HERE WE
GO AGAIN
By CATHERINE LAVELLE
Billings, Montana

The French have good reason to
be perturbed by the decision of Brit
ish and American Military Occupa-
ton Forces to give back to German
private free enterprise" the indust-
ries of Germany. ALL German in
dustry is war industry.
Five times Germany has waged ag-
gressive war: Against Denmark in
1864, Austria in 1866, France in
1870, against the world in 1914 and
again in 1888 to 1945. WAS 1T
GERMANY'S LAST WAR?
If we rebuild Germany with the
idea of forming bulwark against
Russia it will be just what Germany
wants Defeat Russia and then turn
on Britain, France and the United
States to finally fulfill her ageless
ambition to conquer the world.
According to the latest news re-
ports, the great firm of Krupp, the
munitions manufacturers, mainstay
of German rearmament for genera
tions, to be dissolved. Let us
see what happened to this firm that
was to be dissolved under the Yer
sailles Treaty-Remembe
AS a part of that treaty, the firm
was required to destroy its machinery
and implements of war. In order to
evade the treaty, Krupp transferred
its patents, its licenses, and it's Sc
cret processes of manufacture to the
Swedish armament manufacturers,
Bofors, in exchange for block of
that company's stock.
While the Inter-Allied Commission
was supervising German disarma-
ment, Krupp continued it's manufact-
ure of heavy artillery, tanks, anti
gas masks, bombs and other
war materials through the Bofors
works, and also through Spanish in
,erests in similar way.
Our Navy used the 40-milimeter
run, a Bofors model developed in
Sweden, on which we paid royalty to
he Swedish firm of Bofors for every
run, and guess where part of that
.oyalty went and is still going-to
<rupp, of course.
When the disarmament control
commission Of the Allies was to come
or an inspection of the Krupp fact
,ry, the management was notified 48
lours in advance by the Hungarian
Military authorities. This gave them
ime to stop the work in the depart
nents where artillery and rifles were
n the making and to cover machines
nd arrange things so that the COM
lission found the place deserted.

Adequate Supply
OF A-Bombs on Hand,
House Members Say
By the A.soeiotsd Press

The United States has IAN ade-
quate supply" of atom bombs and is
steadily making more, Congress
members said today.
They reported that this informa-
ton came from David E. Lilienthal
chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission, during secret testimony
before the House Appropriations
Committee February %.
On the strength OF the Lilienthal
statements, the committee yesterday
recommended an additional $780,
100000 for the commissions work,
the full amount asked.
While committee members were
reluctant to discuss Mr.. Lilienthal's
testimony, they agreed privately
with the statement of Representa-
tive Keefe, Republican, of Wisconsin,
that I'VE have an adequate supply
Of bombs already manufactured" !,
No Figures Supplied.
They said they were not given any
exact numbers and refused to- say
where the bombs are stored and how
big they are.
'The conclusion I drew from the
testimony" Mr.. Keefe said, 'is that
we are proceeding rapidly with de-
velopment of the entire atomic en-
ergy program. I am satisfied that
the atomic program is proceeding
in the interest of the protection of
America"
Meanwhile, the chairman of the
Senate-House Atomic Energy Com
mittee said today he believes that If
war comes again this country should
use the bomb with the aim of short
ening the conflict and saving lives.
Senator Hickenlooper, Republican.
of Iowa. put it this way to a re-
porter:
Il do not think the bomb should
be used indiscriminately. But
have no qualms about our using it
strategically, where it will be an
effcient means of ending the war;"
Wants Full Information.
Still another lawmaker, who would
not allow his name to be used, said
ne believes the public should be told
how many bombs this country has.
II think 1t would be reassuring
information for our people to have"
he explained. 1T might cause Rus
STA little concern, too.
If we didn't have enough of
them, Of course, then we'd be fool
ish to advertise that, but I can't
see why we don't let them know
that we are ready if they want to
start something"
Actually, unless the system has
been changed, no completed bombs
are on hand. Rather, for safety
and security reasons, the bomb
parts are stored separately-to be
finally assembled only in the event
they are to be used.
These parts are (A) the fission-
able metallic components which
when brought together produce the
atomic explosion, OBJ the trigger
mechanism for bringing them to-
gether and CO. the casing for the
bombs.
