AMERICANS who are sometimes irritat-

find peaceful solution to problems arts
ing with the Communists might understand
the British attitude a little better if they
studied the geography Of Great Britain.
Not only is Great Britain Just now re-
covering from the terrific economic strain
of World Wa II, but geographically, Eng
land stands to lose everything in an atomic
war.

WHAT will be the worlds largest war

was recently launched at Newport News,
Virginia The Forrestal will displace more
than 10000 tons, fully loaded, and repre-
sents a completely new series Of carriers.
The contract for the huge warship was
let in July, 1851, but its construction sche-
dule has fallen almost yeag behind. The
keel was laid in July. 1862, but the big
ship is not expected to get into operation
until late next year.
The final cost of the Forrestal is eX-
pected to top 5000, 900. which does not
include the cost of her complement Of some
100 aircraft.
Since the Forrestal was authorized,
three other huge carriers have been an7
thorized. and fifth -typqf aknlffs

this is written. The second ship in this
series is the Saratoga and is under con-
struction at the New York Naval Shipyard
in Brooklyn.
The Ranger, the third Of this series,
has been authorized, and will be built at
Newport News. as was the Forrestal. The
fourth huge carrier has not been named,
but will be built at the Brooklyn Navy
yard.
This series Of carriers is being built in
line with ten-year carrier-ayear program
laid down by Dan A. kimball. Secretary
of the Navy under former President Harry
Truman. At the end of another ten years,
the United States will probably have ten
super carriers which will out-class any
thing else of its type in the world What
happens to these huge ships in any new
war will probably finally answer the ques
ton whether carriers are out-of-date in
view of arrival of the atomic bomb.

Looking at Fate

with the Russians Moreover, Russian
bombers could easily reach England from
East Germany, whereas they could not so
easily reach the United States or Canada.
Therefore, talk about a preventive war
as some of the United States military lead
ers have INDUCED in in recent years fright
ems some Britishers almost out Of their
wits
This sort of talk was described very
effectively by G. l.. Sulzberger, writing in
The New York Times. Sulzberger reported
that Britishers felt little bit like villagers
on the Vcsuvian slopes as that mountain
starts to grunt. We think this describes the
British fears very effectively and explains
why the British seek to exploit every posi-
blity of peaceful settlement, and co-eXist-
ence. before following "a course which Will
lead TO atomic war.

If YOU are the average working man. you
are putting in about two and haif
hours day for the I. S. Government.
That's the average time required by the
typical American to earn the money ne

In other words, if YOU start work at
nine o'clock you're working until about
a half an hour before noon for Uncle Sam.
That's what the kentucky Tax Research
Association found in a recent compilation.
The Association also worked up figures
showing what the average man uses the
money earned from the rest Of his day tor.
