A Thought For Today
Good Intentions, Bad Results

Col Juan Peron may not offer Secretary of State Byrnes
 the job of Postmaster General that the presidential cleo ton in Argentina has been practically conceded to him. nd does anybody want to bet he dasn But he has good to thank State Department for It's ethanded ana unintentional campaign help.
 The State Department White Paper which blasted the tie between the Nazs and Argennas government of col ones to have had the unhappy effect of uniting the Argentine nation by insulting it. Much the same thing ap parenty has happened in Spain since the threeoWer invita- ton to the Spanish people to get rid of Generasmo Franco
 Ardent natlonalism has place in todays inerdepend ent world but remains alive The emotions of patriotism and chauvnism stubborn and hard to down. Because of them the most thoroughgong scoundre of dictator become practically favorte native son when he is attacked from without.
 Americas indictment of Peron and the three-power n- dictment of Franco were justified These men are admirers
 despicable way of life which still fourshes Their con- tnued presence power aronts not only their people, but all the people of what we hope will become more decent world
 Yet when these obvious facts are stated buny they serve to move many anotatarans to rally round the dc tators standard with shouts of outsde interference n Spain) and "Yankee imperialism Gin Argentina).
 Some of the shouts may cloak feeling of shame that such Relationships have been allowed to continue and that outsiders have felt called to protest But others are undoubtedly sincere.
 The trouble is that good intentions doubted abroad Justfabe attempts at moral suason called in- teerence We try help two peoples regain the freedoms for which the fought and suspected of want ing to dominate Argentina and to get finger the Span sh pie National pride been aroused in both countries with the result that appear to have lost prestige and to have strengthened the dictators.
 So now what do we do? Apparently nothing-unless we wish embarrass friendly neghbor, Britain For
 hungry Britain needs food from the Argentine and fruits from Spain. war-weary British industry needs Spains superior warweakened British economy doesn't want to lose the multbondoar British investments in Argen tina Economic sanctions logically the next step against the arrogant dcators would put the United Kingdom in worse plight than it's present
 Thus there is strong backing for strong words We have stuck our neck out in two countries The situation offers the old choice of put up shut But America hasn't done either We have been right in principle and inept in practice the result that we may look little foolish in the whole matter

CANCER RESEARCH
(Hartford Courant)

(Hartford Courant)
 A new sugar derived from bac- terial tissue Is now being regarded with interest by scientists engaged in cancer research, according to a report recently made to the Amer ican Cancer Society. This sugar has already demonstrated a marked effect on cancer and further re- search into It's properties is to be conducted in the hope that 1t may furnish another bit in the scien- tific mosaic laboriously being fitted together by thousands of men work ing in laboratories in all civilized countries. The discovery of this new sugars effect on cancer came about as the result of "belt-line" experi- mentation with various chemical compounds, This is a methodical process by which one compound after another is tested on a purely speculative basis. This new bacter- tal sugar Is only one of 150 com- pounds thus far tested that seem to have useful properties.
 DSAb-AA4AS SAPSk kAAAlGAAtabAOtl 1ldo pe~ fore this paid great dividends. The discovery of dilaLGin as one of the most effective drugs for controlling epilepsy is only one of many exam ples of how the systematic use of various known chemicals has brought unusually good results. An even more spectacular achievement was the conquest of the dread Spiro- chaeta pallida by the Jewish bacter- iologist, Paul Ehrlich, after 605 pre- vious experiments had failed.
 There have been SO many false alarms in the field of cancer re- search that 1t would be needlessly cruel to hold out this new bit of research as anything more than a tiny fragment of knowledge that may be useful in forming the whole. It is far more important for every one to realize that even now, despite the great gaps in our knowledge of cancers cause and cure, 1t is pos sible to achieve high incidence of full recovery if medical aid is sought early. One of the major aims of pulp lie health education is the estab- lishment of this fact in every mind.

Are Wena Nightmare? By Thomas {. Stokes

other nation who are not mad at anybody either Certainly they are not mad at him as an individual
 What will we be fighting over?
 Iran? oil? The sands of Arabia? or perhaps an idea-which also like over here-that the average citizen is due share in the good things of life Some people of great influence still don't like this
 Are our propagandists on both sides ready to spill over in crusade about any of that?
 Where shall we fight?
 Shall we rake over the ruins of Europe and see II they can be pulverized still more? Shall we de- prive the desolate there of their novels and drive them somewhere else, nonads a second time in the waste places?
 But there are, of course, splendid targets left New York, Chicago Philadelphia, Washington, De- troit, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Los Angeles and SO on and, the other side of the world the cities They would crumple mighty quick under atomic bomb, or their people would die like flies from the germs of the biological warfare yet unused
 All about us is the noisome atmosphere of spy plots, until man doesn't dare trust his neighbor. There was the Russian spy plot in Canada. Undoubt- spies. too. They are smarter-we should be proud of tnat-and haven't got caught. Hurrah for sdel
 There is the desperate little group of men, the scientists, who made the atomic bomb. Nobody will listen to them. They want to keep science free so that atomic energy can be developed for the benefit
 But they are put to work in individual cells like prisoners They can't talk to each other. Their phones tapped. The lie detector is used them. They want civilian control of atomic energy, but they fight in vain against the army oligarchy, which wants to keep It's hands on 1t so that it can scare the rest of the world to death.
 Are we headed back to the Dark Ages?
 There is ahead of us the way of light, but the individual man must rise up in his might and do something about 1t.

through tickets and all through freight service would be ended, ex- cept such aS originated in the State of Massachusetts as intrastate busi- ness. The lines said that their reason for this ruling was the high cost of meeting accounting requlr- bents of'I. c. C.-which Q steam ship lines official estimated would be $50,000 to $60,000 year.
 "The Gazette" expresses eloquent alarm as possible situation in which the very names of Martha s Vineyard, Nantucket and the island towns may be stricken from tariffs, rate books, schedules and guides all over the United States, so far as the I, c, c. is concerned. T. inexperienced seekers of the islands, the newspaper declares, they will seem almost inaccessible because of the changes made necessary to reach them in person, baggage and freight.
 We hasten to sympathize with The Gazette" in it's valiant op- position to having It's delightful, ocean-girdled homeland made more difficult to reach, or even dis covers this summer. But we choose to think optimistically that no such conditions of hindrance will have place. For, as "The Gazette" in- domitably declares: 'Martha's Vine yard and Nantucket remain within the United States and they haven't been licked yet" The Massachusetts Steamship Lines, Inc, we believe, have not learned their islands yet.

More Words on Unification

Rep. Carl Vnson, chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee and of the Navys best friends in Congress- has article in the magazine Ships which attacks the pro posed and Presdent-suppored uncation of the armed forces along accustomed Navy lines Weaken" and sub ordinate the rather painve substitutes for the verb "unify" which he most frequently employs
 The purpose of unifcaton of command, it, IS equaze and coordinate rather than to subordinate branch of the service is difficult to why how any branch would be weakened in the long by closer ason with the others in the interest of national defense And it significant that there have been few if any, pains of subordnaon from the Army the Air Forces though apparently the system would work the for a
 The offered thorough test of unified action And aso in President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill it provided example of civilian control all armed forces free of detrmen discrimination So there little point in the talk of examining the system further.
 But Mr. Vnson does have we-taken point in his geston that business labor and farm leaders diplomats, medical and other group representatives express their opinion the subject So far it has been largely the ices show But the proposal is the whole countrys cern, and the country should be heard from.

the scientists during the war; At one time Dr. szl- ard said, he came into his office and found that the bookcases had been turned around to face the wall He asked the Army officer in charge why they had been moved and got this reply:
 'There was Q vial of uranium in your bookcase and orders are that nothing shall be revealed or sy posed. So we turned the bookcases to the walI'
 pr. Szilard explained that many scientists were so apprehensive of the new Army control and the dentally revealing something, that they wanted to get out of atomic science altogether.
 "That would be tragic mistake" advised Sem ator o'Mahoney "You must not do that, Atomic ex- perimentation must continue"
 Dr.. Szlard told about some of the amazing new fields which the atom had opened up especially in medicine For instance 1t is now possible to put an atom in carbon feed 1t into the human body, and follow 1t through the body. Thus, for the first time in history, the exact flow of matter through the body can be traced.
 "1ut" remarked the noted scientist, according to the bill just adopted by the Senate Committee, all experiences with the Army such experiments will be very difficult in the future"
 Representatives Earl Kitchener of Michigan and Everett Diksen of Illinois, both Republicans, are usually mild-mannered men. Both have served on the Joint Committee for the Reorganization of Congress which proposed the plan of pensions for Congressmen This is a ticklish question and tempers were high during the vote which finally defeated 1t.
 When the House vote came up, Michigans Mich ener voted in favor of the pension plan. Beside him. he heard Illinois able Drksen vote "FreSent," which means neither aye nor nay.
 Everett" whispered Kitchener, "you haven't got any guts"
 Dirksen saw red. Calling Kitchener an unpublisha- be name he replied
 "Why, I've at least got the gutS to vote the way see things instead of ducking back and forth and bobbng up only when it's safe to make my position known, You always know where stand on an issue just as soon as debut it's an awful tough job to figure out your position"
 fiohti Dirksen of insulting him and insisted that Drksen liked to duck issues Several other members tired to calm them Finally Dirksen, in a voice loud enough said:
 All right, Earl, there's no sense in fighting in here. You come on outside with me to settle this,

VICTORY GARDENS AS FAMINE
 AID
(New Haven Journal COurier)

(New Haven Journal COurier)
 Chester c. Davis, organizing chairman of the Famine Emergency Committee, urges the planting of Victory Gardens in l946 to increase the food supply.
 Tn releasing more wheat, fat, oils, and other critically needed foods for shipment to starving people abroad, we recognize the essential part that the Victory Garden production will play in helping provide food for the people of America" MT. Davis says. An abundance of nutritious home grown food will permit much greater shipment of the food items so crit ically needed abroad.
 'The President and the Secretary of Agriculture have called for full effort again this year by the Victory Gardeners of the nation. This Fa- mine Emergency Committee con- siders the Victory Garden produc- tion as one of the important parts of this entire emergency food pro- gram. This is a definite and positive way in which large percentage of our citizens can help in relieveing the suffering of the starving people of the world"

For none of these people walking along the streets or at their desks, wants to fight anybody or threaten anybody-and this goes for the plain people of the whole world. But they have nothing to do with it.
 It all goes on above their heads, a war of words started by ex-Prime minister who has been de- feated by people who want only to forget war and try to get back to normal living; a dictator whose people have nothing to say about their govern ment or what 1t does and who also would like to get back to building up the wreckage and living normally again; Congressmen and Secretaries of State and Foreign Secretaries
 Robert Burns once wrote "a mans a man for a. that" and when we were growing up we learned in English literature classes that this was one of the landmarks in the so-caed romantic classes that this was one of the landmarks in the so-called ro- mantle movement that celebrated new independence of the individual man.
 But the individual today still seems to have no dignity of his own, no existence of his own no part in the one great decision of life that is whether he will pick up gun and march out, with bands playing and the politicians cheering to kill people in some
