They point out that there | are few individuals who have sufficient | experience and knowledge to afford the inherent risks involved in speculation.

In addition, police in towns in the eréa have confiscated dozens of rifles in ‘he past ten days and, according to police “wiicers, intend to take every rifle they nd: The officers point out that a .22-rifle an kill at a milewange. While there: may be some excuse for the possession of a .22-caliber rifle in parsely setthed areas, there is no reason whatever for their presenee in thickly- opulated sections. When immature vungsters have pégsession of such rifles, hey inevitably use them for “target shoot- uf” and this means, in the long run, that me of the bullets find human targets. HOW MUCH DID YOU KNOW AT 187 In 1943 Governor Arnall induced the ‘egislature of his State of Georgia to wer the voting age to 18. Since then some public men and women have advocated the change on a national basis. President 'ruman put his blessing on this movement ! @ recent speech in Chicago, when he reed giving the 18-year olds the right to te—backing up his recommendation by 4“ statement that the 18-year olds are re- quired to serve in the armed forces, and e declared that to be proof that youths of that age are able to vote intelligently. —$—<$_ The rapid demobilization of Ameri- an forces in Europe leaves nothing to re- tain Russian ambition. t _—————____.

There ; Nazi regime, but: insofar as, the Russian ATOMIC-BOMB FEVER The people of the United States are atomic bomb-conscious and even the sales letters that one now receives from com- mercial enterprises take advantage of the that a prompt purchase will do something about the new era. j We are not advised as to the number of individuals who assisted in the develop- ment of the widely-advertised atomic bomb, but theslist grows daily, as we scan the pronouncements of individuals in the public press, and, if it keeps up much longer, there will be few adults in the nation without some claim to having taken part in the development of the atomic bomb. é Every once in a while, some research worker, who was closely connected with the “atomie bomb project”, takes occasion to deliver his views as to the world situa- tion. Many of them predict “another war”, unless the bomb can be placed under the | control of an international organization. The unthinking are immediately led to the conclusion that if the, United States gives away its atomic bomb secrets, the danger | of warfare will pass and the world will be guaranteed a long era of peace. This represents what we consider dangerous thinking. The United States will not go to war simply because it possesses the atomic bomb. In fact, few wars are fought solely because a nation possesses a weapon. Obviously, weapons, equipment and paraphernalia for war are developed by all nations but sometimes when a war- like nation or people believes that it ‘has secured superior military power, the in- | cidence of warfare is enhanced. We do not believe that many edu- cated people in other nations believe that the United States is a warlike nation. Con- | sequently, we doubt if they are afraid of | the atomic bomb secret which we possess. This much was plainly asserted by Wins- ton Churchill in his recent speech at Ful- | ton, Missouri. The thinking people of the world, however, do not have the same faith in the peaceful intentions of all other nations. atomic bomb in the hands of the Nazi Similarly, they are pernment might do if it possessed the atomic bomb. ye do not mean’ to put the Russians ‘is‘no doubt of the devilish intention’ of the Government is concerned, the ‘apprehen- sion arises, not from a knowledge of | known belligerent intentions. The fear | | arises from a lack of knowledge of Rus- | sian intentions, which, upon closer ac- quaintance, may prove to be as peaceful | as those of the Government of the United | States. Turkey, be it noted, has not yet de- mobilized. You can persuade some people with | reason, others with threats, and some with slick appeals to self-interest but every once in a while you come across a speci- men that won’t budge. Perhaps the dread cancer can be cured or at least controlled by the treat- ment of atomic energy. Then the research for the isotopes,.made possible by atom- | splitting in a cyclotron, which cost the United States $2,000,000,000 every bit of that tremendous outlay in money and more. LEAGUE DIES; IDEA LIVES The League of Nations, championed by the late President Woodrow Wilson after the first World War, is about ready | to close up its affairs and bequeath its | hopes to the néw-founded United Nations Organizations. The world situation is somewhat dif- | ferent from what it was. Now the United | States vigorously supports the principle of international cooperation, with President Truman pledging unlimited faith and | fullest support to the new world organiza- | | tion. In 1918, President Wilson gave voice | to the same sentiments but his efforts were | bushwhacked by politicians in this coun- | try, including some who have given | notable lip-service to the cause of a League organization. | The failure of the League may have | | been inevitable, inasmuch as it was the initial effort of modern nations to set up something of a world order, but the failure | of the United States to give its active sup- | port and powerful strength to the League ‘cut the ground from under its feet. “LJELLO, Sherlock,” said Leslie Germaine.

That and his precious son, Paul.” Rush looked at her strangely. Leslie interpreted the _look. “Oh, I know he's dead now. That's his own fault. If he'd had the brains of an ant, he'd be in clover now.” Rush raised his eyebrows at her and she realized she was saying more than she intended. “Why do you suppose he got killed?” asked Rush. Leslie’s eyes widened again. “Why, I don’t know, I thought you did. That’s your job, isn’t it?” “Yes,” said Rush, “that’s my job, and I know. I also know ft at you know.” “Do you?” asked Leslie.
