What the Senator from Rhode Island is asking is that we pool some of the information to make possible the blessing of the civilian use of atomic energy. It appears to me we Americans are becoming somewhat egomaniacs. or egocentric. We think we have a monopoly upon all wisdom. I would think it is about time we recognized that the greatest achievement of our time in the realm of science was not stamped "100 percent American." As a matter of fact. it came from some refugees. We were blessed by the stupidity of Hitler. who drove from the midst of the Germans great scientists. We were blessed by the stupidity and ignorant attitudes of Mussolini. who drove from Italy a man like Fermi.
