The letter concerns Russell's centenary celebrations as well as a commission looking into the atrocities in Derry (i.e. Londonderry), Northern Ireland.

The letter concerns Russell's centenary celebrations as well as a commission looking into the atrocities in Derry (i.e. Londonderry), Northern Ireland.

This concerns BR's interview with David Susskind. It is not a letter but a document. It is marked "Confidential". Some of Russell's remarks are summarized, others are reported verbatim by the unknown author of this document. Subjects discussed by Russell include: nuclear disarmament, British neutrality in the Cold War, Britain and NATO, the UN and disarmament, the Berlin crisis, and his views on various world leaders. The author indicates that Russell's philosophic views on morality and education were also discussed, but he does not report what was said.

This is page 10 of an interview transcription; the previous nine pages are not in the file. At the head of this page someone has written: "Press Conference in London, 7 July 1962".

The page contains 2 questions posed to the Acting Secretary-General [U Thant] about Russell. Thant expresses his "high respect" for Russell and notes that they met in his London hotel the previous day to discuss a number of topics. When prompted, Thant admitted that Russell had not asked him to join the Committee of 100.

Thant forwards a letter that Russell sent to him dated 16 November 1962.

The letter is addressed to "Dear Friend". In the letter Schuster expresses his admiration for Russell on his 90th birthday and sends the recipient a copy of Into the Tenth Decade.

This document is a press release to correspondents which includes the text of a message from Ralph Schoenman to U Thant, 14 June 1963. The message announces the formation of the BRPF, although it is only referred to as "a Foundation".

Rotblat thanks BR for his letter of 14 November. "We are trying to arrange the meeting for December 18th, but I understand now that this will depend on Skobeltzyn getting a visa in time." Rotblat asks BR if he could help with this at all. Rotblat also writes that he is increasingly convinced of the need for another Pugwash-like conference.

A copy of the carbon from Joseph Rotblat's paper is located at record 7482.

BR, as per Rotblat's requests, writes on behalf of D.V. Skobeltzyn to the Home Secretary regarding his visa.

BR thanks Rotblat for his letter of 18 November and informs him he has written to the Home Office regarding Skobeltzyn, and encloses the letter (typed on the verso of document).

BR expresses hope for another conference like Pugwash, given the situation between the Russians and Americans.

Burhop informs BR that members of the World Peace Council are anxious to put BR's name forward for the award of one of their three prizes, and asks if BR would be agreeable to accepting an award.

BR thanks Burhop for his letter of 27 November and informs him that while he feels honoured that his name would be considered, he has decided not to let it go forward. "As you know, I have been endeavouring throughout recent years to remain in all my public actions strictly impartial as between East and West. The World Council of Peace is regarded, I do not know with what justice, as a pro-Communist organization".

BR feels that accepting an award from this organization would cause him to lose his reputation for impartiality.

Eaton encloses excerpts from letters he has received, "with comments on my plea for better understanding between nations of opposing philosophies" (record 117156). One comment is from Albert Schweitzer.

"Typical excerpts from a portion of one day's mail concerning Mr. Cyrus Eaton's plea for better understanding between nations of opposing philosophies".

Enclosed with record 117155.

Rotblat thanks BR for his letter and the enclosed copy of his letter to the Home Office.

He asks BR's opinion on Szilard and Weisskopf's suggestion of inviting von Weissaecker to their upcoming meeting.

In a postscript Rotblat asks if BR has seen the day's News Chronicle in which Eaton discusses his trip to London for the upcoming meeting, which they had hoped to keep the press out of.

BR thanks Rotblat for his letter of 27 November.

Regarding the "tricky" question of inviting people to the meeting BR writes, "I think the way out that you suggest is the right one, namely, to invite these various people to an informal meeting and leave it to the permanent committee to make the final decisions."

Typed on the verso of Rotblat's letter (record 117157).

BR writes that other than an acknowledgement he has not received a reply from the Home Office regarding granting Skobeltzyn a visa.

A copy of the original letter is located at record 7481.

Burhop thanks BR for his letter of 30 November and understands BR's decision to not accept an award from the World Peace Council.

He also thanks BR for sending a reprint of his open letter to Eisenhower and Khrushchev.

Eaton writes regarding BR's "Open Letter to Eisenhower and Krushchev" stating that it "... clearly and forcefully states the fateful problem of our times. Your profound observations deserve the widest possible dissemination throughout the world."

Eaton also writes that due to "pressing business matters" he will no longer be able to be in London this month, but he can be reached by cable, phone or letter.

Rotblat writes regarding two urgent matters. "One, is a letter to Mr. Eaton in which we ask him to fix a place for the April meeting, and to answer a few other questions. If you approve of the enclosed letter I would be glad if you would sign it and send it off" (not present).

Rotblat encloses a draft of a letter to the people to be invited to April's meeting (not present).

He thanks BR for going to London to attend the meetings that were held. "... The participants are all very single-minded, obsessed by their own ideas and unwilling to respond to those of others."

A digital print of the carbon of this letter is available in Box 16.79, RA3 1816e, document no. 39.

BR thanks Rotblat for his letter and its enclosures. He has signed and sent the letter to Eaton, also congratulating Eaton on his marriage, and returns the draft letter with no suggested changes (not present).

Valls asks BR for his opinion on his proposal to "... extend invitations, possibly as secretary of this Institute of History and Philosophy of Science (within which the Spanish Higher Research Council), to about twelve of the leading scientists of the world, to meet me at a private conference. This conference could be held in Switzerland, and my request to you, is that you will join me in sending out the invitations, since you are probably the most outstanding scientific philosopher now living."

He includes a specific agenda of the meeting in five points.

There is a postscript providing BR with an address to respond to.

BR thanks Valls for his letter of 27 December and writes, "The kind of thing that you feel ought to be done, is being attempted by an organization which had a meeting last summer in Nova Scotia", and suggests writing to Rotblat regarding the work.

BR encloses a copy of a telegram sent to a dinner of Nobel Prize men in America providing his views (not present).

Eaton thanks BR reporting the conclusions reached at the London meeting.

He will begin making plans for a meeting to be held from 31 March to 11 April in Canada, and requests a list of the proposed participants. Eaton provides BR with a few suggestions for the Canadian participants. He recommends Chisholm and Foster and discusses Lester Pearson and Sydney Smith.

Tito thanks BR for his letter of 11 April, and has read the principal documents from the Second Conference of Nuclear Scientists in Quebec that April.

He expresses his support for meetings such as this, "I am confident such effort will help the responsible political factors in the world perceive that peace, and thereby the existence of all of mankind, depends above all on eliminating the danger of use of weapons of mass destruction and on the policy of peaceful solution of outstanding international problems by agreement."

Rotblat encloses the first batch of invitations to the Canadian meeting and asks BR if he would sign and send them (not present).

He is still waiting to get the names of the five Russian scientists to be invited, from Skobeltzyn.

A digital print of the carbon of this letter is available in Box 16.79, RA3 1816e, document no. 34.

Eaton proposes holding the meeting at the Manoir Saint-Castin, Lac Beauport, Quebec, which is pictured in the enclosed postcard.

Eaton provides BR with some information on the Manoir and Lac Beauport and asks his opinion on the location.

BR thanks Eaton for his letter of 13 January and the postcard of Lac Beauport. "I do not expect myself to be able to come to the proposed conference and I am accepting Professor Rotblat's decision, whatever it may be, as to your suggestion."

Typed on the verso of Eaton's letter.

BR asks Rotblat to reply to the enclosed letter and send the appropriate literature (not present). "I should be grateful if you would tell them I am in sympathy with the petition they enclose."

McGowan writes on behalf of Rotblat, enclosing a letter from Skobeltzyn, requesting BR's comments on the letter (record 117175).

A digital print of the carbon of this letter is available in Box 16.79, RA3 1816e, document no. 32.

Skobeltzyn thanks Rotblat for his letter of 23 December. After consultation with his colleagues regarding the April meeting in Canada it would be best to confine Soviet participation to three candidates. The candidates he suggests are A.V. Topchiev, N.N. Bogolubov and himself.

A typed transcription of this letter was made by Russell Archives staff.

On why BR insisted on marriage rather than illegitimizing John Conrad Russell.

"Friday". The date on this letter is taken from the postmark. However, Oct. 3 was a Thursday.

BR cannot see Brooks until December.

BR suggests arrangements to see Brooks on the way to his YMHA meeting on education, Dec. 12. "... Don't bring any one else as talking to strangers is tiring...."

BR will write a preface [in Auto. 2] to her book. "... our personal news, which is in every way satisfactory."

Harriet is born, so the letter was misdated as 1930/01/02.

On America. On lunching with Norman Thomas but requiring more than salad.

Brooks' book manuscript "seems exceedingly interesting".

On book outlines.

On her book manuscript, "The YMCA Government of China" (now in the Russell Archives).

BR now "can't possibly do the preface" to her book. He is arriving in the U.S. on Oct. 13.

She may use BR's letters—"I might want to add a phrase here and there."

The envelope is from the Western Women's Club, 609 Sutter Street, San Francisco.

BR will make a preface out of his letter of 5 May 1930. He rejects the use of the letters from himself that she proposed using in place of a preface. There are too many things in them that he does not want to have published, e.g. a remark on Watson.

Rotblat thanks BR for sending him the letters from Harrison Brown and Otto Hahn.

Rotblat asks BR for his opinion on Skobeltzyn's suggestion of only three Russians, but an extra delegate from China and India.

"Finally, I should like to know what you think about Mr. Eaton's suggestion of holding the meeting at the Manoir Saint Castin. Perhaps we should make it clear to him that although we are grateful for the blessing of the Roman Catholic Church, we hope that our meeting will not in any way be associated with any churches."

A digital print of the carbon of this letter is available in Box 16.79, RA3 1816e, document no. 31.

BR agrees with Skobeltzyn's suggestion of inviting only three Russians, and one extra delegate from India and China. BR is doubtful about Oliphant ("too official") and suggests inviting Thirring as one of the Russian delegates.

Holding the meeting at the Manoir St. Castin should not be a problem so long as it is made clear that they are not affiliated with any church.

The ribbon of this letter is at record 132387 and the dictation is at record 16001.

Royon writes on behalf of Eaton to enclose two new article clippings.

The first article is from the Philadelphia Inquirer, which "... reports on a luncheon meeting at the Union League last week, when Mr. Eaton addressed a group of 65 of the City's business leaders." This article is titled, "Eaton Asks U.S. to Seek Accord with Russians", and is dated 17 January 1958. The second article, "The World Outlook" from 16 January 1958 is from The Commercial and Financial Chronicle in which Eaton "... appeal[s] to the American business constituency...."

Telegram from Joliot-Curie congratulating BR on receiving UNESCO's Kalinga Prize.

Rotblat asks BR if he would like him to reply to Valls' letter.

He is worried about an article written by Walter W. Marseille from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists which is very anti-Pugwash. "I agree with Rabinowitch that it should be accompanied by an article representing the opposite view and naturally nobody could do it better than yourself. I wonder, therefore, whether you could possibly find the time to write a short article in answer to Mr. Marseille".

There is a postscript requesting BR to sign and send the enclosed letters (not present).

A digital print of the carbon of this letter is available in Box 16.79, RA3 1816e, document no. 26.

BR has signed and sent the three letters accompanying Rotblat's 4 February letter. He requests that Rotblat send Valls' letter back as he does not recall it.

He is willing to reply to Marseille's letter, having received two versions from Rabinowitch, though the reply cannot be finished to appear in the March issue. "If he wants to print Marseille's in March, he can add a note saying that I am replying in the April issue."

Letter is written on the verso of Rotblat's 4 February letter, record 117190. The ribbon of this letter is available at record 132385 and the dictation at record 16025.

Eaton writes to BR regarding the luncheon meeting he addressed the previous day of the Canadian Club in Montreal, regarding "'Fission, Fusion, and Sputnik: Time for a New Look at International Relations.'"

He encloses two articles from the Globe and Mail. The first, "The Chain Reaction of a Nuclear War" is from 29 January, and the second article, of 10 February is titled, "The West and the Nuclear Curtain".

Eaton is sending the same information to Rotblat.

BR thanks Rabinowitch for his letter of 10 March, which he is forwarding to Rotblat.

BR addresses Alsop's interview, which Rabinowitch mentioned, stressing unilateral disarmament. "I favour unilateral disarmament for Britain whose nuclear contribution is in any case unimportant. With regard to the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., I think that, if both were wise, both would agree to nuclear disarmament. I do not think the policy of unilateral nuclear disarmament has any chance of being adopted either in U.S. or in U.S.S.R."

There is a typed note at the top of this document stating "(another copy, with Dr. Rabinowitch's letter, sent to Rotblat)".

Thirring thanks BR for his letter of 6 March and the invitation to Quebec, though, as he has informed Rotblat by telephone already, he is unable to join the conference this time.

Thirring details his work, such as organizing a meeting of the Pugwash group in Vienna, as "... it is meant to explain that all my work will be dedicated to exactly the same goals towards which Socrates, Einstein, you and many others were striving."

Thirring visited BR on 27 September 1952.

Rotblat encloses more invitation letters to the Quebec conference (not present).

"I should like to suggest with some diffidence that perhaps you would care to write to Mr. Eaton to tell him that you are unable to come and to thank him for making the conference possible. I know that he would greatly appreciate receiving a letter directly from you."

A digital print of the carbon of this letter is available in Box 16.79, RA3 1816e, document no. 21.

Steacie thanks BR for the invitation, but is unable to participate as he disapproves of conferences sponsored by Eaton.

[Steacie was then head of Canada's National Research Council.]

BR writes that due to medical reasons he will be unable to make it to Canada for the Lac Beauport Pugwash Conference, but he thanks Eaton for all of the support and help he has contributed in the Conference.

"A considerable part of my regret in not being able to come to Quebec is that I have to miss the pleasure and interest of meeting you."

Eaton tells BR his message was "... enthusiastically received at the opening of the Conference."

He encloses his own address to the conference (record 117199).

Address of welcome by Cyrus Eaton.

Document is Eaton's address to the Second Pugwash Meeting of Nuclear Scientists in Lac Beauport, Quebec (enclosed with record 117198).

Rotblat encloses a set of papers presented at the Conference, along with the minutes (not present).

"Despite some differences of opinion with our Russian colleagues, we have achieved some measures of agreement. On the whole the Conference was very successful. We certainly got to grips with the problems much more than at Pugwash."

Rotblat's letter is typed on a letterhead for the "Second Pugwash Conference of Nuclear Scientists", with a long list of eminent Canadian sponsors. Among them is George P. Gilmour, President, McMaster University.

Powell writes on behalf of the Conference members to express their appreciation for BR's work and that the Conference was a success.

Powell uses the Second Pugwash Conference letterhead.

Fielding thanks BR for his letter of 7 May and expresses, with regrets, that he and Mrs. Fielding will not be able to make it to North Wales to visit BR during their trip.

Eaton encloses three letters, one from India's Prime Minister Nehru, which he refers to as being "highly encouraging", one from Canada's Prime Minister Diefenbaker and one for the U.S. Department of State on behalf of President Eisenhower (record 117204, record 117205 and record 117206).

He is also sending these three letters to the Second Pugwash Conference participants.

Nehru thanks Eaton for his letter of 11 April, and its enclosed papers from the Second Pugwash Conference, which he feels will be of great interest to India's nuclear scientists.

"May I say that the work of this Conference is, in my opinion, of the highest importance and I earnestly trust that it will help in making people all over the world realize the terrible danger which the world faces today."

Enclosed with record 117203.

Diefenbaker thanks Eaton for sending the documents from the Second Pugwash Conference to him, which he intends to study when he can.

"I shall not attempt to thank each one of the scientists who have signed the joint letter of transmittal, but I wish to join with them in underlining your own part in the realization of those conferences that every year attract world-wide attention."

Farley writes that Eaton's 11 April letter to President Eisenhower has been forwarded to the Department of State for its information and reply, and the documents Eaton enclosed are being reviewed.

"I wish to assure you that the government of the United States is deeply conscious of its responsibilities to mankind as well as to the security of the free world. We will continue our efforts to achieve a meaningful first step disarmament agreement."

Eaton writes to BR regarding a programme on Eaton, discussing his efforts for world peace over a nationwide radio broadcasting network on 7 May, in which many of Eaton's quotations from over the years were taken out of context.

Eaton quotes Fulton Lewis Jr. as saying, during the broadcast, "Eaton for the last two years has financed the Pugwash Conference to which he has invited scientists from various countries of the world. Among other scientists, was Professor Hans Thirring of Austria on whom my files of correspondence from Vienna contain a report that he is in close and constant contact there with Soviet agents, and that on his return from the Pugwash Conference he routed his itinerary through Moscow where he held extensive conferences."

It has been suggested that the FBI obtained reports on Thirring through the CIA. Eaton writes that he feels there should be an investigation made if the CIA is observing the Pugwash members, for it violates their rights.

BR thanks Eaton for his letter of 13 May. "What the F.B.I. is doing about Professor Thirring is altogether disgusting but does not in any way surprise me."

BR also thanks Eaton for his 12 May letter and its enclosed responses.

BR informs Rotblat he has written to Lord Simon, at his suggestion, asking him to communicate with Rotblat (record 117210).

BR encloses £50 for Rotblat, and a letter from Chou Pei-yuan (not present).

The ribbon copy of this letter is available at record 132380.

BR writes regarding the Pugwash International Congress of Scientists in Kitzbuhel in September, as they are trying to collect money for the scientists who cannot pay their own way.

He asks Simon that if he should feel inclined to donate it would be appreciated, and to send it to Rotblat.

Enclosed with record 117209.

Rotblat thanks BR for his letter and cheque of £50.

He writes that Professor Thirring and Dr. Bruno Kreisky, a member of the Austrian Cabinet, will also be attending the committee meeting of 2 June. Because of this, the party will be too large to travel to North Wales, and Rotblat has not "the heart" to ask BR to come to London unless he has other reasons to come.

A digital print of the carbon of this letter is available in Box 16.79, RA3 1816e, document no. 18.

The letter is addressed to Lord Simon, but the address at the foot is BR's. The letter is meant for BR.

Rotblat writes that he has received a cheque of £50 from Lord Simon for the expenses of the September conference.

He sends BR his "... belated but very sincere wishes on the occasion of your birthday. As a 'superannuated philosopher', you certainly keep a lot of 'juvenile' politicians hard at work to keep up with you, and I hope you will continue to do this for many more years."

Rotblat asks BR to sign a photograph for him.

A digital print of the carbon of this letter is available in Box 16.79, RA3 1816e, document no. 17.

BR writes to Rotblat regarding Eaton, as he is being attacked by the House Committee on Un-American activities, which has been in the newspapers. BR encloses a copy of a letter to Eaton he has written regarding this (not present).

He enjoyed meeting Rotblat at Aberystwyth. "What a pleasant, as well as useful, occasion it was."

Eaton thanks BR for his letter of 19 May.

"Since I wrote you on May 7th about the Fulton Lewis broadcast, the tide of American opinion has begun to run strongly against the reactionary forces that seek to throttle freedom of speech by distorted smear and innuendo." Eaton encloses a number of editorials to provide BR "... a good cross section of the public indignation being expressed in every part of the United States and Canada."

The clippings he encloses are, "Is Cyrus Eaton 'Un-American?'", New York Herald Tribune, 21 May; "Cyrus Eaton, J. Edgar Hoover—and the Bill of Rights", New York Post, 20 May; "Tyranny by Subpoena", The Washington Post, 22 May; "This Is Freedom of Speech?", New York World-Telegram and the Sun, 22 May; "Big Brother Complex?", The Montreal Star, 7 May; "Eaton raises serious question", The Milwaukee Journal, 8 May; "A Wild Pitch from the FBI", The Berkshire Eagle, 8 May; and an editorial cartoon portraying Eaton, titled, "'Ha! An Un-American Tendency toward Free Speech!'", The Washington Post, 21 May.

Eaton thanks BR for his letter of 21 May. He encloses two press items reflecting the opinion against the reactionary forces "... that are seeking to throttle freedom of speech." The first is an article from the Chicago Daily News, "Up to Congress to Check Walter", 26 May. The second clipping is a political cartoon in the 23 May edition of The Providence Journal, depicting Eaton's criticism of Hoover and the public reaction.

"This so called committee on un-American activities of the House and the FBI are leading influences here in fomenting fear and hatred of the Russians. The animus is obvious, since both the committee and the FBI have a vested interest in preserving the appearance of the imminent danger from the Communists in the United States."

Eaton asks BR if he would consider making a statement to the House of Lords, for release to the World Press, "... to express indignation over the dastardly attack here on Professor Thirring?"

Document is the original of record 117169. It is addressed to BR in Quebec.

BR thanks Eaton for his letter of 29 May and its enclosures, enjoying the cartoon from The Providence Journal.

He agrees with Eaton regarding the FBI and Committee on Un-American Activities. However he does not feel inclined to make a public statement regarding their activities towards Thirring.

"About three years ago I published a very outspoken attack upon the F.B.I., but the response, which was vehemently hostile, led me to think that attacks by non-Americans served no useful purpose", though BR does offer his support to Eaton.

One eighth of the letter has been torn off; the rest is very worn.

Le Ghait thanks BR for having read his paper and replying to it so promptly.

He provides some of his own insights, stating: "I realize that in a war in which many bombs were exploded the problem of fall out would have a global importance and that India, for instance, could be as much affected as the belligerents." He feels unilateral local "'denuclearisations'" are not hopeless.

He requests an appointment with BR, even if for a few minutes, proposing around June 15.

BR thanks Le Ghait for his letter of 31 May. It would be a pleasure to meet him, and he will be available around 15 June. BR is amused by the retort of Sardar Panikkar.

Reply is typed on the verso of Le Ghait's letter.

Khrushchev thanks BR for his letter and the main reports of the Second Pugwash Conference, noting the significance of the Conference's documents.

"In this connection I should like to note that the Soviet government, fully realizing its responsibility for its part in the fate of the world, and trying to facilitate the removal of the threat of atomic war and to promote strengthening of peace, has decided to stop unilaterally the tests of all kinds of nuclear weapons as the first practical step toward this goal, in the hope that other countries which possess atomic weapons will follow this example. Unfortunately, other powers up till now have not supported this initiative."

Vilfan acknowledges Eaton's letter to Tito, President of Yugoslavia, on 11 April and 12 May, thanking him for it on the President's behalf. He encloses the President's reply to BR (see record 117169).

"As regards to the establishment of contact with Yugoslav scientists, I should like to inform you that I have acquainted Dr. Pavle Savic, professor at the University of Beograd and one of the leading Yugoslav nuclear scientists, with the correspondence relating to this matter and with the principal documents from the Second Pugwash Conference."

BR has decided "... that, subject to conditions of health, I will come to the Vienna part of the Scientists' Congress". Edith will go with him. They will fly to Vienna.

McGowan encloses letters for BR to sign and return to Rotblat (not present).

McGowan encloses more invitation letters to the Austrian Pugwash Conference, for BR to sign and return to Rotblat (not present).

"Agenda for the Third Pugwash Conference": "To be held in Kitzbuhel, Austria, September 14th to 19th, and in Vienna, September 20th and 21st."

There is a second copy.

Rotblat thanks BR for his letter informing him of his participation in the Vienna meetings of the Pugwash Conference, for which all expenses for BR and Edith will be paid, Rotblat having received $8,000 "... from a body associated with the World Health Organization in Geneva" and from the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

"Our meeting passed off very well, even although it took us three days to go through the business. I shall be sending you the minutes of the meetings next week so that you will know what we have agreed. The most urgent matter is to send out the invitations to the various scientists."

Schrödinger writes after seeing BR's signature on an invitation to the Kitzbuhel meeting, which he replied to Rabinowitch as saying that due to his unreliable health he cannot formally accept the invitation, but would if he could, and would therefore make his own reservations.

He replies to a letter which BR wrote 5 January which he did not answer initially, "... lest you get frightened at the prospect of a continued correspondence. But allow me to comment on one point in which I disagree with you. With regard to the general ethical demand you say: I do not think one should prefer one's neighbour's good to one's own. I think one should prefer the greater good, whoever is to enjoy it", which Schrödinger goes on to address with several examples of puzzles in ethics.

BR encloses a copy of an "encouraging" letter from Tito, passed to him from Eaton (see record 117169, record 117216 for the Tito letter).
