STAINS GAINS
II should be remembered that
Stain has gained large territories
and great strategic advantages In
This war, not only in Europe but
in Asia, including half Of Sakhalin
Island and Port Arthur as a Pa
cifc naval base.
Moreover, Germany is being
stripped to the skin with go per
cent of the proceeds going TO So
Wet Russia.
II is a bold prophecy that the
giving away of 42,0O0,000,000
American dollars will avert for
eign trade rivalry. II might give
our competitors the means of in
tensifying trade rivalry.
That. only the future can re-
veal.
/. Already, America is being ac-
cused in sections of the press of
our Allies with economic imper-
ialism and grabbing foreig n
markets"
Thomas jefferson agreed with
Alexander Hamilton that COM
merce is the potential cause Of
war"
Hamilton 100 years ago warned
against views then held that COM
merce was essentially peaceful as
being contrary to the dictates of
common sense and the known
facts OF history"
In the wake of World War ii
we are entering a period of rival
ries and competition of world
commerce and markets from
which even $42,000,000,000 as a
gift is not likely TO ban the dan
gers that trade jealousies, envies
and antagonisms bring.

Although radioaetlvity is con-

ANIAZES SPANIARD
In a little village tavern on
my tour of Spain last week, a
Spaniard remarked TO me-
america Is wonderful, 1t
must be GolcOnda."
II is true the Holy Writ says
1T is more blessed TO give than
TO receive" but the vast majority
of people find greater blessings in
being on the receiving line.
While the American people and
Congress are turning over in their
minds the munificent war bonus"
to our Allies, il is not aniss to call
attention 10 the following:
Soviet Russia is a vast totali-
tartan communist empire, almost
three times as large as the United
States. with sc, 600, 900 more peo-
pie. and natural resources as
great as ours if not surprising
them.
NOT GIVEN TO PEOPLE
Stains communist government
owns everything, the people moth
ing Whatsoever.
Such a gift to Soviet Russia
Il a gift to a tOtalitarian COM
munist government. not to the
Russian people.
We supposedly fought TO de-
Stroy att forms of totalitarionism
and relationships.
With 13.707,000 square miles
and 7,0S0,l57 people. the Brit
ish Empire, now largely social
istic, is more than four times
larger and has almost four and
one-half times the population of
our country.
The natural resources of the
British Empire are indeed great.
Spread over so 10 100 years at
nominal or no interest, why should
not these empires, with their far
greater area and population than
ours, pays their debts as we ex-
pect TO work to pay ours?

Gen. Groves. director of the
Manhattan engineer district (the
secret bomb project) and other
officials have been perturbed by
efforts of japanese propagandists
to paint a horrible picture In
American minds OF the indefinite
continuation of harmful X-ray
reaction at Hiroshima.
They fear that the japanese
are making an effort TO sell the
idea among Americans that the
United States, by using the atomic
bomb, won the war unfairly.
Hence, our flying visit To the
New Mexico bomb crater and our
voluntary exposure TO the x-ray

nal explosion and from radiant
heat and subsequent fires.
