-------
We have not heard lately about the
fabulous sea serpent that, over a period
of many years, was "seen" every now and
then in various parts of the world. But let
somebody say today he saw" the serpent,
and tomorrow reports Will come from
coast to coast that he had been sighted in
a score of places.
That condition of seeing" is caused
by psychic contagion, which now has the
country in the throes of seeing flying
saucers" We should have seen them
in Key West by this time, for a flight of
saucers was "seen' by a Miaman, who
said they were headed in southerly di-
rection, and Key West lies southwest of
Miami Probably the saucers veered to the
southeast, so that they were not visible in
Key West
From coast to coast, it was reported
Monday, Americans declared they saw"
flying saucers or discs, but not one of the
reports said anything about finding a sau-
Ger on the ground. Judging by the absence
of such report, the saueers must fly in
terminably.
However, the United States Army has
begun an investigation to determine
whether the flying saucer is scientific
experiment or purely hallucination of per-
sons who maintained they had seen discs
Swimming through the atmosphere. One
Army spokesman, after speaking about
mass Authorizations, added, "but we are
not dismissing the possibility that it's all
hoax"
Psychic contagion among Americans
is not confined to seeing" things, but
to repeating them, too, when thing
catches on" The country has now pref
ty we'll come out of that absurdity that
recently inundated it-"Open the door,
Richard" And it won't be long before
flying saucers will cease to fly. and some
thing else will catch the public fancy.

AND PERHAPS DESTROY THE WORLD

Atomic bombs, used against Japan, are
"obsolete," declares Chancellor Robert M.
Hutchins, of Chicago University, who
adds that the United States now has
stockpile of new and improved bombs
big enough to wipe out all the worlds
largest cities
The educator assumes that eve have,
at the most, three years to forestall in
initiation" Consequently, he adds, 1--WE
can attack right away and perhaps destroy
the rest of the world, provided the rest of
the worm does not have the bomb
This is what you might call an alarm.
1t is, no doubt, part of the effort of the
educator to beat up support for some form
of international government. He is presi-
dent of the Committee to Frame World
Constitution"
The warning cannot be entirely disre-
garded, however, because Mr.. Hutchins is
not firebrand artist. He thinks seriously
and substantially. He tells the people of
this country, very frankly that "if we wish
to be saved, we shall have to practice JUS
tice and love, however humiliating it may
be to do so.'' He warns that "our Chris
ton civilization will have to Christanize
itself in hurry" that "the universal
brotherhood which alone will save us
must be sought under law"
Mr.. Hutchins wants to set up a world
government, with power to levy taxes and
take over existing national armies. Every
thing would be settled by the "constitu-
tion," which he and his associates are at
tempting to frame. He concludes, appar-
emily, that such a world government I'M
der liberal constitution, will make every
thing apple pie and peaceful.
We have some doubts in our own mind
The most proctical attempt to get the ma
lions into an organization, capable of
maintaining peace, it seems to us, is that
proposed many years ago by Clarence
STREET. His plan was to unite the nations
| which recognize and respect certain basic
| rights of man into one government, so far
as international affairs are concerned.
Briefly, the STREET. plan would duplicate
| the formation of the American govern
ment. with Great Britain. France, the
| British Commemorative, the Scandinavian
countries and the United States being the
colonies uniting. In this area there is
generally appreciation of the rights Of man
| and the basic freedoms of life are respect
ed. Moreover, such combination would
be strong enough to face any possible ag-
gressor or dictator

MORE GENEROUS AND FoRGIvINc

There ~ considerable truth in the OBJ
servation of Secretary of State Marshall
that the people of the United States are a
little bit more generous and forgiving than
most people. He was speaking about his
propose! to turn over thirty-one American
merchant ships to Italy.
Asked by member of the Senate
whether this is not an unusual procedure
toward n former enemy country, the Sec
rotary of State declared that ii certainly
was. He explained that the United States
wants To see Italy rehabilitated and that
the ships involved were surplus Liberty
ships designed to replace Italian ships lost
while under American control.
General Marshall is undoubtedly cor
rect in concluding that the people of this
country are more generous and forgiving
than most people The record of our war
fare reveals that. when the struggle is ter
minated. the United States seeks much less
for itself than the usual victor.
II should not be overlooked that the
wealth of the United States alone makes
II possible for our government to overlook
reparations in connection with warfare. AS
u general rule, when two nations go to
war. the victor attempts to make the loser
pay a considerable part of what has been
lost. The reason why this rule has not been
applied in recent wars is that the extent
Of losses, on the part of victors, has been
so enormous that payment of the full sum
in PREPARATIONS has been impossible.
