text: for peace and disarmament. An increasing number of scholars and realistically-minded politicians are thinking in terms of this approach. It has also been reflected in modern art. This was convincingly demonstrated to us quite recently in Mexico City where we saw the March of Humanity Polyforum, a work of the outstanding artist Siqueiros. This talented painter forcefully argues that civilization , with its common past suffering s, is united in the creative efforts of today and in the progress towards tomorrow and that mankind's grandiose forward march must not be stopped by the forces of folly, the forces of war and militarism. BHS/gmr A/C.l/40/PV.S 13 (Mr. Petrovsky, USSR} The great Einstein was in effect warning of the same danger when he said that "modern weapons required a new way of thinking if mankind were to survive and develop in the ascendant" . He also said that while bullets killed people, the atomic bombs could destroy entire cities; while a tank could resist a hail of bullets, natural science knew of no protection against weapons capabe of destroying the whole civilization. I think that those warnings not only have retained their relevance but have become even more relevant. One can draw little comfort from what is happening in the world today. International tensions are on the rise. The threat of a nuclear-missile holocaust is not receding. According to the estimates recently made by the organization "International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear war" -which has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize -more than 2 billion people would become victims of such a war if it were to break out. The direct consequences of nuclear explosions would be aggravated by long-term effects, including the advent of the so-called nuclear winter. Nevertheless, the race in both nuclear and other weapons is continuing . 
analysis: The text discusses the threat of nuclear war and the need for disarmament and peaceful coexistence. It references the work of an artist and quotes Einstein's warnings about the dangers of modern weapons. The text also mentions a Nobel Peace Prize awarded to an organization. These themes suggest that the text is more focused on international relations and peace than on specific economic or social issues.
