Then a professor of religious studies at Wales, Cardiff, and previously in philosophy, Palmer, who visited RA on 18 August 1997, encloses his recollection of BR's speech at Westminster School, [20 Nov. 1948]. A student then, he describes the bombed-out school Hall in Dean's Yard, London SW1. Some boys were allowed in as ushers or fill-ups around the edges. BR spoke from a low dais with a lecturn in front of him. Those further back could see only his crown of white air above the lecturn. During question period an elderly lady asked him to stand on something.

"Russell's talk was to this effect: the terrible possibilities revealed by atomic bombs meant that peace and indeed human life could be preserved only by a strong and armed world- government. We should form one at once. If the Russians refused to join, we should drop the bomb on Moscow to compel them to."

The scene returned to Palmer many years later. "There is, I think, no longer any serious dispute over what Russell then advocated.". Palmer cites Auto., 3: 18.
