Capt, Dean K. Mandcville: in view oi recent world events, it would appear that our resump- tion of nuclear testing is a neces- sary step to insure ourselves or a military instrument capable or nation and to consult with Thaiicern over onieiais as to the means where ‘- supportmg our national tives '7 Mike nor-watt. ‘63: The most fundamental sue involved in the resumption or nuclear test- ing is whet oblece vc: or it he is able to survwe, \Hll he be able to withstand the deleterious efi'ects of strontium so. it is a sad thing when two nations, both proclaiming hu- manistic goals, set themselves to the task of finding the best way to.,destroy humanity. It silt betrayed her total la sincerity through her rcsump- 4‘ tion of testing. The United States iiol. only ‘would have a basis of euphort to protesting nations, but also would sustain a valuable stategic and propaganda advantage by continuing its moritorium on nu- clear testing, Ray Horton. '52: It merely brings home the direction in which we are travelling. and its, value, it any. lies in the tact that; it may wake certain people, not only in the government but throughout the country, to the pos bility of a nuclear war. Dean Wood: The Russian de cision to resume testing is a bru» tai decision, however one looks at it. The original unilateral den, ,cision to stop testing was used! to serve specitic purposes oi the Russian state. it is possible that this decision was entirely Krus cllcv’s, consciou y bring about a s ategic advante age. . If, however, Khruschev was ‘ forced into this decision by , more militant factions of the , Russian regime the implica— tions are born 3mg. It means that Russia is in a state of dan- t gerous instability and even Khruschev has little control over itussiau nuclear polio i feel that the United Sta es decision to resume testing even on a limited basis was not to our ‘ advaniage. We could have beIlCi' rurthered our position by lianele‘ hug the issue as a negotiation taetor in our tavor and as a means of winning greater ptlbel lic approval. , Charles Cleaver: The first nlJ~l vioiis change is a notable iu-l icrease in leaf and a new kind ‘ol uneasiness in foreign diplo- macy. This uneasiness could lead to one of two possible end r suits, total war or a more rea— sonable consideration ot the a race. An obvious third po.
