HEINE The Marshallese people were a very warlike people less than a hundred years ago, but since then == after Christianized and educated by Amrican Hissionaries -- we have laid dowm our arms and never picked them up since, -During all this time, we have knorn of only one murder case and that was over thirty years ago. HRREK HUH HHH HK I have come here as a guest of the State Department to answer questions that may arise when the Marshallese petition to the United Nations regarding the last H-bomb test comes up before the Trusteeship Council for discussion. Some cf our people were hurt during the recent nuclear test and we have asked the aid of the United Nations of which the United States is a member, and to which it is answerable for its administration of the Trust Territory, to stop the experiments there. Or, if this is not possible, then to be a little more careful. I have noticed that it is illegal to set off fire-crackers in New York to celebrate the Fourth of July. I read in the paper that several people were arrested for violating this safety rule. The H~bomb is a "super-fire-cracker" which needs "super-safety rules" in its handling. I have great faith in the Americm people's sense of justice and I have great hope that I will be able to go back and report to the Marshallese people favorable answers resulting from this meeting which I have kindly been invited to participate in by the United States Govemment as a representative of the Marshallese people, July 6, 1954 Hifi tt # 9001029
