94. The question of nuclear tests, though urgent in its nature, is only a part of the problem of war and disarmament. Our consideration should be turned, therefore, with no less concern and sense of urgency to the growing danger of a destructive cataclysm from a nuclear war that may mean the end of our organized human society, if not of all life on this globe. War will have to be abolished. This requires, however, that the concepts from which it stems should be abandoned. Is this possible? The spirit of contest and war has accompanied man in his evolution through the ages and has been a determining factor in national and international development. It could not be suddenly eradicated and supplanted by that of placid co-operation and peace.
