No DANGER OF ANNIHMATIoN

Only those in very high places in gov

truth about the great scientific develop

reason, it is interesting to get the view

is any basis for fearing humiliation of all
life in an atomic, or hydrogen, bomb war;
Polluten of the world to this extent, he
iays, would entail an effort far beyond
that needed to win war between major
powers"
Mr.. Strauss also expressed the opinion
that ground forces and naval forces have
not been made obsolete by atomic-bomb
war concepts. He believes that government
monopoly in atomic energy is necessary as
long as there is a threat" but he does not
believe that large-scale dispersal of IN

THE F OR FALLAcY BOMB

Probably many Americans are guilty
of orc or more of the nine ''fallacies' list
ed - Lewis L. Strauss; member Of the
Atonzs Energy Commission. There are
some who think that atomic energy will
ultimately supplant all other forms of
powH There are others who believe it
holdsthe cure of all mans physical ills.
Still uthers, more jittery or credulous than
the majority, are convinced that the hydro
gen bomb will destroy the entire planet.
Mr.. Strauss denies these premises as
well As several more that are similar. He
is particularly emphatic in his rejection of
the he0ry, held by well-meaning people
in alEmalks of life and assiduously spread
by seine liberals as well as by the Com
munists, that all that will be necessary to
induce Russia to disarm is to set the ex-

It may be that it is not the peoples
fault If they have fantastic ideas about

have RECALLED them with frightening stor-

Indeed, some of them have seemed to go
out of their way to scare the public out of

WE'RE NOT CHILDREN

A family we know has three-year
old son who. lives in a perfect planned
economy.
He is provided with complete security,
subject, of course, to paternalistic author
ity. He is comfortably attired although
his preferences as to selection of his cloth
es are subject to his mothers own ideas.
When he is in need of medical attention,
he has no choice in the selection of the
doctor That is decided for him. At meal
times, he eats what is put before him-or
he doesn't eat. If he wants to go out and
play, he must seek parental permission.
IL any request is refused he has no re-
course If he complains too loudly he is
subject to adequate disciplinary mea-
sures the advice of child psychologists
notwithstanding.
From the time he crawls out of his
bed in the morning until he returns pro-
testingly at night, his own desires and in
clinations are guided by parental preroga-
tives. After all, he is only three and there
fore cannot be expected to be "produc-
err" He is told what to do, when to do it
and how to do it. He is learning that the
best way to get along is to do as he is told
and stay out of trouble.
The ''do-gooders" and opportunistic
political planners in Washington have set
themselves up as the paternalistie author
ity for all of us. All of us except the Gov
eminent officials, that is. They would like
to relegate us to the same status as our
three-year old in telling us what to do.
Once relegated we would then re-
ceive food, shelter, clothing medical care
and all the other things that go to
make up our economic security All of this
would come to pass, regardless of how
much We as Individuals would have con-
tributed to the total production. Even our
three-year old, when he is old enough,
would become producer" for the State
and so subject to the planners dictates as
to kind of job, location and pay-if any.
All of US want security for ourselves
and our families, but complete domination
of our lives as outlined above must by its
very nature bring us into complete subju-
cation to these same planners who, wheth-
er they admit it or not, will become our
masters.
It's d beautiful picture the campaign
ing politician draws for US when he pro-
misses as more welfare. It's so, so difficult
for him to add that the only way that
more canbe obtained is to produce more
Consequently, in our desire for secur-
ity we too often are content to settle for
his glowing promises. All of us like to get
a bargain. The idea of Something for
Nothing" excites the imagination to the
point that we want to ignore the cold,
hard facts of the truth of the situation.
The voters of America are faced with
a choice of individual opportunity of 'Wel-
fare" security. Given the whole truth,
there is no doubt that their choice will be
the right one.
