government employees. And there will

top pay for the service rendered, there
are fringe benefits including retirement
programs. Government is the biggest
business in the United States, and it is
employing more and more people. When
it raises wages it inevitably follows
that wages go up all along the line Big
business follows suit, labor unions see
to that. Little business struggling to
survive is squeezed near the breaking
point. This raise in wages is the begin
ming Of another initiation spiral.
Big business is hard put to compete
on the world market, due in part to the
cost of producing goods because of in
flatlonary wage rates. Cotton textiles,

Control of Fusion
Readers are acquainted with
references to the atomic bomb
and the hydrogen bomb. The
atomic bomb dropped on Hiro-
shima had the explosive force of
over 10000 tons of INT, whereas
the old "blockbusters'' had the
force of only one ton. Yet the
newer hydrogen bombs may have
a thousand times the power of
tie atomic bomb. These are i'm
portant things to consider in con-
nection with the possibility of
World War Ill But in looking to
the future, there is this differ
ence: Atomic energy has already
been harnessed for the develop
ment of electricity; but no prac-
teal method has been found for
harnessing hydrogen energy for
peace purposes. Considering that
hydrogen energy may be found
in every pond Of water, while
atomic energy can be secured
only from uranium and similar
substances, the industrial future
is locked up in the discovery of
means of safely Harvesting n.y.

duced by fusion. There also may

One of the worlds greatest
miracles is how sunshine, air,
water, and the minerals of the
earth can directly develop corn,
wheat, potatoes, spinach, and
every other kind Of vegetable.
Today, we raise foods only by
planting seeds, cultivating the
sprouts, and waiting seceral
weeks for maturity. Even then
we eat only a small portion of
the properties which have been
used to develop a kernel of corn.
Surely some day the secret will
be solved whereby this sunshine,
ali. water, and minerals will
make food directly without the
waste of farm land, human ener-
ey, and vegetable residue. This
process is technically known as
synthesis.

will be no telephone wires on
