"You ask whether it is possible for Lord Russell to contribute a paper stating his position on the disarmament question in the Centennial Review. Unfortunately he has had regretfully to decline a number of invitations of this kind, owing to the immense amount of work he has still to get through, despite the fact that he is 86. However, we have just published a short book by Lord Russell on this very subject, entitled Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare, and I suggest that you select a suitable passage from this for your Review."
