The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1946-01-25
THE OLD SO AND
SO SAYS:

What do men of science, men in
professional life, men who hope for
peace, men of good will regardless
of political ties, think about the ne
cessity of making UNO work? What
do they think will happen if we do
not? What will happen if we do not?
Let's start with E. G. Toomey, law
year of Helena, an able man and a
conscientious man whether one al
ways agrees with his political opin-
ions or not In a recent address he
said Substantially There are no
longer any frontiers. There is not
square mile of earth or water where
one can go and say he is safe; that
may not become a battle-ground. The
time has come when we must cease
thinking of the other peoples of the
earth as Englishmen, as Frenchmen,
as Russians and see them as men,
crowned with the dignity of manhood
which comes only from the recogni-
ton of the fathedhood of God. Men
like ourselves. Disaster came to Ger
many because the individual German
tried to escape from responsibility.
Some one higher up was always re-
sponsible-not he. We cannot do this.
We cannot leave the task of organic
ing the world for peace to others-to
the higher ups. We must start in our
homes, in our hearts, in our own con-
sciences. We must work for peace or
face destruction"
Norman ]. Hotter, a Helena boy,
now one of the prominent physicists
of the country, worked on the atomic
bomb project with DR.. Harold c. Urey
and others, and contributed much to
the success of the undertaking. Talk
ing with close friends in Helena re-
Gently he told them that if the best
construction men in the United States
could be furnished with the money
and given the task of building city
which would cover 25 miles square
of the most solid ground, enduring
and substantial steel and concrete con-
struction known, and cube not much
larger than a tennis ball we're to be
dropped over the center of it, cube
made of the latest type of atomic
bomb, and exploded" it would be
for any one to find the
slightest trace of that city, at any
time, anywhere, on this earth.
Harold C. Urey, a Montana Univer-
sity graduate and now famous the
world over as a physicist and chemist,
has declared that the top men in the
f,Irs In toI
for fear the Germans would beat them
to the secret of the atomic bomb. as
they knew this country was lost If
they did. He has again and again
pointed out that the secret of this
bomb cannot be kept and that the
only hope of the world is to make
UNO work, to organize this world for
peace in some manner.
What does Burton X. Wheeler, Unit
I'd States senator from Montana, say?
What has he said in talks over the
tate in starting his campaign for re-
election? Compare, the old So and
so begs you, dear reader, his attitude
With that of the men whose words you
lave Just read: Juno is dead The
British want to start war on Russia,
provided we furnish the men, the mon
sy and the weapons. Hitler meant us
40 harm. What have we done? Trad
ed Hitler for Stain" And so on. Do
ng and saying everything in his power
10 create discord, stir up strife, i'll
feeling, distrust, instilling thoughts
If hatred, laying the foundations for
mother war
HE that hateth dissembleth with
lis lips, and layeth up deceit within
i'm;
"As Goals are to burning Goals, and
1ood to fire; so is contentious man
0 kindle strife.
"A lying tongue hateth those that
re afflicted by it." (Proverbs).
