The visit to the museum of Hiroshima means
unbearable feelings.
How could men com to this ?
How could men let loose such fury ?
How can men, despite those horrible pieces of
evidence, still stand on the brink of the abyss, on the
brink of nuclear genocide ?
We, mundialists, think that this disastrous situation
is due to the partition of nations, guarded by frontiers
considered "divine".
Though, normally, scientific and technical progress
should have led to a lessening of the importance of
frontiers, their importance has grown with the growth of
the industrial world. Ideological and economic forces
have been made the servants of nationalism, instead of
overcoming it.
That is why, in front of this Memorial, we entreat you
to join us and thing with us of another organization of
the world, of some other plan than this world of
nations-states, each claiming its unrestricted national
sovereignty.
Following high-minded people : Nobel prizes such a
Albert CAMUS, Lunus PAULING, Alfred KASTLER, Albert
EINSTEIN, René CASSIN, Hideki YAKAWA ; prominent
political men such as Lord ATLEE, Pandit NEHRU, sud as
the Mayors of Hiroshima : Shinzo HAMAI, Setsuo YAMADA, we
declare the necessity of a supranational law.
History shows that every time groups of men have
accepted a common law, the wars they waged between one
another ceased. Should, as mundialist advise, a
supranational law, democratically established, rule over
the world, war would disappear between states. Moreover,
it would, then, be possible for mankind to cope with the
basic problems of survival, such as : hunger,
overpopulations, energy crisis or pollution, problems
which Nations-States have been unable to solve.
For the time being, the government leaders do not have
in their power the political or judicial means which
would enable them to take efficient moves towards Peace :
the last stage of democracy, that is : world democracy is
out of mankind's reach until world problems are taken as
a whole.
Therefore, elections must be held to nominate
delegates on a planetary level, elected by the People of
the World, so that the world law may be established, the
world law that, alone, can save our species from nuclear
genocide that is threatening it in the short or long
run.
We must question the unrestricted sovereignty of
Nation-States, - this is the meaning of our CRY OF ALARM
FROM HIROSHIMA.
