developments to justify their blind and completely
isoationist policy They point to what they consider
hostile plans and pronouncements on the part of
western countries and western spokesmen that
seem to them to belle the genuine offers to estab-
lish friendly relations. There is no point now in
analyzing Russian thinking or in arguing where
the responsibility lies for this dangerous state of
affairs. The fact stares in the face that the world
is divided Intellectually, economically and morally
into two great camps, and that the Iron Curtain
between these two camps must be removed before
horrible and irrevocable damage is done on both
sides.
The Russian people are now given completely
distorted view of way of life of our social eco
nomic, political and religious aims and aspirations.
Wehave no knowledge what the Russians are think
ing and feeling except in the words and actions of
their official spokesmen. On the basis of these
words and actions we cannot but conclude that the
Russian people are being taught consistently that

fore we of the West must under the circumstances,
be prepared for the worst until the Iron Curtain
is lifted.
The attitude of the two camps on atomic energy
and weapons is now undergoing change in view of
the fact that Russia, as well the United States,
today possesses atomic power. But even more
urgently does the barrier of the Iron Curtain re-
quire removal. For if peace is our objective, any
agreement to outlaw the military of the atomic
bomb or the agreement on the international control
and inspection of atomic energy, must be accom-
panied by the raising of the Iron Curtain. Nothing
less And it is to this end that the statesmen of the
whole world must fervently devote themselves,
now
For only in the absence of iron curtains, only with
the establishment of free interchange and move-
ment between the East and the West of goods,
people and cultures, such as must exist between
friendly neghbors is there hope for the peace
worthy of the struggle.

Iron Curtain

1t is not the atom bomb that will bring World
War III For now that Russia has the atom bomb,
its use as military weapon probably will be out
lawed, just as poison gas was outlawed. No nation
great or SMALL dares to use gas germ warfare for
fear of reprsal No power will initiate vast destruc-
ton by means of atomic weapons, knowing that
another great power will retaiate with even more
terrible destruction
For this reason revitalized United Nations
must forge workable agreement between Russia,
the United States and the other powers, on the
international control of atomic weapons.
But outawing this weapon is not enough. Gas
warfare has been outlawed by agreement for years.
yet World War II came just the same There is no
guarantee that if atomic warfare is outlawed we
will not drift into World War III because of the
much greater threat to peace, the Iron Curtain.
So long as the Iron Curtain divides Europe into
the secret East and the open West suspicion, fear
lack of mutual understanding, Illustration and the
building up of human hate, must inevitably lead to
greater and greater military apprehension pre-
paredness for war and finally explosion into war
itself Already we are in the midst of colossal arm
aments race.
There is now practically free movement of
people or of ideas between Russia and her satellite
countries the one hand, and Western Europe
and the rest of the Western Hemisphere on the
other. Practically all cultural relations are at
standstil All the suggestions offered by our State
Department and various private organizations since
the end of the war to exchange students, artists,
scientists and literature have failed or remain un
acknowledged.
Not only have these offers been turned down or
disregarded but worse still the Iron Curtain has
been made rigid and impenetrable. 1T is in
fact, illegal for Russian citizen to indulge in
conversation with foreigners!
This is the picture some of us, in the countries
not dominated by Russia, see it. The Russians may
have their own version of recent international

The year that has passed has
been a year of abrupt transition.
Israel emerged victorious from a
three dimensional war in which
the enemy could be seen, out
Unanswered and conquered, only
to enter another battle against
an entirely different enemy. This
new foe was insidious - it could
not be met on the field of battle
= it was an economic war that
threatened and still threatens
with lack of food, inadequate
shelter, unemployment and fear.
This was the war that Israel had
to fight and is still fighting -
the war that menaces like an
epidemic, and whose front-line
is in every house, every tent
every settlement, every industry.
1t has truly been a year of I'M
matched superlatives. Great vic
tories have been won, but even
greater challenges lie ahead. The
most stirring accomplishments
have been achieved, but still
greater problems must be solved.
The greatest number of immi-
grants have entered the new
State, but more housing and more
jobs are needed than ever before.
Thus, the past year has been a
time that tried mems souls, their
imaginations, courage and re-
sourcefulnesS.
AS the din Of festivities sub
sided, statehood became an ir-
revocable and accepted fact,
fact that seemed to be dwarfed
by the great ard unprecedented
tasks that confronted Israel.

Lunches For
School Children

The school child's lunch, whether
eaten at school or at home. should
include about one-third of the days
food requirements, DR.. r. H. Riley,
Director of Health, emphasized in
calling attention to this statement
on Maryland's school lunch pro-
gram just released by the Chief
Nutritionist of the State Depart
ment of Health. Since one-fourth of
the weeks meals are eaten at noon
on school days, it is highly i'm
portant for both the home and the
school to recognize the essentials
of a good lunch.
"Out of 309,512 children attend
ing Maryland's public schools dur.
ing the academic year 1948-1949
total of 94,634 boys and girls
participated in the National School
Lunch Program" the Nutritionist
announced. "This number repre-.
sents about one-third of the school
age population in this State.
"The program now in effect is a
joint effort Of Federal, State, and
local agencies. The U. S. Depart.
ment of Agriculture apportions
funds, which Congress appropri-
ates annually, to each state accord
ing to the number of its school
children and its per capita income
The law requires that the state
match the Federal funds dollar for
dollar until 1851.
I'm Maryland the State Depart
ment Of Education administers the
program, with the local Board of
Education as the local sponsor.
Children usually pay 20 cents for a
Type A lunch, which includes: 2 OF.
protein foods such as meat, poultry,
fish, egg, cheese, peanut butter
or dried beans; Y pint of milk ;
OF. fruit andlor vegetable; 2 tea
spoons of butter or oleomargarine ;
and. 2 slices of enriched or whole
grain bread. The school is reim-
bursed 6 cents for each pupil who
receives the Type A lunch. Schools
which serve the Type C lunch
milk only receive a + cent re-
endorsement for each " pint of
milk served under this type.
