Attached to Ritner's letter of 9 Sept. 1954. A negative photostat.

"As soon as Russia rejected the Baruch proposals, I urged that all nations favouring international control of atomic energy should form an alliance, and threaten Russia with war unless Russia agreed to come in and permit inspection." "Even at such a price, I think war would be worth while. Communism must be wiped out, and world government must be established." "I do not think the Russians will yield without war." BR's views have modified during the past year. In a few years the West will be in a better position.
