' The advent of the atomic bombs seems to mark the culmination of another human adventure, in which the questioning mind of man has sought, found and harnessed the ultimate powers of death and destruction. The imagination staggers before.this latest weapon of war, the mind fails to paint its future in a world that is turning its thoughts to ways of peaceful and orderly living. If the atomic bomb tends to shorten the war with Japan and hastens the day of peace, its mission will have been accomplished. We hope that it may then be relegated to the realm of things no longer needed; we can scarcely hope for a world ruled by peace and justice if this terrible machine is produced in quantities and its use become familiar to those whose ulterior purposes it might be made to serve. The idea of splitting of crushing atoms is not a new one; a number of years have passed since first we learned that the dear old atomic theory was passe, that the atom was divisible and that it had been made to yield up strange and hitherto unknown forces and powers which, it was hoped could be used to augment the comfort, well being and happiness of man. Another apple has been snatched from the tree of wisdom; new frontiers were disclosed, far horizons beckoned. Scientists the world over began to study the new elements, in the hope of discovering their origin and nature and so began blazing new trails into that realm where the secrets of the universe are caught, harnessed and made to serve the needs of ‘humanity. Strange, that the first world’s shaking result of all this concentrated effort and study, should have been — the, atomic bomb. Shocked as we are by the power and deadly potential of this new weapon of warfare, we may feel quite sure that it will soon complete its mission and pass away, to make way or implements of peace in a world in which fear gives place to confidence and man’s inhumanity to man is no longer tenThe search for knowledge will go on and on, the new frontiers will be conquered, men will still hear the call of far horizons. Out of the destruction and carnage of the present, will come those things for which we long. The forces of the unvierse will be found understood and used by those who seek and these secrets will be made to serve creatively and constructively in the better days to come.—A. Merriam Conner. IF JAPAN HAD WON England has learned, through the seizure of a_ secret document of the nazi high command, what her fate would have been under conquest by Hitler. The English were to be a slave people, their country transformed into Germany's main war workshop to turn out weapons and materiel for nazi use against Russia. This German plan may convey a mild approximation of this ration’s fate had the Japanese conquered America. The nazi blueprint for English enslavement provides in part: Deportation to the continent of all Englishmen between 17 and 45, and their replacement in England with German workmen; this to prevent sabotage. Death to any English person impeding the nazi war effort. National laws maintained only if they were “not contrary to the purposes of the occupation.”” Rigid rationing, with the people's health to be considered important only in relation to the. slave nation’s efficiency in production and to_preclude epidemics among their nazi masters. Japan’s plans as would-be victor over the United States. if they are ever found, almost certainly are -of even sterner stuff. The nazi regime for England embodied cold, merciless efficiency in exploitation. But Japan’s warlords, by their combat savagery and torturing of prisoners and interned civilians have made evident an almost psychopathis hatred for the American people, such as Hitler felt toward Poles and : Jews. The intrinsic cost of victory in this Pacific war, in American lives, in suffering and in treasure is incalculable. Yet we know, as the English know, that the price will be cheap, even though it should impoverish this generation and_ its children and its children’s children. There can be no price tag on the dignity of liberty of a civilized people.—Contributed. WORLD SERIES FOR G. I.’s American generals and admirals have seen their GI's and gobs do the finest job of fighting leaders could wish for. Also they have seen, wistfully, nostalgically, hanging around their radios when off duty, listening to sports broadcasts from home. Listening most nostalgically when that king of sports classics, the World Series, is on the air. _ This autumn the World Series is going to be brought to those men. It cannot be exactly that, of course—but the next best; thing. The American and National leagues, by personal request of Navy Secretary Forrestal and Admiral Nimitz, will send the team that wins the world series on a 90-day tour of bases throughout the Pacific front. _ Nor will the soldiers and sailors merely watch the big leaguers in exhibition. That isn't the idea. Army.and Navy (there's a raft of good ball players out there—a lot of them ‘better than the over age men and 4-Fs who chiefly man the big leagues today) will take on the world’s champs at various ‘of Radio Tokyo, bases—and their rooting ‘buddies will for the time being be back in that ol’ bal! park. What that will do for morale needs no explaining to any American male!» Long after the history of thé battles and invasions has gone into history books, thousans of the men who fought them will recall their greatest thrill the time their leaders brought to them championship baseball—that wondrous bit of home. —Contributed. THE RED MAN EATS. If U. S. diplomatic service needs a genius, Chief Spotted Crow, of the South Dakota Sioux, may be the man. Foreseeing rationing, he loaned buffalo to a state park, on a duration “‘interest’’ arrangement. Last week his tribesmen feasted on.an interest payment—the meat of three buffalo, point free.

O’Brien, USN, Director of Welfare, today cited Tokyo Rose for ‘‘meritorious service contributing greatly to the morale of United States armed services in the Pacific,’’ and gave her permission to broadcast soon to the United States Army of Occupation in Japan and to the ships of the United States Fleet at anchor in Yokohama bay, the history making scene of Admiral Halsey riding the Japanese emperor’s white horse through the streets of Tokyo.”’ The ‘citation’? wag recorded by Captain O’Brien for broadcast over “the Navy Reporter’ radio program which is short waved to all personnel beyond the continental limjts. The text of Captain .O’Brien's statement follows: “The men and ‘women of the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard take pleasure in presenting this citation to Tokyo Rose of Radio Tokyo for service as eet forth in the following: “For meritorious achievement while serving as a radio propaganda fbroadcaster for the Japs. While the United States armed forces in. the (Pacific have been extremely busy capturing enemy held islands, sinking Jap ships, and killing Japs and more Japs, Tokyo Rese ever solicitous of their morale, has persistently entertained them during those long nights in fox holes and one board ship, by bringing them excellent state side music, laughter and news about home.
