That new language is the language of atomic warfare.

On
,
the United States set off the world's first atomic
test explosion at Alamagordo in New Mexico. Since that fateful day,
the atomic age has moved forward at such a pace that today I consider
that certain facts should be taken out of the realm of conjecture and
stated officially.
CO,
I beg you to believe that the facts I shall reveal concerning the
atomic power of the United States are not presented boastfully, or
truculently, or threateningly. On the contrary, I, who know better than
most the language of destruction, utter them with sober sadness.
This recital of atomic danger and power is necessarily stated
in United States terms, for these are the incontrovertible facts which I
know. You must, however, bear in mind that no area of the world, no
matter how remote, could consider itself completely immune to some
of the results were atomic warfare to occur on our planet.
