5, 200 Miles Under the Sea

The remarkable three-week, 5200-mile
undersea journey of the United States SUBJ
marine Pickerel gives dramatic emphasis to
the menace of the snorkel. The submarine was
stealthy, elusive warcraft without the German
developed breathing snout. Now, with the tube
which enables it engines and its crew to breathe
indefinitely under the water, it is a far more
dangerous threat than ever before. What makes
the menace so grave for America is the knowl-
edge that what our submarines can do, enemy
submarines undoubtedly can do as well, or even
better. Not to be forgotten is the fact that the
Russians got the Jump on us in snorkel research
and development. They had the advantage of
obtaining the services of the cream of the Nazi
U-boat engineers, with most of their plans, plants
and equipment
The snorkel has eliminated the submarines
dependence on electric motors for underwater
propulsion. The tube provides air for diesel
power while running beneath the surface, so
that it no longer is necessary to come up and
recharge batteries as In the past. Thus, the
submerged range of snorkel submarine Is lin
tied only by its fuel capacity. Even that limi-
tation will disappear If atomic power plants
replace diesel engines, as has been predicted
Development of such a power unit is being in
tensively studied now by atomic and naval
engineers If, in addition, the submarine should
become carrier of atomic bomb missiles, either
of the torpedo or rocket type the terror of the
submarine will have reached its ultimate level. It
is to counter this danger that the Navy is con-
centrating much OF its attention on anti
submarine warfare weapons and methods. The
Hong Kong to Hawaii trip Of the Pickerel makes
it clear why the anti-submarine project is being
given priority at the Pentagon.

Inteqroting the Rhine

One of the most hopeful proposals toward
Western Europes economic integration Is that
for Rhine Development Corporation sponsored
by the Union of Rhineland Chambers of Com
merce and Industry Membership in this asso-
citation includes Austria, Belgium France, West
Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and
Switzerland. The fact that business men and
industrialists from this entire bloc of countries
are backing so constructive an idea is in itself
significant
The Rhine, of course, is already major
artery of commerce, from it's North Sea mouth
in the Netherlands to the head of navigation at
the Swiss river port of Basel. Nevertheless, much
more could be done both in improving the
navigational and power possibilities OF the
Rhine itself and in linking it to other important
rivers by canals. To effect this larger ntegration,
an overall international authority is needed,
looking at the problem as whole rather than
from separate national points of view. This ap
plies especially to the development of hydro
electric potentials, such as those of the Upper
Rhine from Basel to its source beyond Lake
Constance and of the river Mosee. Such de-
velopments, as envisaged by the Union, would
be patterned after our IVA
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the
project is the far-reaching implications attrib-
uted to it by it's sponsors. They argue that,
far more important than specific improvements,
would be the organization of permanent team
work among the riparian countries in spirit of
true European cooperation In other words, the
projected Rhine Development Corporation can
attain its larger purpose only if it expresses
the harmonious and concerted effort of the
countries concerned for common ends. Such CO.
operation would, it is said, have solid basis in
a real community of interests and be far more
effective than the politically -motivated and thus
far unsuccessful attempts to set up regional
customs unions
One of the methods suggested for financing
the corporation and its activities would be an
agreement of the riparian countries to set aside
for this common purpose part of the funds which
they deposit in domestic currencies as payment
for ECA aid and which usually are made avail
able for domestic use by special ECA authorize
ton. This idea should appeal to ECA notably
promoting that European integration which is
its major objective.

Bomb Damage to Hospitals

For the past several months, there
have been a number of articles showing
the danger of concentrated centers in
the event of an atomic bomb attack.
There has also been an underlying
thread of thought that war is in the
offing.
Now, we have the action of taking
a portion of the Soldiers Home grounds
and building hospital there. A quick
look at a city map shows that this area
would suffer considerable damage if a
bomb were dropped over the center Of
the city.
Do we believe the group stressing prep
aration against an attack or do we take
an attitude of Indifference?
It seems that what we really need
from the Government is unity of action
and consistent position in information
handed out to the public. a.

This and That
One authority puts it this way:

One authority puts it this way:
"An old delusion-which is still belief
of many ignorant people, especially in
the South-is that the nighthawk and
the whip-poor- are identical.
There is, indeed, some superficial
resemblance between the birds. and they
have the common habit of perching
lengthwise on a limb or fence rail, but
actual comparison of them reveals
marked differences. as to both size and
coloration.
1.-The most conspicuous Of the distin-
gushing marks Of the nighthawk are the
plainly marked white wing bars. which
are to be seen plainly from below, and
which the whip-poor- lacks.
"The whip-poor-will furthermore is
essentially a bird of the woods and does
not-at least before nightfall-go hawk
ing around in the open after the some
what crazy manner Of the nighthawk.
"Close comparison of the birds would
reveal the possession by both Of a very
curious comblike process on the inner
edge Of the middle claw of each foot.
This comb the bird uses in freeing itself
of vermin."
The other bird spoken of by our corre-
spondent was in all probability myrtle

Cherry Blossom Man
Disguised Radio Fan.

Yukio Ozaki, the major of Tokyo who
sent to Washington the cherry trees
whose blossoms grace the Tidal Basin.
this year recalled the gift Of nearly 40
years ago. He sent, by the Japanese Diet
group which visited Washington in
February, tankd-the japanese 81
syllable poem-which was placed in the
Library of Congress by the leader of the
group. The verses, in English quatrain
form, read:
The cherry trees I sent abroad
With hope of spreading radiance
there.
Haze blossomed, adding to the spring
Their beauty and perfume so rare.
-Yukio, Old Man of 80 Years.
AS the trees once more are the cynosure
Of thousands of eyes, it may be interest
ing to recall something of the man be-
hind the gift. Ozaki-San was a member
of the japanese Diet for 60 years and
was mayor of Tokyo in the period just
before the war of 1914-1918. He was a
consistent liberal of the Constitutional
Party and sturdy fighter for interna-
tional good will and social progress at
home.
He was in the United States for several
months in 1881. when the japanese mill
tary started their first China incident"
In few public addresses he emphasized
the Importance of friendly relations be-
tween Japan and the United States, and
won some criticism of them at home. In
october or November, 1881, he spent
some time in Boston, and made my Office
port Of call. At the time, the news
papers were full Of the reports from
Manchuria of steady Japanese seizures
of towns and cunning excuses for
this sort of protection"
BY every mail from Geneva I was re-
ceiving dozens of the kilograms which
the japanese government was sending to
the Council of the League of Nations to
explain the necessity" for their action
and from the Chinese government show
ing that the attacks were naked aggres-

Ozaki-San to the Office, and together we
spent much time going over them and
analyZing the situation.
"Our militarists are on the march,"
Ozaki concluded. "and they will not stop
until you stop them"
It was a startlingly bold conclusion,
and we debated it at length. He insisted
