A HOME IN HIROSHIMA

When the atom bomb descended
and exploded in Hiroshima on the
morning of August 6, 1945, the dis
astrous blast left some very telling
fleets. botn physically and socially,
n and around Hiroshima. But the
effect of the bomb was not limited
to Hiroshima; 1t resounded around
he globe leaving world wide con-
,eouences.
The other day I ran into a most
unique consequence of the tragedy.
This consequence. at the present
line. is mostly in the mind of a
tall, socially conscious fellow by
the name of Floyd w. Schmoe.
Last summer. he made trip to
Japan with one of the goat boats,
chiefly 10 look for ways in which
some of the Americans could ex-
nress their concern and good will
toward the people Of Hiroshima. He
is planning on returning to Hiro-

five associates.

Hiroshima?

Many people have asked tn

bases of understanding more ade

CAN HIGH taxes take us down
the road to socialism? Yes, whole
lot farther than most people think.
rop economists are pointing right
now to danger signs that affect you
and your job. With taxes having
long ago neared the breaking
point" it is just possible that unwise
legislation for more spending and
taxes could upset the nation.
The plight our nation is in right
now because of tax load that re-
nuires more than quarter out OF
every dollar of national income, was
apparent in the Presidents recent
message. Mr. Truman stressed the
need for high steel production and
for expanded facilities. (Steel out
put is hitting new all-time peaks
even better than wartime highsO 1t
would be the part of the federal
government to build plants and pro-
duce steel, If private industry did
not. Mr.. Truman said. For this,
Who would put up the capital9
Who Pays?
OBVIOUSLY, you would. BY paY-
ing taxes. When government goes
into business, the effect is to spend
money, not make 1t. That has been
proved too many times. BtH on the
face of it, Mr. Trumans proposition
that the government get into the
steel business---in nothing more nor
less than socialism pure and simple
Continuing. Mr.. Truman said there
must be $4 billion in new taxes
mostly from corporations. The con-
tradiction of it all makes food for
serious thought.
With one breath the government
thus orders business to plan fol-
steady. vigorous expansion ane
with the next proposes taxing pol
icies that will make it impossible
for industry to have funds for ex
pansion. Despite already high take
that make capital timid, the stee
industry has somehow reached enor
nous production levels. But NOR
taxes remain dangerous threat

Today's Editorial
Americans to Note Army Day, April 9

Army Day which falls on April 9, is the day set
aside bv the American people to honor an lnstlt'l-
ton which protects their way of life
If is a self-evidcnt truth that the welfare of the
Army is linked with the welfare of the Nation. TO
build soundly. the Army, and its civilian compon-
ents-thc National Guard the Organized Reserve
and the ROTC-must have the wholchealted sup
port and respect of the people
Army Day serves as a traditional occasion for
the Army to explain itself to the community 1t
also is an excellent time for the community to
demonstrate its interest in the institution which
it maintains with its money and men.
The future is uncertain. The Army must not
only plan for today and tomorrow, but for Il time
the fate of our homeland might very we'll depend
upon how wisely the Army has built.
To discharge this grave responsibility, the
Army must continue to attract high-type intelll-
gent Young men and women who voluntarily choose
military service for career For, despite the many
technical advances, its strength still depends prl-
marly upon the spirit and efficiency of the indi-
vidua soldier.
The Army today offers remarkable opportu-
mites to ambitious youth. It operates more than
so technical training courses. The United States
Armed Forces Institute provides means for SER
vice men and women to continue their education
ON the high school and college levels The pay, TAX
ing into consideration the essentials provided.
such as food, housing clothing, medical care, etc.
compares favorably with civilian income Re-
tircment benefits are generous, permitting sold
icr to retire after 20 years service at half pay;
after 80 years at three-oualters' pay. The demand
for specialists is increasingly important.
Qualified young men and women have several
avenues OPEN to them leading toward an officers
commission.
Young men and women of this community would
ho o1y to ipVC ho los
presented by military service before choosing their
lifetime career.
The theme this year for Army Day is ''Ihe
United States Army part of the tcam--for sec
urtv" This theme will find favor with the public,
because the Armed Services nothing more
than reflection of the desire of the community
for security.

minimum expenses. This kind OF
work group project is not a new
idea Quakers have been promoting
these projects for many years all
over the world Already, we have
more applicants than available pos
iticns: our problem is TO cut down
TO only four persons"
Who is sponsoring this program?
The Quakers of Japan and
America and the Peace Association
of Hiroshima are the joint sponsors.
We have been receiving excellent
cooperation from Hiroshima We
have been assured sufficient rations
so that we may purchase the neces-
sary material for our building. And
the living quarter for our group is
already arranged. We are planning
to leave U. S. the latter part OF
June. Our project will be over when
we complete the house, probably in
the latter part of September"
And that is the plan. A small
group engaged in a small project
seemingly insignificant and futile
gesture in the wake Of the world
shaking bomb. The little house
we will build will be but a small
token of the good will of many
Americans. and that they sincerely

effect of the Hiroshima bomb wa!
