dated April 17, 1958: Rajaji’s appeal

In a letter to the Editor of the New York Times published on April 15, Mr. C. Rajagopalachari asks the United States to renounce the use of H-Bombs. “The present is a critical point of time and I implore America to ponder over the situation created by the recent declaration by the USSR to abstain from further explosions”. Rajaji says, “Let us be careful even in our suspicions. We will be doing wrong to ourselves if we ignore this solemn declaration of the USSR and go on with our tests explosions. It would produce the most adverse reactions and feelings among those who are not nuclear powers but who are the vast majority of the inhabitants of the earth and who do not like this poisoning of the world with more and more radio-active fallout.”
