In the United Kingdom, the venerable Congress of Trade Unions could be intoxicated by this demagogic campaign to such an extent that it clamored for the unilateral disarmament of its country. Dozens of organizations and hundreds of smaller local committees are working intensively against armaments in the United States. The prolifera- tion of peace groups is still greater in Asia, especially in Japan which is peculiarly—and quite understandably—sensitive to the horrors of nuclear bombardment. The movement appears to have no financial problems. It seems able to insert massive advertising at will in the most expensive newspapers of the free world, to organize luxurious international co es and enormous rallies, to hire vociferous pickets surrounding U.S. Embas- sies, and to disseminate spoken and written words through floods of radio and television programs; torrents of books, pamphlets, jeaflete, notices, and posters. It gathers overnight dozens of prestigious signatures to burning manifestos. It persuades chubby babies to enthusiastically offer their first teeth to be analyzed for strontium 40 which might have been accumulated from milk produced by cows who had eaten grass poisoned by radioactive fallout. Of course the Soviet cows, being Communist, produce no milk containing strontium 40, despite the numerous nuclear tests —including the “leaky underground” explosions. “Whe peace movement slso charters special planes to fly hundreds of women from Los Angeles or Caracas to Geneva, to buttonhole Dis- armament Conference delegates. It induces frogmen to plant peace banners on anchored Polaris submarines. It persuades histronic stars, enlists generals, inflames Nobel Prize winners, penetrates churches, intoxicates logicians, and intimidates Presidents. _T Lenin, "Lett-Wing Communism, an Infantile Disorder" (1000) Selected Works (Lnternationsl Publishera, New York, 1343), voi.
