen? At least their comic act was always the same.”
