the destructive potentalties of the atomic bomb There
 is now general awareness of the bomb super weapon. But the awareness has not extended to implications of the weapon to the control measures which they make imperative Indeed. the public recognition of the potency of the bomb has induced sense of national security which is dangerously false
 Some of the scientists who contributed to the release of atomic energy and to it's utilization of purposes have now joined hands to promote fuller public understanding of the obligations which pos session of atomic bombs impose upon American states manship. Because of a feeling of the heavy sponsbility which physicists have taken upon them selves" with the development of atomic bombs, an Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists has now been formed to raise national atomic energy educa- tion fund Among the major facts about atomic energy which it wants to advance public understanding that there is military defense against the atomic bomb and is to be expected; that other nations redscover secret processes that preparedness ruin the structure of society that there can be solution to this problem international control and the elimination of war.
 Americans need to know that their reliance the atomic bomb as a weapon is almost certainly illusory For the bomb can be employed only against mass centers of civilization; and if, like to believe, we would go to only to preserve civilization should find ourselves faced with the anomaly of eradicating what fighting to man tain The truth about atomic energy is that it is too potent a weapon be serviceable, too ndiscrimnate in its destructive potentialities And war in which it was employed could result only in the extinction of civilization everywhere The choice is yeraby as Bernard Baruch put it, "a choice between the quick and the dead We must elect world peace or world destruction

NAVY DUMPS FOOD

It has just leaked out that last June, whie the butcher shops were nearly empty and housewives were begging fer meat, the Navy buried over 82,000 pounds of meat and fish.
 This sizeable amount of food had been allowed to spoil; so Navy bulldozers were ordered to dig trenches near Camden, Ark, and the food was buried Hog farmers, deg lood manufacturers and circus suppliers, all of whom could have used the food, were given no chance to bid.
 The NaVy's explanation is that the Golden Commissary Corp. of Washington, D. C., under contract to feed 23,o00 men constructing Camp Shumaker at Camden, Ark, was left with large amount of food on hand Comdr c. E. Spell man, in charge of construction, turned over the food to Capt c. E. Lewis, commander of the ammuni- tion depot Part of it was stored for year and part turned back to Ccmdr Spellman Finally, in June l946. the food was inspected by medical authorities and as a result of this buck passing, pronounced
 unfit for human consumption. The

HELPING FRENCH COMMUNISM

However, there is one basic fac tor which the John Foster Dulleses and the Jimmy Warburgs and the State Department forgot after World War I and which they are forgetting all over again today. They ignore the fact that the more you rebuild Germany the more you alienate France.
 Today they are worried sick over the possibility that France may go Communist That worry is iusti- fled But they are not helping the situation by aiding Germany.
 Also they should have begun their worrying back in the days when the State Departments Bob Murphy was lowing and seraping to Vichy- ties while thumbing his nose at General deGaulle. Or they should nave begun worrying back in the aays when Cordell Hull sneered at deGualle's struggling forces as the "so-called Free French"
 Today, the same State Depart ment advisers who made these tragic mistakes are still giving the same backstage advice. And the tragic policy of rebuilding Ger many instead of helping France repeated all over again-will only hasten the day when France is completely Communist.

Man-Made Snow

By flying Greylock Mountain in Massachu- sets and tossing six pounds of dryice pellets scientist of the General Electric Company has produced heavy snowfall from cloud three miles long. This opens up fascinating vistas that should be of particular interest to street cleaners who dread winter and to all the wistfu among who keep dreaming with Bing Crosby year after year of white Christmas.
 The magical character of the experiment has been made clear by Dr Irving Langmur associate director of the General Electric research laboratory and of the most eminent of scientists Forthcoming issues the learned journals will doubtless explain precisely how carbon dioxide dry ce can be used to make a cloud do tricks, but Dr. Langmur has given good nontechnical idea of the wonder simply by saying that single pea size pellet of the stuff dropped 2000 feet through the air could precpitate several tons of snow and that hundreds of millions of tons could be produced a large by plane shooting out a number of the pellets in five-hour flight.
 The practical meaning Of all this, Dr. Langmuir says is that it has now become possible for to do such things as these G) To precipate where may be wanted very much, such at skiing resorts
 2) to eliminate icing conditions and overcast around airpors; (3 to precipitation where the moisture be stored up in the soil for Springtme irrigation, and (4l to lombard approaching clouds before they reach cities, thus aevating the snow- removal problem and the awful winter slush Scientists, in other words, have at last caught weather by the tail and succeeded in doing something about it. They do not have the thing completely under control, of course, but at least they do more than just talk about it.
 From atom to man-made snow this is truly an age of maryels multiplying at dizzying pace. What next? Is it perhaps too much to hope that science will yet invent something precipate the clouds in our brains and drench all of in light, new universal understanding giving wisdom to match knowledge? How good for the world if we had something like thati

EiSTORY REPEATS

Afse~ Woiid War I, American Banke poured millions into Ger many-millions entrusted to their care by small American investors. It was this money that Germany Hsed to pay French reparations, and m addition to build swimming pools, construct new highways and mCdernize cities It was Wall Street adviser John Foster Dulles who urged that this money be invested ;n Germany and kept reassuring the American public that Germany was sound risk.
 In the end the bankers were able to salvage part cf their short-term which would have been their own direct loss. But the ing term loans, held by the Ameri- can investing public and on which the bankers merely collected a commission, today are still in Ger many in the form of smashed cities, gutted factories and the gen. eral rubble of war
 There is no question but that U. S. money, invested by gullible public and greedy bankers not only rebuilt Germany but helped finance her machinery for war
 Today the State and War De- paltments have quietly prepared a new plan for rebuilding Germany once again highly recommended by JChn Tester Dulles, but with two variations:
 ] Likeable White House jokester George Allen will front lOr the present German deal instead of the slightly malodorous bankers.
