Rivera writes, "I address myself to you to ask that your voice and the authority of your position reinforce the demand, in the name of everything in the world that signifies culture, beauty, joy and peace, for the immediate suspension of the thermonuclear and atomic bomb tests, since their continuation can only result in a general atomic war with the consequent destruction of humanity."

Rivera discusses the threat the test bombs pose, and wonders why more people have not stood up to voice their dissent regarding the atomic bomb tests, especially considering the devastation that bombs created in Japan.
