The greatest enemy of man kind, as people have discovered is not science, but war science merely reflects the social
forces by which it is surrounded. If is found that when there is pease, science is perverted to destructive ends. The
weapons which science gives us do not necessarily create war, there make war increasingly more terrible. Unitil now it has brought
us to the doorstep of doom. Our main problem, therefore , is not curb science , but to stop war to substitute law for force and international
government for arnarechy in the relations of one nation with another . That is a job in which everybody must participate, including the scientists.
But the bomb of Hiroshima suddenly woke us up to the fact that we have a very little time. The hour is late and our work has scanecely begun. Now we are
face to face with this urgent question, "Can education and tolerance, understanding and creative intelligence run fast enough to keep us abreerst with
our own mounting capacity to destory "? That is the question which we shall have to answer one way or the other in this generation . Science must help
us in the answer, but the main decision lies within ourselves.
The phrase our work has scarcely begun implies that our work :
$\begin{array}{1 1}\text{has not yet begun} \\\text{has begun but not yet completed }\\\text{has only just begun } \\\text{has been half way through } \end{array} $
