Eur0pe's Partition Nearer

Russia, having boycotted the Mar
shall proposal, Great Britain and
France, through their foreign ministers,
have invited twenty-five European gov
ernments to send representatives to
Paris on July IL to consider with them
ways and means for promoting recov-
cry.
Among the twenty-five nine are
under Russian domination or subject
to communist dictation. They are AL
bania, Austria, Bulgaria, Czechoslova-
kia, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Romania
and Yugoslavia. Several of them, no.
tably Finland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary
and Poland, are particularly anxious to
benefit by the Marshall plan, but are
no longer free agents. The Moscow
government is their master. They could
not ONE in with Britain and France or
any other European States without
throwing off the Russian yoke, which
they are too weak to do.
Obviously the Forthcoming confer
ence will be incapable of producing a
program in which the twenty-five can
participate. The only result, therefore,
will be to carry the partition of Europe
a step nearer.

A Little Late

John Paul Jones is to have a medal
at last. The presentation is to be made
tomorrow by Admiral King at Fred
~ericksburg, where Jones' brother lived,
and Rear Admiral Holloway, Jr., SUPER
intendent of the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, will accept it.. Then the
medal will be placed in Americas first
naval hero's tomb at Annapolis.
The bestowal is only 155 years late.
1t appears that Congress voted a
medal for Jones in 1887, but the Navy
Department is unable to find any rec
ord that it was. ever struck off, al
though the dies were cast. So now,
on the two-hundredth anniversary Of
Jones' birth the oversight is to be
corrected.
The United States was not indif-
ferent to the mar who brought glory
to his adopted country on the high seas
at a time when the nations very exist
ence as an independent state was in
doubt. But even his burial place was lost
sight Of for more than a century. It
was only through a systematic search
instituted by General Porter, at the
time (1905) our Ambassador to France,
that his grave was discovered, and not
until 1913 were his remains brought
home from Paris to be deposited in a
tomb in the naval chapel at Annapolis
Jones, dying at forty-five Tin 1922
from over exposure and exertion, was
buried in the St. Louis cemetery for
protestant foreigners in the French
capital. During the troubled years that
followed the grave, even the cemetery
was forgotten. But for the perseverance
and determination of Ambassador
Porter, it is probable that the grave
would never have been located.
And now, but for the Nays ad-
mirable spirit, the tribute Congress
meant to pay the great fighter but for
got to carry out might never have been
completed.
It is all the more incomprehensible
because, as Thackary wrote of Wash
ington and might have written of Jones:
Through all the doubt and darkness,
the danger and long tempest of the
war, l think it was only the American
leaders indomitable soul that remain
ed entirely steady"

May-G Carson Case

1t is conceivable that the conviction
of former Representative Andrew J.
May of Kentucky and the Carson
brothers might be reversed on appeal
and retrial. But the case itself directs
public attention to the possibility that
other war contractors, ever other men,
bers of Congress, used the war emer-
gency for private gain.
That is one of the worst evils of war.
Graft on war contracts is probably as
old as wal itself. Whatever the Roman
equivalent of Civil war suffers MAY
have been, WI have records Of their
robbery of Caesars legions. It was
practiced in VI own Revolution.
There is the history of the "embalm-
ed beef" served American forces in the
Spanish-American wal, during the in
vestigation of which, with General
Miles presiding, a can of the stuff blew
up on the prosecutors table on a hot
Washington afternoon. It existed dur
ing the First World War.
The need is for Congressional in
quiries of other irregularities reported
in war contracts with court actions
to follow if evidence of probable guilt
is obtainable. Another need is that
unless proof of irregular court pro-
ceedings in the MACPHERSON case can
be produced the full measure of punish
ment be meted out to the defendants,
despdte Mr.. Nays advanced age.

doesn't make the new law look too

First reports that the coal op-

little bit more seem to have been
highly exaggerated. But the miners
will probably get a new contract
even better than they had under

the fact that the entire U. S. coal

HOW TO MAKE A CROssBoW

The powerful crossboW was wide
ly used throughout the Middle
Ages. We are going to show you
how to make a simple crossboW
that will really work.
The stock of the bow is cut by
means of a jig-saw from a piece OF
hard wood an inch thick; we give
you the pattern to be followed in
figure l. A hole ga of an inch
square is cut at the end of the
stock; the bow is to fit in this.
The bow Is made Of hazel or
ash, or any wood that bends with
out breaking. The bow should be
two feet long, 3-4 Of an inch thick
in the middle and is to taper off
at both ends (see figure y. When
you have finished cutting the bow,
bore two holes in it at each end
tabout an inch from the end; the
bowstring will pass through these
holes.
Next, pass the bow through the
hole in the stock. You may find
that it will stick at first. Sand
paper it at the middle until il
passes through the hole. 1t should
be held in position in such a man:
ner that the stock divides it into
two equal parts. The bow should
fit tightly in the stock. If it does
not, apply some plastic wood OF
liquid cement to the portion Of the
bow that is to fit into the stock.
A groove is now cut along the
top Of the barrel of the stock;
the arrow will rest in this groove.
Place an old iron tube Or rod IAN
old curtain rod will do) in a fire
and keep it there until it is near
ly red-hot. Then take 1t out Of the
fire, handling it with a pot-holder;
lay it along the barrel SO that it
will be exactly parallel to and
equally distant from both sides OF
the barrel. The tube or rod will
burn the required groove. After
the groove has been produced, rub

is absolutely smooth.
You now string the bow; any
kind of stout cord will do for this
purpose. When the bow has been
strung, pull back the string until
it is in the position indicated in
figure 8. Next, make the trigger,
as shown in figure 8; This is made
Of wood, from a quarter to a half
inch thick. 1t is fastened to the
barrel by means of a screw, in
such a manner that it will turn
fairly easily. Note that the end OF
the trigger nearest the boWstring
extends an inch or So beyond it.
For your arrow you may use
any cylindrical stick that will fit
into the groove. 1t is placed along
the groove so that one end is at
the trigger end of the barrel. as in
figure 8.
When you are ready to fire, pull
the finger end of the trigger to-
ward you. In doing SO, you raise
the other end of the trigger. This
in turn raises the string, until ii
clears the surface against which
it has been resting. The bowstring
thus makes contact with the ar
row and shoots it off into space
with considerable force. With a
little practice YOU will be able to
shoot accurately at a target.

if the steel industry will absorb

is all passed along to the con-
sumner the price of steel may 60

Since industrial prices in

One Hope of Peace

In the last war, there were only two
major new weapons-the atomic bomb
and the German guided missiles. All
other weapons simply represented de-
velopments of lethal instruments which
had long been in existence and involved
no revolutionary principles. Some basic
weapons, such as the rifle, have been
essentially unchanged in generations.
And even a block-buster is simply an
evolutionary advance on the small aerial
bombs of the first war.
Todays armament race does not fol-
low the classic pattern of attempting
to produce and store more standard
weapons than the competing nations.
Its emphasis is largely on new weapons.
AS a consequence, much of the race
is being run in the laboratories-rather
than in the munitions factories.
This, Of course, is particularly true
of atomic weapons. Our atomic bomb
plants are still going at full capacity,
and the work being done is as complete
ly shrouded in secrecy rs in wartime.
The Russians are known to have put
a number of the leading German nu-
clear physicists to work on atomic re-
search, and to have given it number one
priority among their own scientists. No
one outside of Russia knows Just how
much progress has been made.
1t would be a grave mistake, how
ever, to let the terrible potentialities
OF atomic power blind us to other pos
slble innovations in the art of warfare,
Our own army has been carrying on
extensive experiments with guided
missiles, using the seized German equip
ment, and other armies are unquestion-
ably following suit. This is one of the
most omlnous weapons yet devised,
and some experts believe that had the
European war lasted another year or
so, Geaman technicians might have
been able to develop it to the point
where it would have crushed England.
When the latest type of bombs appear
ed, England established a strict cen
sorship to keep knowledge of the dam
age done from becoming known to the
world. These weapons were particularly
terrifying in that their speed was SO
great they outran their own sound.
Thus, the explosion took place before
the missile was ever heard. What kept
them from becoming a decisive factor
was their in~accuracy. They could be
aimed to hit a section of a city-but
they could not be controlled with suf-
flcient accuracy to strike a particular
target, such as a power plant or ar
arsenal. Present efforts are directed
at perfecting the guiding equipment
and giving them the accuracy of artil
lery.
