cure one million signatures OF
young Americans, Reverend Free
derrick B. Jansen. co-chairman OF

mittee for the World Peace Ap-
peal made the following state
ment:
There seems 10 be only one
chance in his whole wide world
for the youth of all countries q
find the opportunity to grow and
work with their minds free of the
gnawing and facilitating fear OF
oial war. And tina chance is a
united movement of the youth
for peace youth determined 10
make their leaders acquiesce to
the rightsul demand for a lasting
peace. The task Of aver ing war
is not job we pay other people
10 do 1t rests upon our should
ers, we who are possessed of
voices capable of speaking out
and being heard. This is no time
for Christian youth to turn their
backs upon the stark facs of
atomic sockpiles. hydrogen bombs
and meteorological warfare. II is
time for Christian youth to join
hands with their brothers of all
races and all creeds and form a
solid front against war. Remem-
Der that in ten years time we may
no longer possess hands to join.
AS Christians here is only one
decision to make as we view the
world scene. We are they who
have chosen to walk in the foot
steps OF One who told the world
Of the irresistible power of love
and the irresistible power OF pray
er. We are they who, of all peo-
pie in the world, should have the
confidence that Gods blessings
can be ours. All we have to do
is to cooperate with Cod and il
is Gods will that men should
dwell together in peace and unity.

HOW ABOUT RESURFACING OUR STREETS

HOW O RESURFACING III STREETS
II E of the two towns on ST. Croix should be
resurfaced. There is no doubt about it, for after extensive
digging practically everywhere, the result is either mud dur
ing rainy season, or dust during the dry times. It seems most
unfortunate that a definite program could not be carried out
with definiteneSS & finaEty. Such a total waste of time, energy
and money is most distracting, and causes one to wonder if
after all this island is not going to suffer for it. A Job which
ordinarily should have been done and forgotten, still fingers,
with added money to be thrown in, wasted energy, and worst
Of all the injecting of fear that somehow, without the slight
est warning, something will again go wrong, and the streets
will have to be dug up all over again.
MERCHANTS N residents in sections where the
streets have been turned into trenches have the disgusting
and unfortunate experience of suffering according to the sea-
son of the year. Heavy rains turn the streets into small floods,
with mud all over the place, yet when the sun comes out
again, a miniature dust bowl is on hand to ruin merchandise
and give added work to residents, who must try to keep their
homes clean.
II CONDITION surrounding the streets keep con-
Stantly before the public the entire matter Of the public works
program BY this time those who reioiced at the news are
completely amazed that little has actually been done. AT
least there should have been a modern, completely equipped
high school plant, either a new all-island hospital. or just re,
pairs and Improvements to each that they served their pr-
pose aoequatey. put notnlng mas been done, and the sewer
system which was the starter is still in the starting stage. It
has always been q matter Of sheer mystery to us how a me-
chanicaI project could be dragged out to the stage where no
thing definite seems to come of it.
HOWEVER, IF AND when the project starts towards
its closing stages, serious thought should be given to resur-
facing mot patching) the towns streets so that they look and
serve again as they were originally intended to. Only by re-
~surfacing, land that would be an opportunity to do a good
job could the streets serve their real purposes, at the same
time clearing the mud during rain, and reducing dust in dry
times. Il is a matter which deserves thinking about now.

In reply to a series of questions
dealing with the military crisis in
Korea, Mrs. Truman said this
country will take whatever steps
that may be necessary to meet
the military situation. He quickly
added that that includes every
weapon the United States has.
Asked whether use of the
atomic bomb was under considera-
ton, the President replied that
there has always been active con-
sideration of the use of the atom
bomb. But he does not want to see
it used He described it as a ter
rible weapon and said he did not
want to see it used against Wo-
men and children who have moth.
ing to do with military aggression.
Mr.. Truman'S replies to ques-
tions were made after he had
read to reporters attending his
press conference prepared state
ment on recent developments in
Korea, describing the battlefield
situation as uncertain at this
time"
United Nations forces in Korea
are there to put down an ag-
gression that threatens "all hu-
man hopes of peace and justice"
Mr.. Truman said. If aggression is
successful in Korea, he predicted,
it will spread through Asia and
Europe to this hemisphere.
The President proposes to meet
the new crisis in three ways Cd
to work in the United Nations for
cenconcerted action to halt ag-
gression in Korea; CD to intensi-
fly efforts to help other free ma
tions strengthen their defenses TO
meet the threat of aggression
elsewhere, and CD to increase
rapidly the military strength of
the United States.
'"1nis is a time for all our citi-
zenS to lay aside differences and
unite in firmness and mutual de-
termination to do what is best fer
our country and the cause of
freedom throughout the world"
Mr.. Truman said, adding:
This country is the eystone of
the hope of mankind for peace and
Justice. We must show that we
are guided by a common purpose
and a common faith"
Asked whether he thought the
situation in Korea called for gen.
eral mobilization, Mr.. Truman re-
piled that that matter is being
carefully considered.
