And The Biggest Club
The problem of armament and disarmament dates back to the day when two furry creatures swung down from the trees, picked up a club apiece, and stood growling suspiciously at each other.
Neither could afford to lay down his club first—so they have been carrying them ever since.
Only now civilization has constructed the biggest club the world has ever seen—the atomic bomb—and only one nation has it—the United States.
And the United States wants to give it away with only one important proviso-international inspection. Our government wants to give

That is the substance of the Baruch plan.
But Russia is reluctant to surrender its sovereignty (as it considers international inspection) and admit uncontrollable forces within its jealous borders and the contaminating influences of the capitalistic countries to soil the carefully-guarded minds of the Soviet masses.
Russia has no reason to trust anyone. For 23 years it faced the inimical world alone and got allies at last only in the face of a common enemy,
Russia has good reason to suspect that the majority of the nations of the world would like nothing better than to see the collapse of the communist experiment. So Russia would rather continue its research until it, too, has the atomic bomb.
Each nation will wonder: suppose they hit us first. Its will build up its stockpiles, its planes and its rockets, and each atomic bomb will cry out for destruction.
Then the two great nations of the world will stand, club in hand, growing suspiciously—if nervously —across the seas.
Life will go on, of course—like the farmers tilling the steep sides of Vesuvius. And, finally, unless common sense tosses suspicion and sovereignty into the discard, Vesuvius will erupt.

The antiquarians, probably, will not be human.
