Curtis would like to borrow BR's Halley Stewart lecture.

"The secretary of the Sir Halley Stewart Trust has sent me the synopsis of your lecture.... Could you ... let me see your full lecture, and take a copy of it? I would return your script to you the same day."

Curtis's lecture was "The Political Repercussions of Atomic Power". He began it thus:

"In his essay Lord Russell propounded the thesis that 'fundamental values are unaffected by political events'. I agree so strongly that all that I have to say to-night on the political repercussions of atomic power will be based on Lord Russell's thesis" (p. 104).

P. 126: Curtis agrees with BR that world government is our goal, "but I differ when he adds that he does not think the democratic road to world government is practicable." Curtis opposes a world despotism, "which, in my view, would be worse than the total destruction of human life on this earth. The one ray of hope he [BR] offers is a world-wide hegemony of the United States. Thoughtful Americans would, I believe, recoil from putting their country in such a position."
