American industry is spending
considerable more money on of
fice staffing and equipment today
than in 1920. This is because of a
realization that good records and
statistics, prompt communications,
and other office work is as im
portant to production as machine
work in the plant.

over $20,000 per minute for de

Atomic war could destroy our
civilization and perhaps life itself.
There is no effective military
defense against atomic attack. It
has been estimated that we would
I be fortunate to knock down 40
I per cent of planes attacking with
atomic bombs, before they deliv
ered their bombs on target.
History is full of examples of
insane attacks; thus being prepar
ed for war does not necessarily
prevent being attacked.
Could the United Natio'ns be
given additional powers so that
it could prevent aggression and
preparation for aggression, both |
Communist and other?
Yes, if aU powerful nations
agreed.
Changes Recommended
Here are some changes that
have been recommended by out
standing “builders of peace.”
1— An agreement by all nations
to disarm, by progressive stages
checked by international inspec
tion in all weapons and armed
forces down to agreed amounts to
maintain internal order.
2— Changes in the United Na
tions Charter giving the U. N.
power, now lacking, to enforce the
disarmament agreement on indiv
idual violators and prohibited
weapons. The vital enforce
ment of law on individual viola
tors is successful everywhere. En
forcement on nations, the only
method the U. N. has now, is war,
the very thing we want to avoid.
3— Changes in the United Na
tions Charter to provide a veto-
free executive. The Security
Council should be shorn of veto
in matters of aggression and prep
aration for aggression, and the
executive made responsible for
administering and enforcing dis
armament. ■
4— An agreement allowing the
United Nations dependable
sources of money to carry out the
disarmament program.
At present the U. N. can only
ask the nations to contribute
funds which they may or may not
do.
The United Nations is now go
ing through probably its most dif
ficult period. When the United
Nations was launched at 6an
Francisco, it embodied the hopes
of many people throughout the
world. These hopes were perhaps
exaggerated, as are those of pa
rents planning the future of their
new born son or daughter. Many
people thought the United Nations
would be able to solve all inter
national problems right off and
none of us would have to carry
this burden after that. The United
Nations is a place where nations
can meet together and whatever
is done has to be done by them
and ether nations that make up
the membership of the United
Nations. ’
I would like to close with this
thought so often quoted from
FRIDAY. APRIL 2. 1954
President Lincoln’s second Inau
gural Address.
“With malice toward none; with
charity for all; with firmness in
the right as God gives us to see
the right, let us strive on to finish
the work we are'> in—to dO' all
which may achieve and cherish a
just and a lasting peace, among
ourselves, and with all nations.”
