RUHR:
Solution

One of the major problems of the
uneasy peace-what to do with the
Ruhr, Germany's prime industrial sec
tion-was solved when the U. S., Great
Britain and France agreed in a series
of conferences at London that they
would place the Ruhr under interna-
tional control.
1t was decided also that the economic
and industrial assets of western Ger
many, perennial breeding ground for
German wal machines, would be en-
listed in the Marshall plan.
Moreover, the western powers agreed
that western Germany should have a
federal form of government, providing
adequate central authority but protect
ing the rights of the various states.
Indicative of the manner in which
statesmen of the western powers are
thinking now was the fact that Germany
will be represented in the international
control of the Ruhr but that Russia
very probably will not.
Recognizing the Importance of the
Ruhr to the recurring surges of Ger
HAL dSBIGSSlOl, Vic NOiiIOiSANN ~OH'
munique pointed out that "the purpose
of this international control would be
to ensure that the economic
of this area should not again be used
for the purposes of aggression and that
there should be adequate access to the
coal, coke and steel of the Ruhr for the
benefit of extensive parts of the Euro
pean community including Germany"
Stressing the absolute need for CO.
operation among the British, American
and French zones of western Germany,
the conference observed that the "con-
tinuous failure" of the foreign minis
tiers council to reach four-power agree
ment "has created a situation in Ger
many which, if permitted to continue,
would have increasingly unfortunate
consequences for western Europe"

FINNISH:
Aid to Russia

1t was with no clapping of hands
that the government of Finland decided
to accept the proposal of Prime Min
lister Josef Stain of Russia to dis
cuss a treaty of mutual military aid.
Russia, which needs military help
from Finland about as much as the
U. S. needs a f%ve-year plan, put the
proposal of a discussion to Finland's
President Jugo K. Paasikivi within a
week after it had swept Czechoslovakia
into the Soviet orbit.
Having no alternative, Paasikivi ac-
cepted the Invitation" and appointed
a negotiating delegation of seven mem
bers, including one military expert,
government officials and parliament
members.
Soviets say they want a binding
treaty of mutual military assistance
against future German aggression.
Talks presumably were being held on
that basis, but it was the task of the
Finnish negotiators to do all they could
to prevent Finland from being chained
to Russia in a military treaty.
There was little doubt in the minds
of Finnish leaders that this was Russ
las first step in a campaign to gain as
complete control over that little north
,ern nation as it now holds over the
Balkans. And in the final analysis the
Firms would capitulate in the stark
interests of self-preservation.

EDUCATION:
And Religion

In a ruling that, for good or ILL.,
could stand to affect the moral stature
of this and succeeding generations OF
Americans, the U. S. supreme court de
clared unconstitutional the use of public
school systems to help any religious
group spread its faith.
Religion and government, the de-
cision said, can best work to achieve
their lofty aims if each is left free
from the other within its respective
sphere"
The ruling upheld a protest by self
professed atheist mother, Mrs. Vashti
McCollum, that a system of religious
teaching in Champaign, ILL.,, schools
breaks down the wall between church
and state.
Delivering the main opinion, Justice
Black held that under the facts shown
the compulsory education system in Ill
inois ASSISTS and is in%tegrated with
the program of religious instruction
carried or by separate religious sects."
He said pupils legally required to go
to school for secular education are re-
leased from some of that legal duty
on condition that they attend religious
classes.
"This is beyond all question a utiliza-
ton of the tax-established and tax
supported public school system to aid
religious groups to spread their faith"
1t was an issue that parents as well
as all other U. S. citizens would do
well to consider.
There were two facets which would
bear reflection:
The supreme courts decision con-
irmed a long-standing and honorable
theory in the U. S. that there should
be no interference between church and
state and no influence exerted by n
on the other. The ruling would seem to
safeguard the nation against the two
extremes of a state-controlled church
or a church-controlled state.
But at the same time, the broad
language of the decision failed to rec
ognize the historical Importance of
religion in creating civilizations and
forming and molding nations. Western
civilization grew out of the Christian
church. Enforcement of the cause and
effect now could be dangerous.

CONSULTATION:
Holy Land

Leading experts on global anatomy
were getting together in a consultation
to determine whether there was any
conceivable way in which they could
perform a painless dissection of Pales-
tine.
Russia, France, China and the U. S.
had been requested by the United Ma
tions security council to hold one OF
their famous conferences to study how
partition of the Holy Land into in
dependent Arab and Jewish states
might be effected. Britain, too, had
been asked to participate but declined
the invitation, although ~consenting to
sit in in the role of advisor.
AS the consultation got under way,
the United States vas reported ready
to seek big power agreement on a new
Cancellation effort in Palestine. Warren
R. Austin, chief U. S. delegate, said
he felt the talks should deal primarily
with the question of peaceful settle
ment."
But while U. N. delegates might talk
in New York about a peaceful settle
IleIly AIdu lllllildiy iOASSo VA AN oPNS
in Palestine had vastly different ideas.
Arab Commander-in- Chief Fawzi ell
Kawkji publicly issued a vow to free
Palestine from "the zionist menace
whether it takes one month, one year
or a generation"
Red-haired Ell Kawkji, the Arab
chieftain who had led anti-British and
~anti-Jewish revolts in 1886 and 1889,
had Just returned to Palestine after an
absence of nine years. He came back,
he said, to fight partition, intrigue and
zionism."
"We came here to fight anyone who
stands for partition, be they British,
Jewish or an international force"
What the United Nations conferees,
none of them eager to apply interna-
tional power in the Holy Land, could do
against this kind of %gun-waving local
zeal was a problem which so far had
them completely baffled.

NEW ATOM:
ThOrium

Already we'll beyond the awesome
Threshold of the atomic age, nuclear
scientists are continuing to step deeper
into the contradictory wilderness OF
creation and destruction that appeared
when the first atomic blast burned up
the night and the sands at Los Ala
mos, n. M.
Latest step is the manufacture of the
first small pieces of a new kind OF
atomic bomb and fuel metal, according
to an announcement by DR.. Glenn L.
Seaborg, atomic scientist.
Where formerly the extremely rare
metal uranium 235 wal the only prac-
ticable substance through which atomic
energy could be produced, there now is
a new metal, known as uranium 233,
made by changing the heavy metal
thorium into uranium.
This new form of uranium does not
exist naturally on earth, nor is it
known to exist in the stars.
DR.. Seaborg reported that a small
fraction of an ounce-actually only a
few hundred milligrams-of the thor
ium metal has been made in the Han
ford, Wash, uranium-graphite, chain
reacting atomic piles. Apparently, al
though DR.. Seaborg did not amplify his
announcement to include this implica-
ton, the use of thorium for atomic
power is considered practicable.
Since thorium is three times more
plentiful than uranium it will be the
worlds main reliance for atomic power.

ID
announcement

AS far as grabbing the spotlight was
concerned, President Truman and Gen.
Douglas Macarthur stumbled all over
each other with their coy and almost
simultaeous announcements that they
would accept a presidential nomination
if the people called them.
The declarations by the two men,
coming within just a few hours OF
each other, were perhaps a symbolic
prelude to a similar but greater lash
of personalities and political forces
which it is now possible might develop
later this year.
MI. Truman said he would run for a
full term as chief executive if the DEM
ocrats would nominate him; and Mac
Arthur opined that he would accept the
presidency eff called by the American
people" but would not actually seek it.
Taking note of the fact that petitions
have been filed in Wisconsin putting
his name in the primary there on April
6, Macarthur issued this sonorous
statement:
"While it seems unnecessary Tor me
to repeat that l do not actively seek
or covet any office and have no plans
for leaving my post in Japan, l can
say, and with due humility, that l
would be recreant to all my concepts of
good citizenship were l to shrink be-
cause of the hazards and responsibilities
involved from accepting any public
duty to which I might be called by the
American public"
Republicans, however, were going
easy in their comments on the generals
willingness to accept presidential noml-
nation, confirming them, for the most
part, to ~peripatetic remarks about what
a highly regarded figure Macarthur is.
Sen. Ralph Flanders (Rep., W.T. SAID,
"I think General Macarthur would be
doing the country a disservice if he
left the job he is in until he has put
it in such shape he can leave. That's
the place the Lord put him."
Other politicians were wondering
about the spot that the Lord and Harry
Truman was putting them on. South
ern Democrats, despite Mr.. Truman's
announcement of his candidacy, were
not burging an inch from their stand
opposing him and his civil rights pro-
gram. Some of the southern states,
notably Mississippi, went right ahead
with their plans to prevent their cleo
toral votes from going to him.

Perennial Blooms

Two Patterson, N. j., brothers, Drs:
Philip and Sidney Joffe, have reported
the discovery of a chemical solution
that will preserve freshly cut flowers

They claim their secret process likes
the cell structure of the flower and
preserves it's color, form and texture
Only drawback is that the bloom loses
its fragrance. The brothers ave
worked on the solution for the last

PANIC PITCH
Americans Ready to Go off Deep End

duce wholesale panic. Many Americans
are ripe to go off the deep end from
just such a scare, no matter how fan
tastic it may be, DR.. Fremont-Smith
contends.
The reason people might be easily
panicked is the widespread worry,
anxiety or fear over the possibilities of
atomic war or of depression. This sets
the stage emotionally for panic.

ALCOHOL:
For Fuel

The man of distinction, instead of
delicately pouring alcohol down his
throat, soon may be siphoning it into
his car for fuel.
A new carburetor makes it possible
for a car to be driven entirely on ethyl
alcohol, the drinking kind, instead of
gasoline.

farm chemurgic conference at Omaha,

MISSIONARIES IN AFRICA

November %, 1947
Dear Mother:
Here it is 500 p. m. and
think of it, we've just finished
dinner a short while ago!
Church lasted till $3.50 and
then we just took our time
eating our food. We had
nice brown roast, brown po-
tatoes, carrots, peas, gravy,
turnips, Sounds like Thanks
giving a little early, doesn't
it?) For dessert we had tea
cake (fruit) and pineapple.
Thanksgiving will be just an
other day for us as these Eng
lish people know nothing of
it. I believe Bob plans to kill
the goose for the day. One
thing is sure, it won't have
your dressing in it, but TIL
thank the Lord for it anyway.
Lots of missionaries in other
parts of the world won't be
eating like we will.
