Blackham writes on behalf of Muller.

"Mr. Cyrus Eaton wrote to me just before the Second Congress of the International Humanist and Ethical Union in London (July 26-31), and I enclose a copy of his letter with my reply" (record 117072 and record 117073). Blackham encloses a copy of the resolution which the Congress adopted (record 117074).

"If indeed it would be of great service in steadying and informing world-wide opinion and guiding official policy to have a small conference on a broader basis, to include political and social thinkers, competent to undertake a patient and skilled exploration of the entire problem of the defence of legitimate interests in the present arms situation, in order to disentangle the related issues and to formulate the alternatives, the call for such a conference would come with special force from the Pugwash scientists. It is this which Professor Muller wanted me to discuss with you, if possible." Blackham asks BR if this is possible.
