THE ORACLE A BRITISH REQUEST ATOM BOMBS The creation of a new United States- British-Canadian partnership on the pro- duction of atomic weapons has been pro- yosed by the British Government; which feels that since British scientists are on the Point of producing plutonium—an es- sential ingredient of the atomic bomb, the British Government cannot permanently Gerée not to develop the destructive wea- pow and thus put its security in the hands of another country. ‘StirThe British proposed, according to . press dispatches, that they will agree not @- produce atomic bombs although con- “tinuing explorations into the development of new weapons and that British scientists would grant to the United States all in- formation they acquire that might be use- *fulin promoting unified atomic weapons. This is subject, however, to the mutual ex- .MMiitize of such information and to the <= further condition that an unspecified num- "her of bombs, made in the United States, be stored in the United Kingdom. The British originally intended to pro- ~ ceed with their plans to manufacture at- S.amic bombs and weapons but now believe “that, with Russia able to produce atomic can be made if explosions, faster progres setentific information is pooled and manu- facturing of bombs is concentrated in one place. Their suggestion that a certain number or bombs be stored in the British Isles formerly met with some objection in United States but some emphasis is pos- the now being placed upon the tactical sibilities of atomic weapons in support of grownd troops and it is believed that all atomic bombs should not be as far away as the United States and Canada. \ Before the United States can enter in- fo an atomic pact with the British, how- ever, Congressional action will be neces- Under present laws, an exchange of infermation about the use of atomic energy dustrial purposes is prohibited and for i neerning the manufacture or utiliz- aiion.of atomic weapons and the produc- fied Of fissionable material are regarded @s restricted. It is perfectly natural for the British Government to feel that it cannot stand idly by while other nations amass a stock- pilé of atomic bombs. The significant feature of the change, however, is the apparent willing- ness of the three English-speaking nations to get together in connection with the pro- data c ex- duction of the world’s most destructive weapon. Such cooperation, when con- summated, wil demonstrat to the world the close ties which bind the three coun- t¥ies together, forming a partnership that is stronger than one set up by a treaty. TO DEBATE FOREIGN ISSUES There are several poli¢ies invelved in the foreign relations of the United States which will come under severe attack in the present session of Congréss,"Bvehi the highly-praised bipartisan support of Amer- ican action in international fields will be tested by the reluctance of some Repebli- cans to continue a | non-pantisans«koreign er involiel in the di8ca8&ion will be the amount of money to be provided ..to Im- plement the Marshall Plan. That there 800,000,000 allocation is to be expected but’ the extent of the cut isto be deter- mined by the Congress itself. There is also involved the necessity of providing. funds to carry forward the military assistance program for the North Atlantic Treaty countries. Here, again, there is a question as to the amount of money which this country should expend for the purpose. Also involved is the implementation of the President’s suggestion that we assist in helping the world’s economically backward areas. The présent ‘proposal is that we finance thé work Of étperts dnd specialists in the effort to.help the back- ward peoples to imprové.their economic outlook. ; The question of spending dollars for through the Marshall Plan, the military assistance program or the aid to back- ward regions, runs into the strong drive for economy. Whether this be the result of a desire on the part of Congressmen to avoid increased taxation to balance the budget or to cut expenditures, the net result will be the same. One thing is cer- tain, however. This is that the foreign policy of the United States and much of our influence among the nations of the world depend upon the willingness of y to continue stance to other the people of this countr: program of financial as: peoples. a The wages of sin have been reduced very little. Life is impeded by people whe want the benefits without the accompanying obligations. SHOULD WE DEFEND FORMOSA? The defense of Formosa, the island stronghold off the coast of China, still in the hands of the Nationalists, depends upon the willingness of the United States to send some help to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek or the strength of the forces that we are willing to use for the purpose. There is much talk about the value of Formosa to the United States in the event of trouble in the Far East but it is rather diffi as it is to the Chinese mainland, can be- come a bastion that we can defend from attack. The case of China constitutes a prob- lem for our government which, some months ago, had to decide. whether it would bolster the Nationalist armies with American forces or let nature ° take’ its course in the Chinese civil-war. The latter course left the defense of, the Nationalist regime to its own fighting men who proy- ed insufficient for the job. How far the United States would have had to extend itself to reverse the course of events in China is uncertain but there is little in- dication that public opinion in this country would have supported armed intervention in China. about the course of just be sure you are right and hold aith. Never worry events to your f WHAT EXPLAINS SUCCESS? An idea seems to be spreading throughout the land that men and Women achieve success through the operation of government rather than by their wm pa, tient persistence in honest endeavor: The reader of The Key West Citizen, especially young men and women, should not be misled in this respect. They should realize that worthwhile success in life is achieved almost exclusively through per- sonal endeavor. After all is said and done, the vast ma- jority of business successes. owe their growth to one or more rare individuals who give to the enterprise a contribution that includes, not only physical effort, but superior intelligence and the wisdom that arises from the intangible thing that we call “character.” will be a reduction from the present $3,+/ Str ES ‘The Associated Press te i th tae seneaund this pape! ee One Year 00 eek x ——_—_———— of a ohne f mt bd: q 3 to be 8 cents : tae! a pen ‘al interest phate Ey « the improvement of other areas, whether ult to believe that the island, as close | | | , lightful time visixing the tide gn on ‘such a. hurireds, worked ap and th ‘or! . as" P like: the: eight of folly: But was the yery recklessness of the ‘scheme Reet we them a pos- sible chance ing.
