MARCH TO ALDERMASTON

WHY?

BECAUSE we must show our opposition to the Testing, Storing and Manufacture of the H-Bomb in Britain.

If we make no protest now we have given our consent to its use.

“All who are opposed on any ground to Nuclear Weapons, whether possessed by the British, American or Russian Governments, are welcome.”
