Unemployment was set up to act as a @eehten for the jobless; as a means for an woneet werker to keep going while in woareh for another job. The eystem is supported by payroll tenes which, like all other taxes, must be pelt for by workers in the cost of the goods whieh they buy.

Barnes of the Pieridae Industrial Commission has sound- oa the alert signal and has promised vigor- » Preseeution and reprisals to those who draw weekly benefits; those who try to evade either the legal or moral intent of the lew. He realizes that the situation must be met by the honest workers who are wilting te work, and by the general public, beth of which should reeognize their re- sponsibility and report known cases direct te the Commission. Thus far Florida has made a favora- bie record — below the national average i freed cases. The national average is one- helf of one per cent; Florida's average is weiter three-tenths of one per cent. This average can be reduced however by co- Veedation of ali who are interested in law “PATorcement ——_ ‘The tolerance of certain groups moves in « lenlted area.

Many oi of dents will ride in automobiles or fly in air- planes propelled by atomic energy. Later op, in homes many. appliancés, now operated by electricity, will be power- ed by atomic energy. Discussion of the splitting of the atom had been going on for centuries be- fore United States physicists and other scientists succeeded in releasing the energy in atoms. As far back as 1908, when it was thought that the secret of the atom had been solved, scientists said that a thimble- ful of atoms would supply sufficient pow- er to propel the Mauretania, then the larg- j est ship aflodt, from New York to South- hampton, England, and back. One needs to look back only 100 years to determine the great advances that have been made in the sciences. Many conven- iences in life today would have been thought impossibilities a century ago. It should be borne in mind that inventions or discoveries are cumulative, as a result of which advances are accelerated year after year. A-century from now the world will have inventions that, were they described to us today, we would look upon them as impossibilities, as the people of a century ago would have considered many things that are commonplace today. Mental expansion is limitless. The day may come when man’s mind will advance from the finite to the infinite. THE STRENGTH IN NON-VIOLENCE The theory that non-violence can pre- serve peace or win justice for nations re- ceived some impetus. from the fact that leading Indians announced a non-violence policy toward Great Britain. The strength of a non-violence policy, however, depends on the..moral . develop- ment of the persons or nation against which it is direeted. In the case of India, for example, the British Government, if it had not been restrained by moral con- siderations, could have overthrown the non-violence policy in India. Much the same thing applies to the proposal that non-violence be used to set- tle the affairs of the world. Already, in most Western nations, many of the ques- tions affecting mankind are settled by non-violent means. This includes family, civic and even economic difficulties. The process has not spread to the internation- al scene because of the obvious fact that the non-violence policy must be accepted by both sides to a dispute, To be successful in settling any dis- pute, whether between nations or indi- viduals, non-violence depends on the readiness of both parties to depend on moral force rather than to rely on physi- eal force. In short, it depends on moral growth and works as an expression of moral development. FAR EAST MUST SAVE ITSELF The armies in China are manoeuver- ing for another decisive battle in the long struggle between the Communist forces and those of the Nationalist government, with the probability that victory for the Communists will all but end organized op- Position to the Reds on a scale permitting hope of success, The crisis offers another opportunity for review of American policy in China and the Far East, with proponents of as- sistance to the Chinese Nationalists de- manding that prompt help from the United States will save the Far East from the Communists. It ought to be apparent, by this time, that the answer to all world problems is not to be found entirely in assistance from the United States. While we have great faith in the dollar itis not possi- ble, through the advance of funds, to avert the dangers that lurk in the Far East. It will take more than money and arms and the answer is not tobe found in Washington, Somewhere in the teem- ing millions of Asiatic countries must be found the moral fibre that alone defends men and nations frem disintegration, - {Driver.
