it could well be, hungry"
This akened, war-scar-
red country, which never has been
able to feed itself entirely and
never ate we'll, somehow will have
to import approximately $500, 600,
900 worth Of food in 1946-47, ac-
cording to recent estimates.
Where the food or money will
come from is anybody's guess,
since the figure represents the diff
ference between Italy's needs and
her domestic production a n d
UNRRA imports already arranged.
Besides, UNRRA win officially
shut up shop Dec. 81, although it
will continue delivery of goods al
ready purchased well into the sec
ond quarter of 1857.
In wheat alone Italy will, need
to import 1900, 900 metric tons.
And wheat is the basis of half the
diet of the Italians, loving, as they
do, their pasta" spaghetti, maca-
-oni and other grain products.
The 1916 crops were far above
last years but there was then, and
still is, tremendous room for inn
provement. In the first year after
the var ended they we're disastrous
ly short.
1taly's own produce and imports
in 1945 gave the non-food-produc-
ing Italian, who makes up four
fifths Of the population, an aver
age of 1929 calories a day. This
compares with the $500 calories
of the prewar Italian, the 2, 300

the Belgian, the 1884 of the Engl-

The $500 calories received by
the prewar Italian was the average

building up Italian farm products.

More About Atomic Control

More About Atomic Control
Philip Noel-Baker, Britain's Air
Minister, leader of the London delega-
ton to the United Nations General AS
sembly recently addressed the Assem-
bly, on atomic control and laid down this
proposition:
1T has now become clear that there
is. no possibility of making atomic
energy available to the world for peace
full purposes, with all the benefits that
mankind could derive from it, with
out at the same time making atomic
weapons equally available to any ma
ton wishing to possess or use them.
The raw materials, industrial processes
and the fissle products of these pro-
cesses are identical, whether they are
required for peaceful industrial pur-
poses or for weapons of war"
There are but two alternatives to a
race in atomic armament, he declared.
One is that the nations must "be pre-
pared to forbid not only the manufac-
ture of bombs but also the manufac-
ture of fissile material" The other
alternative is "for the nations to agree
to some system of international con-
troll, which would be possible only if
all countries were willing to open their
frontiers and permit freedom of &C
cess to the extent necessary to enable
control to function"
In the first proposal, he noted, "the
great economic benefits which might
flow from atomic energy would have to
be sacrificed" In the second, there
would have to be complete international
control of atomic energy for all pur-
poses, with safeguards at every stage"
1t was his opinion that a draft con-
vention should be called by the Atomic
Energy Commission with the obvious
purpose of framing a world control
program which would eliminate the
atomic bomb from possible future wars.
In some quarters there have been
references to the elimination Of poison
gas as an offensive weapon, with the
idea that atomic bombs might be SINH
larly eliminated. The comparison is
apt in one way, but wrong in another.
1t is true that poison gas was not en-
ployed in World Var II, but the reason
was that both Germany and Japan
knew full we'll the United States had
carried out a program not only to COM
bat but to Guido both if either resorted
to chemical warfare. Literally, it vas
fear of consequences that restrained
Hitler and TOTO, more than agreement
in advance that turned the trick.
With nations as we'll prepared for
atomic warfare as the United States
was for chemical warfare in the late
unpleasantness, there would be danger
that n or another might launch an
atomic attack at any time, with what
results the world can only surmise.
The Star has thought that security
from future atomic attack lay in an
ample supply of atomic bombs ready
for use in emergency. 1t is not now so
sure that this is the correct solution
OF the problem. The wiser solution
would be adequate control of atomic
energy for peacetime use only, with
enforceable restraints on all govern
ments against the manufacture Of
bombs.

Scruggs forthwith started a move
ment to have it presented under
sponsorship of the Franklin Institute.

prove to be, but adds additioal proof
that Franklin was a many-sided man.
