Many of us are inclined to say
That individual Germans share their guilt
For acts which Germany committed during this war
Because they did not raise their voices
In protest against those acts
Their defense that their protest
Would have been to no avail
Hardly seems acceptable
Even though these Germans could not have protested
Without running risks to life and liberty
We scientists working on atomic power
Are in a position to raise our voices
Without such risks
Even though we might incur the displeasure
Of those who are at present in charge
The people of the United States
Are well aware of the choice we face
And this only increases our responsibility
In this matter
We alone who have worked on atomic power
We alone are in a position to declare or stand
I think it improper for a scientist
To use his prestige as a platform
For political pronouncements
