one additional step that would
create law and order on world
wide basis and bring lasting peace
has resulted in the useless slaugh-
ter of millions of human beings
and the Wanton destruction of
billions of dollars worth of the.
worlds resources.
Most any intelligent person,
willing to sit down and think
seriously about the matter will
frankly admit that unless we can
find some way to unite all ma.
tions into world of law and
order we cannot hope for any
lasting peace. We can no more
have world peace without
policeman on the world corner
than we can have national peace
without law enforcement; yet
there are those whose vision is so
blind and whose reasoning
is so warped that they actually
oppose any move in the direction
of creating a world order. They
have nothing to offer in its stead
but DEATH and DESTRUCTION
but they bitterly oppose anyone
who suggests that world peace is
possible.
At this moment they are de-
manding that the legislature of
Florida rescind a memorial to
Congress, passed at the last ses-
sion, urging that this government
take the lead in worldwide eff
fort to set up some kind Of world
law and order that would result
in placing a policeman on the
world corner and put an end to
war and aggression.
They are asking, the Legislature
to disavow and denounce the one
and only thing that can possibly
bring peace to the world. Would
these opponents Of World Gov
eminent advocate the removal Of
the policeman on the street, in I,
their town, country or nation2
Would they ask the Legislature to
wipe out every established court
of law?
They say that support OF any
kind of a limited world govern
ment would result in the loss OF
national sovereignty. They point
out that if this nation were to
subscribe to world law and order,
we ourselves would have to come
under such law; furthermore. we
would have to contribute toward
paying the policeman. They are
right. But aren't we doing just
that in order to enjoy the same
security and protection that local
and national police and law al
fordS?
Our forefathers created a.
United States and brought about
national unity. Did they make a
mistake? Was their reasoning
wrong? Would we have endured
had not this been so ably accom-
plished?

ONLY $40 SAMARTANS LEFT

TEL AVIV,-(P)-The some $50
SamaritanS in Hashemite Jordan
administered Nablus Tin Central
Palestine) sent their high priest,
Amram, for a week to Israel
where he contacted the other so
Samaritans living in the Jewish
state. These $40 men and women
and their children are all that is
left from the more than $500
year-old Assyrian race.
Living in complete Moslem
surroundings, the Nablus Samari-
tans still stick to their old Jewish
faith expressing themselves by
many ancient customs no longer
preserved in modern Judaism.

STUDY CAUSES OF CANCER

Researchers at a worldwide
cancer conference in Paris the
cried that cancer results from
many rather than single cause.
Such factors as degenerative
changes in tissue are believed
to combine with outside agents
of this modern industrial era to
cause cancer. Research into cam
GERS causes is supported by funds
from the American Cancer So
ciety. Give to the 1851 Cancer
Crusade.

4 cents in Delaware, with a max
imum of 10 cents. The low aver
age charge is because most of the
free lunches are of this type. Many
schools without any facilities for
preparing meals serve 1a-pint of
milk at cost, less the Federal sub
sidy of one cent. This is known as
a type CT program.
Mrs. Emmert emphasized that

Alcoa banner, testified before
the committee that he had been
asked to submit plans to pro-
duce another 100000 tons, then
received a "gO ahead" for only
1901 tons.
This was one of the reasons
why the committee asked Jess
Larson, head of the General
Services Administration, why
the U. S. aluminium expansion
program approved by the gov
ernment has so far been limited
to creating an additional pro-
duction of only 446,00 tons.

His reply was that present re-
quirements given him do not
indicate need for any additional
production. Larson said his per-
sonaI opinion is that more pro-
duction is needed, but officially
he can't do anything about it.

This, in itself, is an odd COM
mentary. Larson, as head of the
GSA, is responsible for main
tanning stockpiles, but presum-
ably lacks authority to go with
this responsibility.

picket fence is not new to Lar
son. After Korea, when GSA an

Alcan agreed to sell the U. S.
billion pounds of metal from
the proposed new plant. 1t would
take 8 to 5 years to build the
plant. In the meantime, it is
presumed, Alcan would continue
to sell to Russia's satellites from
present production.

Obviously, Sawy plan
would have put Alcoa, and AL
can, already in control of more
than 500 of aluminium, on the
road back to the more than $50
control they jointly enjoyed
prior to 1941.
Rep. Celler's committee, in
cOndemning the plan, calls for
encouragement of immediate
production expansion by indie
pendent American producers.
Whether Congressional desires
will again be thwarted by high
level bureaucracy remains to be
seen.
All impartial facts seem to in
dictate domestic production can
well exceed demand if free COM
petitive enterprise in the indus
try is allowed.
