NEXT WAR TO COST
FOJTR TRHITON

1t has been estimated that z
third world war would cost the
United States four trillion dol
lars. This is the figure set by
Captain L. Smith, as he spoke on
this subject recently before a
group of business, industry, edu-
cation and labor leaders at the
University of California.
Capt. Smith noted that the av-
erage increase in the cost of the
country's successive wars has
amounted to a ten-fold rise in
many cases. If World War III,
if there is one, costs this country
four trillion dollars, that would
be about ten times the cost of
World War II.
Considering the fact that we
are now carrying a national debt
of about $3.50, 900, 900, 600, which
costs this country approximately
81, 900, 600, 1000 in interest each
year, one can see the conse-
quences of a four trillion dollar
war. One of the results of such
a war would probably be the
eventual reputation of the ma
tional debt, or such initiation that
it would wipe out values, as we
know them today. The interest on
four trillion dollars, even fig
ured at a low rate, would amount
to about S120, OO0, 900 900 a year.
It is obvious that this country
could not carry a debt calling for
interest of such proportions. Even
# things were greatly inflated
and the budget, which is now
about balanced at approximately
SOS, 900, 900, 600, could be increas-
ed to $780, 00, 000, 1000, the nation
could not carry a 100000, 000,-
300 interest bill.
Therefore, among the conse-
luenceS of any new war might
we'll be the reputation of our
.ountry's currency, bankruptcy
or thousands, restitution for mil |
ions and an end to III way of
ife, as we have known it for
many years.

much as three days in advance
We know there is need for such

glad to see the Air Force and
Navy cooperating with the
Weather Bureau in this effort
However, we hope the effort is
not too costly, since weather is
still a mysterious thing - some
thing the experts do not fully
understand.
In fact, we are inclined TO
agree with a college professor,

dictable, and there are many mys-
teries yet to be solved. Congress
appropriated $500, 900 last year to
initiate the project to discover
how to forecast the course of
hurricanes. 1t is now estimated
the work will cost $4,000, 600.
There is little need in ap-
propriating such a sum of money
if science and mankind does not
have the knowledge to under
stand why various weather phe-
nomena occur. However, the re-
suits of this latest Weather Bu-
reau project should prove one
thing beyond a doubt - whether
money can produce adj

1855
TOLL FINAL

Final reports indicate that
$4,000 lives were lost in traffic
accidents in the United States
during 1855. This makes last year
the third highest on record for
highway fatalities.
Even though the figure is high,
the fact that 1941 and 1887 pro-
duced higher fatalities, when less
cars were on the road, indicates
that the many safety campaigns,
and added safety features to
cars, are making some impression
on the travelling public.
There is little question that had
not forward strides been made in
the fields of traffic engineering,
law enforcement and education,
the higher volume of traffic in
1855 would have produced a
greater number of fatalities than
1887 or 1941.
The record year was 1941,
when approximately 10000 people
were slaughtered in traffic &C.
cidents. Compared with the 1855
figure of $4,000, one can see that,
considering the greater volume of
traffic last year, considerable
progress has been made.
Nevertheless, If progress toward
safer driving habits, better engi-
neering, better roads and better
traffic management cannot be kept
one step ahead of the growing
number of motorists, the figure
will begin to climb again. For,
while the death rate per 100. 000,-
900 vehicle-miles has been de-
Ginning in recent years, the chart
showing the number of fatalities
has been progressing, at a zig
gag course, upward. Last years
death rate was ga, which repre-
sents a figure two per cent high
er than the 1854 mark, which
incidently - was the lowest
rate on record.

AS Jesus once remarked to

it was his faith that actually cur

Even in the business world, one

must maintain our faith in our

GROWTH OF
FOUNDATIONS

A recent publication, "Philan-
thropic Foundations" reports or
the growths of these organiza-
tons in the United States in re-
cent years. The report, published
by the Russell Sage Foundation,
shows that huge growth in the
number of foundations, and their
work. has occurred in the United
States since 1945.
For example, in 1914, there
were only sos foundations and
their combined assets totaled
about 1913, 900, 900. Annual ex-
penditures were about $72,000,-
900.
BY 1850, just six years later,
there were more than a thousand
foundations, and assets had risen
to s2,574,0 900, 1000. Annual expen-
ditureS were estimated at
S133, 900, 900.
1t is estimated that there are
now 5000 foundations in the
country, with combined assets of
almost S5,000,0 600, 900. Annual ex-
penditures are estimated at about
S400, 000, 900. Included in the ex-
penditures are grants estimated
at about $500, 900 900 a year.
The growth of foundations in
this country obviously gives them
an increasingly important role in
influencing the American way of
life.
If these foundations are to
