Poster: 17" x 22 ½". Hiroshima/Nagasaki: Thirty Years, August 6, 1945/August 9, 1945. 35-mile Walk for Peace—Santa Monica to Long Beach [1975]. Sponsored by: Women Strike for Peace, War Resisters League, American Friends Service Committee, The Catholic Worker Peoples Action Union—South Bay, Military Services Counseling Center, Free Venice Resistance Fellowship of Reconciliation, National Association of Social Workers, St. Justin Martyr Social Action Group. On the back, quote by Allen Ginsburg, Dec. 16, 1969. "No Money, No War." Government Anarchy prolongs illegal planet war over decades in Vietnam. Federal Anarchy plunges U.S. cities into violent chaos. Conscientious objection to war tax payment subsidizing mass murder abroad and consequent ecological disaster at home will save lives & labor and is the gentlest way of political revolution in America. If money talks, several hundred thousand citizens refusing tax payments to our war government will short circuit the nerve system of our electronic bureaucracy.

The U.S. occupation of Japan began in 1945 following World War II and lasted until 1952. Under "demilitarization" and "democratization" policy, the United States sought to restructure Japan's government, economy, and society to encourage political allegiance and limit the likelihood of a return to arms. The materials in this collection document this period in the history of Japan.

Collier's, August 5, 1950. "Hiroshima, U.S.A. Can anything be done about it?" Note about the cover: When Chesley Bonestell (pronounced Bon-es-tell) was commissioned, five years after Hiroshima was destroyed, to paint a conception of an A-bomb attack on Manhattan, he sought an aerial view of a scene he has often witnessed from a plane while coming in at New York's La Guardia Field. You're looking at the blast from a point approximately 1,500 feet over the Statue of Liberty, with the Battery and the financial district in the foreground and the Empire State Building (reflecting the orange blast) uptown at the left. The story of this story: "For five years now the world has lived with the dreadful knowledge that atomic warfare is possible. Since last September, when the President announced publicly that the Russians too had produced an atomic explosion, this nation has lived face to face with the terrifying realization that an attack with atomic weapons could be made against us. But, until now, no responsible voice has evaluated the problem constructively, in words everybody can understand. Collier's gives it more than customary space in the conviction that, when the danger is delineated and the means to combat it effectively is made clear, democracy will have an infinitely stronger chance to survive." |

"First there was one finger on the atomic trigger; now there are five and soon more nations may join the nuclear club. Can the spread of nuclear weapons be halted? In an urgent message to the disarmament conference in Geneva, President Johnson called this 'the most important task on earth.' In this week's cover story, Senior Editor Edwin Diamond-who has visited Hiroshima and watched atomic tests in Nevada—writes of the problems of proliferation." pp. 52-57. |
