Dear Friends and Co-Workers:
GREETINGS! in Jesus' name: Here we are, already well
into 1948, a slumbering, indifferent, pleasure-loving world
plunging heedlessly to its DOOM! Yet, despite spiritual lethargy,
the sober, all-important work of God, to WARN our nations and
proclaim the TRUE Gospel to a dying world, is progressing in
greater and greater power against most trying circumstances and
obstacles.
The official United States government view now is:
"ATOMIC WAR IN FIVE YEARS!" The government foreign policy, and
military strategy is geared to that schedule. One top-flight radio
news reporter, I am told, stated to the nation that Russia had the
audacity indirectly to notify the United States she will attack
with atomic bombs in five years!
Five-star General Arnold, head of United States air
forces in World War II, states bluntly in an article that America
has won her last war---she will lose next time! Is the atomic bomb
a secret? NO! says Dr. Robert M. Hutchins, chancellor of the
University of Chicago, where the first atomic explosion was set
off, in an article in the American magazine (Dec. '47). The FACT
is, he candidly reveals, a great part of the preliminary work,
and most of the subsequent work in producing the bomb was done by
foreigners. Of the ten top scientists, half were GERMAN, one was
French, One Danish, one Italian, one American. The Germans were
far ahead of us at the outbreak of World War II. Every single
basic idea in atomic fission came from a European mind! America
merely applied these ideas and PRODUCED the bomb. ALL these
foreign scientists know how to produce the bomb! Today they are
scattered throughout the world. THERE IS NO SECRET! Can Russia
make atomic bombs? OF COURSE, answers Dr. Hutchins. IS Russia
making them? It would be foolish to assume she is not, he replies.
Two years ago it was known Russia had the secret, and an able
scientist then prophesied she would complete her first atomic bomb
in three years---one year from now! There are 27 first-class
nuclear physicists in Russia! Inside five years from now, Russia
will have enough bombs in production to blast every city in the
United States out of existence over-night! AND THERE IS NO
DEFENSE!
One medium-sized bomb could wipe out of existence
Indianapolis, Denver, Portland, Atlanta, or Jersey City! It is now
possible to make bombs 1,000 times that powerful! By taking
