The Government has decided | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
that in the present state of international tension, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
you should be told how best to protect yourselves | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
from the dangerous effects of nuclear attack. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
If this tension should lead to war, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
it is essential that you shall have taken every possible precaution | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
to safeguard your family, yourself and your home. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:34 | |
This film will show what are the dangers to expect | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
and the best means of protection. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |

From the beginning of 1945, | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
the whole of Japan was within the bombing range | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
of the United States Strategic Air Force, based in the Marianas. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
The people seem to us quaint, a little amusing, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
with their polite formalities. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
The cherry blossom... | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
and the sharp sword. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Humility... | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
and arrogance. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
A taste for the delicate... | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
and the gross. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:46 | |
The real Japan, the aggressor we fought to destroy, | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
was based on the creed of blind obedience to the state. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
It's not difficult to create a race of puppets | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
if you start on them young and never let up. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
Taught that death in battle is the greatest glory. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
Mr President, why did you drop the atom bomb? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:18 | |
Three weeks after the first experimental blast, | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
Only two minutes to go. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
The standby signal to all hands. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
Those neutrons bombard other uranium atoms, | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
causing them to split, and split still others. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
The result? | 0:08:45 | 0:08:46 | |
-A chain reaction. -EXPLOSION | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |

as we used to stand on Armistice Day. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |

We look at the world... | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
and we see madness. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 | |
Today, we live under the threat of nuclear weapons | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
with a destructive power 1,000 times greater | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
than those exploded at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
What IS the American way of life? | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
Or the British way of life, or the Russian way of life? | 0:13:48 | 0:13:53 | |
The fact of the matter is, it isn't a darn thing if we do not have life. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
I feel that if we really are interested in the future | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
of our children, this is the smallest thing we can do, | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
to join this procession, in our small way, to ensure their future. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |

I did this march in the lockout in 1926. | 0:14:54 | 0:15:00 | |
We slept on the Corn Exchange floor at Reading | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
and we had sausage and mash in Maidenhead Workhouse, | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
supplied by the Co-operative Society. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
I was very proud of that march, | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
but I'd be frightfully ashamed of myself | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
if I had not come on this march. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
I would never be able to look the children in the face | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
if I had not come on this march. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
It isn't much, but it's all I can do, and it's my best, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
and if everybody else did their best, the children of the future | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
would be saved from the atom and hydrogen bomb. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Tension continues to mount in the world situation. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
Nevertheless, the Government has just announced | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
that its negotiations are continuing. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
There were fresh reports today of an unidentified submarine | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
shadowing units of the United States fleet | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
at present carrying out manoeuvres in the Far East. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
Now, here's an important announcement. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
The Government has decided to call up | 0:15:59 | 0:16:00 | |
all members of the Civil Defence Corps | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
to report to their headquarters. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
How on earth are we all going to stay in one little room | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
for days and nights on end? | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
We'd all end up in the madhouse! | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
Better there than the mortuary, Mrs Richards. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
The Government has decided | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
that in the present state of international tension, | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
you should be told how best to protect yourselves | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
from the dangerous effects of nuclear attack. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |

Many will show varying degrees of non-effectiveness. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
This will be due to the emotional impact | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
of being exposed to massive physical destruction | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
and great personal danger. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |

# Last night as I lay sleeping | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
# My heart was filled with dread | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
# I dreamt that the bomb had fallen | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
# And a million people were dead | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
# Millions of people were moaning | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
# A million were lying there dead | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
# I looked that whole scene over | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
# And these were the words I said | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
# We could have been happy and peaceful | 0:24:37 | 0:24:42 | |
# The bomb could be banned easily | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
# But those politicians | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
# Did everything but agree | 0:24:49 | 0:24:54 | |
# Then a voice came out of the rubble | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |

# "We'll tell you who's really guilty" | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
# Then they all started shouting my name | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
# "You gave politicians their power | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
# "You sat back and watched the TV | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |

I just think it is against the... | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
The betterment of world peace, you know? | 0:32:53 | 0:32:55 | |
