An Empire Task
rom the London Daily Mail.

from the bondon Daily Mail.
We repeat again that it is the para
mount duty of this Government to see
that the British Empire is not left
behind in its development either for
military or peaceful purposes. We have
been given to understand by those who
should know that one powerful objec-
ton to the establishment of the neces-
sary plant here dor the production Of
atomic bombs is the smallness OF
these islands. It is argued that expert
ments could not be carried out without
danger to some part of the community.
We cannot accept that argument rs
conclusive, inaSmuch as we have never
claimed that this is responsibility Of
the British government alone. We be-
lieve it is an Empire task. Britain may
be small, but the Empire Is vast, and In
it there are many wide open spaces
where these developments can be pur-
sued with the minimum OF risk. Each
Of the dominions can contribute to the
pool Of knowledge. The great thing
now is to get to know. and to use the
knowledge wisely before It y too hts.

Postwar Crime

AS director of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, j. Edgar Hoover IS
in the best possible position to evalu-r
ate the trend of American crime.
Accordingly, when he says-as he
did at the recent meeting of the
International Association of Chiefs
of Police-that we are threatened
with a period as bad as the gangSter
era of the 1920s, every good citizen
has reason to be concerned, and
responsible authorities must feel
duty bound to take whatever action
they can in an effort to stop the
thing before it gets worse than it is.
That the situation is already bad
enough is clear from Mr.. Hoover's
statement that the F'BI's flngerprint
files reveal the existence of an army
of 100000 criminals throughout the
country and that the spearhead OF
this army can be found in an almost
frightening increase in the number
of juvenile delinquents. In his judg-
ment, these delinquents-boys and
girls alike-are the most vicious of
the lot. and they are graduating in
to the ranks of seasoned lawbreak-
erS.
The danger facing the country,
according to Mr.. Hoover, is height
ened by the fact that returning vet
erans have brought home with them
hundreds of thousands of lethal
weapons as souvenirs. It is mis-
take, he says, to imagine that much
of the current crime stems from these
veterans. but their souvenirs" are
finding their way into the hands of
unscrupulous people who resell them
to young thugs and hoodlumS and
older criminals. The stage thus has
been set for real trouble unless there
is an intelligent and well-organized
preventive drive aimed particularly
at juvenile delinquency-a drive ad-
vocated by President Truman in his
message to the police chiefs.
It is historically true. of course,
that one of wars many evil prod
ucts is an increase in crime. War
itself creates moral laxity and tends
to inure the mind to violence and
brutality. Indeed, even England,
which traditionally has been ranked

How to Share Christmas

To the Editor of The Star:
Shall we not feel embarrassed this
Christmas, sitting snugly in our we'll
heated houses, stuffing on goodies, open
ing stacks of gifts? I think so-unless
We lack the imagination to picture the
misery in homes abroad.
Instead of exchanging expensive lux
uries with the other adults in our fam
lilies, let us agree with them to give the
money instead to one of the many or
CARNATIONS that are buying and send
ing food overseas. Numerous addresses
have been published. One of the most
efficient organizations is the American
