Prof warns of nuclear war
By ANN LOWRY Staff Reporter
People concerned about nuclear warfare should "get off their butts and get to work," a visiting ethics professor said yesterday.
"Our job is to try to influence our leaders," John Swinton, professor of social ethics at the St. Paul School of Theology, in Kansas City, Mo., said in his address on "Ethical Dimensions of Nuclear War."
Swonley spoke to about 50 people at the weekly Ecumenical Christian Ministries forum.
"We have to foresee the consequences of nuclear war," Swornley said. "In and around most of the major cities of the United States and the Soviet Union are missile sites, factories or components or oil refineries."
These locations would be targets for first strikes, he said.
SWOMLEY'S SPEECH was part of a series of lectures on 150 campuses, established by the Union for Concerned Students at Cambridge University in Cambridge, England, to inform people of the hazards of nuclear war.
His lecture at KU was sponsored by KU-Y.
Swolemey said that when experts estimated possible nuclear war death tolls, "these statements are uttered in a public comment to the American people."
He quoted a February 1980 study of nuclear war conducted by the medical schools at Harvard and Tufts universities in Boston.
The impact of one nuclear bomb on the Boston area would destroy everything within four miles, Swenson said, quoting the report. People 40 miles away who turned toward the blast would be blinded by the flash of energy.
He said 2.2 million of the three million people living in the area would die. It would take the estimated 900 surviving to spend 15 minutes with each casualty.
Swomley said people should form discussion groups to take action against such warfare because it was immoral.
He said the goal of nuclear preparedness was immoral because missiles were aimed at some neutral countries.
QUESTIONING THE motive of nuclear war, Swomley said it was "to
ensure American domination and, if necessary, destroy rivals."
Nuclear arms are immoral, Swomley said, because of the destruction they have inflicted on their allies.
Swomley said present policies would not be sufficient to prevent such war.
"I think we need to recognize the weakness in the doctrine of deterrence," Swomley said.
As an example, he cited the 1982 Cuban missile crisis, when the United States required the Soviet Union to remove missiles from Cuba. He said the United States stuck to its demand despite threats from the Soviet Union to force the United States to remove its missiles from Turkey.
"If the U.S. was not deterred by the threat of Soviet destruction can we be assured of deterrence?" Swomley asked.
He said the need to produce arms to keep up with the Soviet Union was not as desperate as the people were led to believe by facts and figures.
Swoley led the Soviet Union's expenditure of a larger percentage of its gross national product on nuclear arms than the percentage spent by the United States was due to a lack of efficient Soviet technology.
