The Price of Arms
~ACH year that the world is without effective measures of disarmament the nations spend incalculable sums on weapons of war, laying at the rich altars of death billions which are denied to the poor and the living. Factories of destruction flourish while men starve, hospitals fall into disrepair and schools are not built, Men test weapons of such diabolic effect that the air the Himalayan herdsman breathes and the rain that falls on the High Andes ate less pure than they were. Then not content with adding new man-made poisons to the air, the nations plan to invade outer space with inter-continental missiles as the envoys of their common distrust. This is the indictment considered by "the court of human reason and conscience" in Disarmament on Trial, a dramatised feature recently produced by United Nations Radio. It will be heard from YA stations and 4YZ at 9.30 a.m, this coming Sunday, June 2.
