This is a petition to the President of the United States. We, the
Undersigned scientists, have been working in the field of atomic
Power. Until recently, we have had to fear that in this war the
United States might be attacked, the United States might be attacked
By atomic bombs, and that our only defense might lie in a
Counterattack by the same means. Today, with the defeat of Germany
This danger is averted, and we feel impelled to say what follows
The machinery has caught us in its trap
And we can't talk now. You want to know if it works
. Atomic bombs may well be effective warfare, but attacks
On Japan cannot be justified until we make clear the
Terms of peace and give them a chance to surrender
What do we know about Japanese psychology? How
Can we scientists judge the way to end the war?
We must first devise a demonstration where there won't be
Any people. Not on a city, on a demonstration, right here
In the desert. Let them send observers, see for themselves
