pomb on Japanese cities and ornaments
ana since the close of hostilities in the
second World War, it has been urged
that the failure of the United States
Britain and Canada to share the secret
OF the atomic bomb with other nations
particularly Russia, was the great
stumbling block in the way of peace.
1t has been urged that other nations
particularly Soviet Russia, must of
necessity look askance at proposals of
peace, centered in the United Nations.
since this country would always be in
a position to enforce its demands
along with Britain-by the use of atomic
bombs. The offer made by Secretary of
State Byrnes to enter into a long term
treaty with Britain and Russia to en-
force upon the Axis powers a complete
limitation OF ornaments, and to pro-
mote peace, was declared entirely I'M
acceptable to the Soviet government.
The only possible explanation of the
recalcitrance of Russia in this particular
proposal for peace, and in its general
attitude as member of the United Ma
tons Security Council, is that the
Soviet government is bent on develop
ment. in time, through scientific re-
search, OF an atomic bomb of its own
or weapons of equal or greater destruc-
tive power; that whatever may be its
attitude toward war under existing con-
ditions. Russia intends to be strong
enough In the future to dominate the
world. Coupled with this is the UNI
deniable fact that the leaders of Soviet
Russia have not abandoned the idea of
world revolution. with Communism of
the Russian variety in complete control,
Here is test. 1t is proposed not only
that an international agency shall have
control OF the development of atomic
energy. but that this agency shall at all
times be in position to 60 into any
nation to determine what use is being
made of atomic energy and whether
weapons Of war are being constructed.
No veto is permitted. The Soviet GOV
eminent has said much in favor of in
ternational peace-but it has never vet
lifted the curtain which hides its own
aims. Its attitude toward this Ameri-
can proposal must be revealing.
American leadership cannot afford to
carry through its plan to internation-
alize the secrets of atomic energy and
the bomb without the most drastic safe
guards. The world will heave a great
sigh of relief If these can be erected.

United States to weaken its position BY

Strip Mininq

Prom the Indianapolis News
Discussing The Battle of the Spoil
Banks in the May Harper's Magazine,
Alfred H. Sinks attempts to give both
sides OF the strip-mine picture the
desolatlon that can follow such coal
operations, and the newer technique Of
attempting to restore the spoil banks
by reforeStation and other conservation
measures. He cites the general charges
that strip mining makes the land unfit
for farming, destroys natural cover,
lowers the water table, often pollutes
streams and leaves unsightly piles of
waste coal when the work is finished
Looking at the other side, Mr.. Sinks
doubts whether the land destroyed
was worth much. He says: "On SUBJ
marginal land-these figures are from
Indiana where the coal seam Is not
particularly rich - it would take 500
years to grow enough corn on an acre to
pay for the coal under it. On fair grade
OF farm land it would take $50" The
author admits that some of the opera
= tors have been members of the strip
and skip fraternity. But he cites others
who have done much to heal the wounds
made by the bulldozers and enormous
shovels. Instead of holes filled with q
weak solution of sulfuric acid. he has
seen a number of newly formed lakes
in Indiana and Illinois which teemed
with fish and whose banks were covered
with flourishing vegetation. 1 found

Far-sighted coal operators who rec
ognize their responsibility accomplished
some of these changes voluntarily. But
the State of Indiana must be credited
with strong assist. In 194l the Gen.
eral Assembly approved an act that
places strip mining under the depart
ment of conservation and requires q
permit before an operation can be
started. This law compels the planting
OF trees on spoil banks and that Is one
reason why vegetation is replacing what

This Changing World
By Constantine Br0.vn

Within a few weeks after Gen. Draja
Mihailovich was captured, reliable re-
ports reached Washington to the effect
that his trial eventually would turn into
a denunciation Of the United States and
Great Britain as 'collaborators and in
stigators of the suppression OF Titos
Partisan forces" This, the report said,
was essential to bolster Marshal Tito
in the struggle for possession Of Trieste
and Venezia Giulia, which the Amer
lean and British Foreign Ministers have
opposed and are likely to oppose again.
In the Mihailovich case the theme is
to show America and Britain as the
arch enemies Of the Partisans headed
by Marshal Tito. None of the facts
which brought about the downfall of
the Chetnik chieftain, naturally, is being
brought up.
The historical fact is that Prime MINI
lister Churchill adopted a policy of ex-
pediency and withdrew not only Brit
aims support from Gen. Mihailovich
but also used all his influence to induce
the reluctant American government to
follow suit.
Had it not been for President Roose-
velt's skillful diplomatic maneuvers in
the spring of l941 it is doubtful wheth-
er the coup d'etat which threw out
Prince-Regent Paul and his pro-Nazi
government would ever have occurred.
The British were hard pressed at that
time in North Africa and it was essen
tial that the German Yugoslav agree
ment, which would have given the Nazis
completely free hand in the Balkans,
be upset.
y X
A coup d'etat took place after Mr..
Roosevelt promised the Yugoslavs that
they would be supported with war ma
terial just like other nations which
were lighting totalitarianism. More
over, in private discussions the Yugo-
slavs, who had no illusions about their
ability to resist the Nazis, were promised
that after the Allied victory America
would use her influence to see that
their sovereignty, independence and
democratic freedom were re-established.

NEW YORK-The United States has

ident of the United States Since the
know-how of producing atomic bombs
SO lar as is known, rests with this
country. Britain and Canada, and the
facilities for such production still re-
main with the United States, the offer
can only be construed as an honest
effort to prevent a third, and the most
devastating, world war.
1t was after the First World War that
this country made another magnificent
gesture for peace. The then Secretary

great maritime nations of the world.

her promise not to build a great navy
but did not build up to treaty strength
in the years that followed. Britain did
keep her navy up. and Japan went

produce real limitations of naval

Something More Is Needed

The Presidents Endorsement of
the Overton plan for measuring
the annual Federal payment to
District appropriations - the plan
having been perfected in its legis-
lative details and introduced as a
new bill by Senator O'Mahoney-is
gratifying. But something more
than mere Endorsement is necessary
to prevent the financial muddle now
facing the District.
The bill could be got through Con-
gress before the session ends. But
1t is yet to be considered by the
re District Committe and has
nOo eVen been introduced in the
House. The chances, in other words,
are remote.
In the meantime, the only oppor-
tunity for an increase in the Federal
payment this year will come from
Senate approval of a committee
amendment to increase it by four
million dollars. Unless that amend
ment is approved and wins such
approval in conference with the
House, the District will be "broke"
at the end of the next fiscal year.
The situation is serious enough to
call for positive administration

Congress, in temporarily increasing
the Federal payment this year and

welt asked Ambassador Fotich to pre-

After Tito took command of the Par

Mr.. Churchill decided to support the

And climbed crooked stair

Shook out their purple hair.

As jewels on chain,
And honeysuckle trumpets filled

In green and rusty words

And seraph hummingbirds.

Has green ledpes at his eyes
That he may close, and slip into
