The Road to Survival

ABSTRACT

The National Committees of Science for Peace and the Medical Association for the Prevention of War have jointly investigated the reports of biplogical warfare in Korea and North East China. They have examined the bacteriological, entomological, and epidemiological reports submitted to them. These have undoubtedly been furnished by Chinese scientists of repute, some known personally to British scientists. While there is nothing to suggest that the bacteriological and entomological findings are not genuine, the reports of the investigations are incomplete and, taken by itself, the scientific evidence so far examined by the committees is inconclusive. In view of the gravity of the charges, and of the circumstantial evidence available, the committees consider that the charge that biological warfare has been waged by American forces should be investigated by a commission of impartial persons expert in bacteriology, entomology, and epidemiology. The committees will give all possible support to the formation of such a commission. Resolution passed unanimously on 20th May, 1952. A. H. GORDON Mill Hill, London, England
