Russia's Atomic Proposal

Destruction of all atomic bombs, as
proposed by the Russian member OF
the United Nations Atomic Energy
commission, Andrea Gromyko, and sup
ported by the representatives OF Great
Britain. Canada, Australia, China and
Brazil, with Poland previously commit
ted to 20 along with Russia, would be
all right, ever at the tremendous COST
It would involve, if there were any as
s,1rance that other nations would not
manufacture them once they discover
ed the know how"
What the Gromyko proposal actually
means is that the United States, the
only world power with a supply OF the
bombs on hand, would do away with
them. whether their nuclear fuel were
DESTROYED or preserved for Industrial
use, and place all world powers, includ-
ing the Soviet Union, on a par in their
subsequent production when and If an
other war should come.
The advantage the United States now
holds would be lost, and this would be
tragic inasmuch as the United States
is the worlds chief exponent OF world
peace on an equitable basis for all peo-
Piles.
We cannot consider Mr. Gromyko's
position altruistic. Rather, we are
convinced that the Kremlin, which
guides Mr.. Gromyko's actions, is less
fearful of the atomic bomb as a weapon
than it is that Russia should not gain
the advantage the United States holds.
There is no reason not to suspect Rus
sia's motives in this proposal than there
is not to suspect every step Russia
takes to block the return of peace save
as Moscow would dictate the terms.
The Baruch plan, laid before the
atomic commission many months ago,
would outlaw the atomic bomb as a
weapon. The United States would
gladly accept this proposal, and would
help enforce it with whatever armed
strength might be required, in combi-
nation with it's associates in the United
Nations. But to require it to destroy
the bombs it has, without first know
ing beyond peradventure of doubt that
their manufacture, would be sheer
f%oolishness.
The United Nations still has to
prove it's ability to enforce any measure
let alone a proposal of such great i'm
portance as the future of atomic en-
ergy which as yet has been developed
only as a weapon of warfare.

WASHINGTON - Kansas Sen.
Arthur Capper's Agriculture COM
mittee is expected to report favor
ably this week on a bill "to estab-
lish a national soil fertility poll
cy." If this sounds as if Congress
was about to pass a law to make
the ground yield more crops per
acre, that isn't quite it.
First thing the bill would do is
give the Tennessee Valley Author
ity So million to build IN expert
mental plant at Mobile, Ala, to
make triple super-phosphate fer
tilizer by a new blast furnace pro-
cess, using Florida phosphate rock
and Alabama coal.
Then the Department of Agri-
culture would be empowered to
take the 100, 900 tons of fertilizer
this plant would produce, buy an
other million tons or more from
private industry, and give it all
away free except for the freight
costs.
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
Anderson is against doing it on
this lavish a scale. But the idea
of the bill is to conduct test dem
%onstrations on 2 per cent OF all
the farms in every state in the
Union. This means the tests
would be u on an average OF
80 to 60 farms in every county.
The program would cost $16 mil
lion a year.
All this would go on for five
years. Then the test plant would
have to be sold to private industry
and the farmers who wanted triple
superphosphate would have to buy
it on the open market.
Now this looks like a nice fat
subsidy for the, fertilizer trust.
1t makes the government do a basic
research job, it develops a lot Of
new customers and then it turns
the business, over to private en-
terprise. But strangely enough,
fertilizer manufacturers are try
ing to kill the bill
other round in the old struggle Of
private enterprise VS.. government
operation of anything, any time.

ANIMAL 'LIFE)
ARCTIC AND AFRICAN FOXES
ARCTIC 4

Yesterdays article described
the red fox and the gray fox. Then
there is the Arctic fox, an animal
of the open treeless tundras of the
Far North. His range is as far
north as that Of any mammal. In
summer he is hroWnish with light
underparts. but in winter his hair
is pure white.
However, in certain sections Of
his range. chiefly in and near
Alaska, some of the specimens
are blush drab in color. The pelts
are valued, as this is the color
phase of the Arctic fox which pro-
duces the blue fox of the fur in
dustry. Or some of the smaller
islands off the coast OF Alaska,
these blue foxes have been intro
duced and there they are kept in
semi-domestication for the pro-
duction of their fur.
Arctic foxes feed on Jennings,
hares, birds and, in fact, on any
thing edible that they can dlscoV-
err. In many places they visit the
large sea-bird rookeries, where
they feed on the eggs, the young
and thes adult birds. They have
also been observed following polar
bears and dining On the leftover
remains of the luckless seals
which the bear has killed.
The den of the Arctic fox is
often among rocks along the
coast, although he sometimes digs
his own burrows.
Another member of the fox fam
lily is the Chama or silver fox of
South Africa. This animal has
much the same coloring as the
gray fox Of North America. He is
a creature of the dry plains and
never enters the forest. His food

F~ertilizing The Soil By Law

testified they feared that if the
government made a success OF this
American Plant Food Council
and National Fertilizer Associa-
ton, the manufacturers trade or
CARNATIONS maintaining lobbyists
in Washington, are against it. What
their battle boils down to is an
experiment, it might tend towards
naturalization Or specialization of
fertilizer resources, manufacture
and distribution. Also, these man
ufacturers fear competition from
the Co-ops.
Original sponsor of this soil fer
tility bill is the American Farm
Bureau Federation. Co-sponsor is
the National Farmers Union. This
gives the bill support of big and
little farmers, and it isn't often
that they get together on anything.
The Farm Bureaus real inspira-
ton for this idea ONE from Ten
nessee Valley Authority expert
ments on use of fertilizers. In
1888 IVA started test demonstra-
tons on 2 per cent Of the farms in
its area. Fertilizer use increased
up to 400 per cent.
Then IVA developed an electric
furnace method of producing phos-
pilates. During the war IVA pro-
duced 60 per cent of the phos-
phorus used in munitions. In spite
of all these benefits which the in
dustry has gained, it still bucks
any extension Of this type of re-
search.
What really bothe~s farm ex-
perts is the need for re-enriching
U. S. soil. Heavily drained by
over-production in recent years,
the fertility of American farmland
is said to be running out.
IVA tests indicate that what is
needed is the application of rs
pounds of triple superphosphate
per ere per year to establish and
maintain fertility on pastures and
cropland. Present U. S. use aver
ages only IL POUNDS per acre per
year.
In other words, what the country
is said to need is an annual pro-
duction of six million tons of triple
superphosphate. What it is get
ting under the fertilizer indus
try's production of what it thinks
it can sell is one million tons a
year.
IVA is now producing about 6
per cent of the total. The propos-
ed Mobile plant would produce
another 4 per cent. So 80 per cent
of the business would still be in
the hands of private industry, il

stripe through the eyes. He is
found throughout much of the

Cape of Good Hope.
He roams chiefly by night but
is occasionally seen during the
day. These foxes generally go
about in pairs but sometimes in
small parties. They feed largely
on insects, termites being n of
their chief foods, but they are also
known to eat small mammals,
birds, eggs, reptiles, fruit and
