In short, science is just plain

So what does the owner of the
mighty atomic brain do? He goes
into the bathroom and looks for
his razor. 1t isn't there. 1t is in

The men who played the chief
part III Operations Crossroads, the
men who changed the course of
history, have to endure all the
agony that their fathers did before
them. They have to try to spread
the brushless soap on just right
or work the lather to the correct
consistency. They have to fret about
turning under a whisker, or pulling
one out. They have to fume and
fuss about the blades. They nick
their chins, slice their joWls, and
worry their mighty cerebellums
about removing those stubborn
whiskers that choose to reside high
on the upper lip.
What a Waste of Time!
In the time it takes them to shave
they could almost split plutonium
or up-end a battleship, or perfect
mess of radioactivity that would
chase a whole city of men, women

a waste of time!

trip with Senator Butler, inciden-
tally, say his report on China great
ly exaggerates the conditions they
encountered
But
When Gen George C. Marshall,
special presidential emiSsary, and
DR.. John Leighton Stuart, new
American Ambassador to China. is
sue a public statement to the effect
that the prospect for peace in China
is virtually hopeless. you have to
believe they are speaking the truth.
The Question Raised.
Most Americans are little &C
1uainted with the new Ambassa-
dor, knowing only that he has spent
much of his life in educational
work in China. But they do know
Gen. Marshall. They know him as
man of extraordinary competence
and one not given to eXaggeration
When he confeSSeS that his mis-
sion in China, his effort to bring
about leign of law and order has
thus far proved to be failure, it
Is obvious that he would not be
saying this if it were not wholly
true. 1t is not a pleasant thing to
have to say.
Which raises the question of
whether or not the United States
Government is attempting some
thing in China that is not within
our province to attempt. We went
TO China's aid in her war against
Japan because that was also our
war We have now ousted all the
japanese invaders. We have sought
to give the distressed people of that
ravaged land the same sort of re-
lief from hunger and the same sort
of aid to rehabilitation that we are
giving other victims of aggressor ma
tions. But the warning factions in
China refuse to cooperate. Is there
anything left to do save to allow
them. with friendly prayer, to stew
in their own juice?
The American people never will be
able to determine which of the fac
tions is to blame. Gen. Marshall
may have come to a clear decision
on this point, but under the condi-
tions with which he is confronted he
is unable to announce his decision
at least he cannot do so while still
endeavoring to reconcile the fac
tions.
Common Sense Dictates.
He may have found the so-called
Communists-actually the parti-
sans Of a widespread agrarian re-
form movement and not Commu-
nists of the Russian Soviet variety.
if we can believe many writers on
the subject-guilty of obstructing
q sincere effort on the part of the
Chang government to give the
country an honest democratic re-
gime. He may have found, on the
other hand, that the Chang gov
ernment has no better purpose than
to perpetuate its own power and
privileges at the expense, as always
