Why Not Talk About 1t?

It is an interesting commentary on our
times-and sad commentary-that peace
seems to be becoming an almost unnen-
tionable subject. The statesmen of the
world, our own included, shy away from
1t. They are afraid of being misinter-
preted If they are Americans for exam
Pile, they hesitate because they fear the
Kremlin will feel appeasement is in the
air and will play tricks accordingly. Simi-
larly, If they are Russians, they will breathe
fire or beat the propaganda drums rather
than appear to be somewhat frightened
of the danger of war.
The latest example of this psychological
skittishness took place the other night
when Andrei A. Gromyko Cancelled an
address he had been scheduled to deliver
at the annual dinner of the American
Russian Institute-an organization which
the Justice Department has accused OF
being subversive He was present but he
remained silent presumably having re-
ceived orders from Moscow not to follow
his original plan. The explanation OF
this, according to a Soviet source, is that
he did not want his intended remarks to
be taken to mean that his country was
pleading for peace.
But why should anybody of any nation
ality be reluctant to plead for peace? If
the peoples of the world do not want war,
why must the statesman feel obliged to
be less than fortnight in echoing that
sentiment and in suggesting ways to trans
late 1t into concrete action? Are we con-
fronted here with a psychiatric problem?
Are adult governments displaying signs
of arrested development? Despite the
maturity and the wisdom they are sup
posed to have, are they acting like little
grammar school boys who feel that it is
matter of prestige to glover at each other
in order to make sure that nobody will
regard them as sissiesf,
OF course, the troubles of the world
cannot be reduced to such simple questions.
Still, an average citizen cannot be blamed
too much II he sometimes suspects that the
statesmen may be little silly in fearing
the consequences Of peaceful speeches.
After all, peace in itself can be lovely
thing. and it is just barely possible that
the more we talk about 1t and sing its
praises, the better will be the chance of
achieving it, Certainly, it ought not to get
the silent treatment. Like virtue, 1t Is a
decidedly mentionable subject and by

Something Should Be Done

The new car situation today has reached q
point Of ultimate disgust Our country Is at
the height of prosperity. The materials that
once went into the war effort gradually have
been converted back to meet civilian demands.

before the war are obtainable now
Why doesn't the same condition exist in
the automobile Industry Why Is 1t that an

Is 1t because manufacturers can demand higher

Social Reform in ItuIy

1t was probably no coincidence that,
within twenty-four hours of each other,
Premier de Gasperi and Pope Plus XII
made detailed statements Stressing the
need for far-reaching economic and social
reforms in Italy as the best antidote to the
virus of communism. De Gasperi heads
government dominated by his party, the
Christian Democrats, who have espoused
a program of social justice" long advo-
Gated by the Papacy and perhaps best
described by the phrase Christian So
cialism"
Although Christian Socialist principles
have been adopted by Roman Catholics in
many lands, no country stands more in
need of them than Italy. With limited
natural resources and swollen popu-
lation, economic and social maladjust-
ments bear especially hard on the poorer
classes, urban and rural alike. This was
true even before the late war. But, OF
course, the catastrophe destruction OF
the war accentuated every problem and
predisposed the poverty-stricken and de-
spairing masses to listen to Communist
propaganda. Perhaps the outstanding
feature of the Communist campaign was
it's success among the landless peasantry
of Southern Italy, where vicious system
of absentee landlordism has survived
almost unchanged since feudal times. In
Italian industry, likewise, despite progress
in technical efficiency, many employers
have retained an almost feudalistic atti-
tude that has engendered resentment and
hostility among the workers and has rem
dered them likewise receptive to Commu-
mist agitation.
BY an almost superhuman effort, in
which the church played leading role,
the Communist trend in Italy was stayed.
Yet 1t was generally understood that this
electoral victory was, in sense, a re-
prieve rather than an overcoming OF the
Red peril So long as the causes of social
unrest were not resolutely grappled with,
communism's latent threat would remain.
1t is therefore as significant as it is
hopeful that the government and the
church have enunciated a positive pro-
gram for the remedying OF existing abuses
and the removal of legitimate grievances.
The government announces a policy OF
land reform, especially in the backward
SOuJl, coupled WIN e1CeIlSlVe IcCldIIIdUlOL
projects which will give work to the rural
masses and ultimately provide more land
for landless peasants. On the industrial
front, De Gasperi stresses a program OF
economic progress and equity. He ap-
pealed to both employers and labor unions
to cooperate in the solution of the in
dustrial problem urging employers to re-
duce profit margins and reinvest reserves,
while calling upon the workers not to i'm
pede production by excessive agitation
and strikes that can be avoided" In SINH
lar vein, the Pope urged all Catholics to
press for needed social reforms "to pro-
vide" the poorer classes with housing,
bread and work"
These twin pronouncements constitute
a hopeful augury that Italy is about to
undertake truly constructive program of
reform which should result in national
stabilization and progress. The concrete
problems are many and complex. But at
least the will to solutions is strong among
those who now guide the state. And that,
in itself, is a long step forward

Stars, Men and Atoms
Eggs Made Radioactive i
By Dieting Laying Hens
Test Shows How Food Reserve
Is Stored Up in Poultry
By Thomas r. Henry

Radioactive eggs, produced by feeding laying
hens tiny amounts of the exploding isotope Of
phosphorus in their ordinary diet, have been
reported to the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science here
The hens continued to lay such eggs for q
month after the feeding was discontinued, and
the radioactivity could be detected even after
these eggs were hard-boied.
This research, reported by Dr. j B. ONei and
his associates of the University of Saskatche-
wan, was much more than a stunt to satisfy
curiosity. The intention was to uncover facts
as to how the hen utilizes food for egg produc-
ton. 1t shows clearly that at least part of ths
phosphorus element in poultry diet is stored
up in the bones and muscles, forming reserve
supply which can be drawn on day after day.
This was further confirmed by finding slight
traces Of the radioactive phosphorus in bones
Of one of the hens used in the experiment I'd
In another report to the association Drs
S. F. Howell, j. D. Thayer and L. w. Labaw Of
the Public Health Service tell of producing
radioactive penicillin, which may prove of great
value in tracing the action of this powerful
germ killer in the body.
Penicillin is extracted from mould The
experimenters grew this mould on a medium
containing radio-sulphur. sulphur is one OF
the essentials for mould growth. 1t was found
that some of the radioactive atoms taken up by
the growth were incorporated in the penicillin
extract
1t was found, according to the report, that
radioactive sulphur acts precisely as does ordi-
nary sulphur in the process Of biosynthesis, the
only way in which penicillin can be produced.

Air Tight Transit

A woman just can't sit by an open window

For the benefit of those that oppose open

Food for Thought

by Mary t. Davenport, Nutritionist
Delaware State Board of Health
Many of our, friends request in
formation on sources and relative
values of proteins. This interest
can be traced in part to the high
cost of animal proteins. In addi-
tion to this, protein foods are gain
ing new recognition for their pro-
tective value. For some time we
have recognized their contribution
in the prevention and cure of the
primary anemias. Present day in
formation shows new Importance
for proteins beginning with intra-
uterine life and continuing into
what was formerly called the tea
and toast" era. The two main
sources of foods containing pro-
feins are meats and vegetables. A
combination of these two sources
is believed to be the best method
of meeting protein requirements
nutritionally and economically.
Requirements vary with age, sex
