For the Record
What Atomic Enerqy Can Do
World Will Need NucIeor Fuel Soon, for Coal, Gas
And Oil Supplies Continue to Diminish Rapidly

ing and heating done by
atomic energy. Indeed the
N. Y. Consolidated Edison co.
has just announced it's plan
to construct an atomic plant
which may be operating within
five years. But everybody
agrees that as time passes
coal, gas and oil will be ex-
hausted. Then atomic fuel and
solar energy will remain to
keep mankind alive and pro-
crossing.
Atomic engineering, there
fore, is going forward under
the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion and industrial and univer-
sity centers of research and
experimentation as fast as pos
sible. The most promising
development is that an atomic
fuel breeding system can be-
established. This means that
the atomic furnace, called a
reactor. will make more atomic
fuel in the process of using a
given amount of such fuel.
AS each day passes we seem to
be shortening the time neces-

be q wise diplomatic strategy
but a poor military strategy.
Western statesmen's fears Of
an enlargement" of the war
In Korea were responsible for
the loss Of that campaign. A
similar fear in regard to the
full defense of Formosa may
result in the loss of that is
land to the Communists.
The State Department is
convinced that the men in the
Kremlin know full we'll what
their Chinese allies are doing.
In spite of its alleged complete
independence, the Chinese
Peoples Republic depends
entirely on the U. S. S. r. for
its military supplies and its
air and naval forces.
1t is iriconceivable that the
Muscovites did not nod to
their Chinese partners to go
ahead and further humiliate
the United States by sending
prisoners of war to Jail as
spies" 1t is even more like
ly that details for an attack
on Formosa are being care
fully planned by the Soviet
general staff. The present
Red policy seems to>be to keep
Europe happy" and to con-
tinue the turmoil lin the Far
East.
Because Of international
commitments OF the United
States and the feeling of our
policy makers that we should
do nothing drastic which
might ALLEVIATE our allies in
Western Europe. the Reds be-
lieve that this country will not
adopt an independent tough
policy. short of another Pearl
Harbor.
Every time we became tough,
as in the case Of the Berlin
blockade, the Communists
yielded. But in 1948 the
Muscovites were still rafting
their Sabers in Western Eu-
rope and our allies indorsed
and even co-operated with our
strong measures.
Now. Western Europe is be-
ing given the co-existence

approve any stern steps
against the Red outrages.

third of the States population are
stockholders in co-operatlVes operat-

ter than one half of the people living
in North Dakota are patrons OF co-ops
of one type or another" That is TO
say then, that there is between 500
and 1870 as many non-memDer pa
irons as there are stockholders am
curious to know just what the right
figure is on this point. How about CO.
op filling stations along our highways?
Is there a single case on record where
customer was chased away from a

to REA co-ops hogging the federally

Drops a Line
Dear Harry:

Dear Harry:
In all the years since the PEOPLE
VOICE has been telling the truth where
the truth has been badly needed, I have
missed very few copies. l sat with the
original group who organized the paper
in 1887. Every week there is something
highly deserving of praise, in fact
many such things are printed every
week in the Voice.
I have never been a great hand to
sefd letters to the Editor, and do not
now intend to send this one in that re-
spect. This is merely a note of con-
graduation to you both for the con-
tinued fine work you are doing, for the
never ending truth you print each
week, for the constant struggle you
labor to bring this news to those who
will listen and read and recognize the
truth when it is written.
Probably you folks feel many times
that it is not worth the effort to do
what you are doing. But, 1 assure you
that it is more than worth the effort,
and that being right is never replaced
by anything else. 1t just can't be. 1
hope you will never change, and l am
sure you never will.
