J No Subscription Received Under 6 Months h Thursday. June 17. /9.» / I Thanhs To IT homy The president of one of the great steel countries, in a recent address to a college graduating class, declared ‘‘opportunities have more than doubled within the last ; generation. . . He went on to say that business has more • than four million enterprises today as • against two million enterprises a genera | tion ago. It was also pointed out that ! church membership exceeds 92 million as | contrys'ted with 48 million a generation ago. I He went on to point out that the farmer now j can produce food for himself and fourteen • o*het persons as against about eight people ; a generation ago Thy steel magnate went ; ‘ on and on. pointing out acomplishments I i chalked up during the past quarter century, j i America truly is a great nation, and its y march of progress since the early thirties • is really astounding. While -the forward march was in pro ’ gress. we were *old that a man by the name of Roosevelt was wrecking the nation, that ■ the country would topple under its own weight. It is vividly recalled how the poli ticians shouted about the isms, the debt and everything. The. steel magnates and pos sible the same speech maker apparently did not think much about the rise of the masses and that march of progress when they were in the making. .Now,-a 'r!-y.v.>..!■; vt;ths merits of th« past quarter century, are prais ed. Surely, the steel people, the corpora tions. management, labor and all the com mon folks had a part in that march of progress, but it took men like Franklin Roosevelt to lead the way. But there are no thanks, no appreciation in some quarters for his'efforts. A Sacred Trust t l We should never let a friend go out of our lives if we can possibly help it. If mis understandings Wise, let them quickly be set aright. Friendship is too rare and sacred a treasure to be thrown away light ly. And yet. manv people are not careful to retain friends. Some lose them through inatention, failing to maintain those little amenities, and kindness which cost so lit tle—hooks of steel to grapple and hold friends. . Some drop old friends for new “ones. Some take offense easily at imagined slights, and ruthlessly cut the most sacred • ties. Some become impatient of little faults, and discard even truest friends. Some are incapable of deep and permanent affection, and fly from friendship to friendship, like "Hnrds fly from bough to -bough When we have once taken friends into our lives, we should cherish them as rarest of friends.—The Right Hand. Misdirected The cartoonist put President Fisenhower to ringing the bell, calling for unity and , tolerance. The plea is good as far as it goes. Mr. Eisenhower should call all his , party boys, headed by the Wisconsin smear- ! er. together and ring the bell with one hand j while holding a sledge hammer in the other, w- In the face of his Armv bovs and his smearers, Mr. Eisenhower will have to ! ring the bell a long, long time before it is I heard by the masses. Each of us imagines he is bigger than # Fate—an exception to the rule. And out of the sadness, we distil a kind of joy, on account of the fact that we are alive. In the pains of others, there is a certain satisfac tion, and we mentally are congratulating ourselves on the fact that the tragedy is none of ours.—Selected. 1 The Oppenheimer Cane Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists 7!.; .ecu >tif.'r - aga-iu-t-Dr Op.pcnheiw.jf fall into two main categories: one concerns his contacts prior to ifHli with Communists ut Communist-sponsored groups; the ntl**r is his opposition many years later to the de velopment of the thermonuclear bomb Asuming. as we do. tnat the government has no other grounds for distrusting Dr. Oppenheimer. we do not see bow the treat ment car. be justified. The first set of facts were substantially known ‘.o military intelligence at the time when General Groves decided to place Dr. Op penheimer in charge of the atomic bomb developments at Los Alamos; to the Atomic Energy Commission when he became chair man of the General Advisory Committee: and to the Security Council when they turned to him for advice in matters of high national and military policy. It seems to us a breach of faith on the part of the govern ment to call upon a man to assume such heavy responsibilities in full knowledge of his life history and then, after he has de monstrably done his best and given the most valuable services to the nation, to use the facts which were substantially known all the time to east aspersions on his in tegrity These charges required examina tion when they were first made; but to re vive them now from the irrelevance to which a brilliant record of national service had finally relegated them, appears to us to be contrary to both decencv and common sense. No nation has ever flourished by re warding public service with instfUs. The second accusation touches on the rights of persons called to high positions to think for themselves and to trv to convince others of the correctness of their ideas. Can the government expect to obtain honest ad vice from the best minds of the country if they run the hazard of being deemed secur ity risks for the opinions they express? Dr. Oppenheimer opposed the develop ment of the hvdrogen bomb. So far as we can judge, his reasons were based on techni cal. moral, and political grounds. We say “so far as we can judge,” for one of the hardships under which any adviser labors in this age of secrecv is that he cannot de fend himself publicly; nor can he check his judgment by consultation with others, whose scientific and technical qualification, or moral and political leadership would en title to a valid opinion Insofar as Di. Oppeuheimer'a opposition was based on the then existent nuclear tech nology. it was shared bv several other very able men. Technical advances, which they did not anticipate, were to make the con struction of the bomb altogether simpler •tbanr So tar as his-sb jeciions were moral and political, he was entitled to his opinion as a man, and it would be absurd to sav that all doubts on these scores have been resolved or perhaps ever can be resolved. It may be objected that a? a technical adviser he should have con fined himself to technical advice; and that as an adviser who was overruled, he had a duty to accept the decision. The first ob jection is debatable; and the second involves allegation about his subsequent conduct, which he strongly disputes. But supposing the government to have harbored both ob jections, and to have decided that they out weighed any benefits to be obtained from Dr. Oppenheimer’s advice, thev could have exercised the privilege of any government to change its advisers without challenging their patriotism. It is over two hundred years since English-speaking people found it necessary to involve persons in high places in a suspicion of treason in order to dispense with their advice. Are we pro posing to return to the methods of the sev enteenth century? Scientists as a community feel no obliga tion to vindicate all of Dr Oppenheimer’s judgments. Many scientists have disagreed with him in the past. To cite one example, he was one of very few scientists who had favored the May-Johnson bill, which would have continued military control of the atomic energy project after the war. But past differences dc not affect our trust in his Integrity and our respect for his motives. Security The quest for security is motivated by an entirely normal human longing. But it can never be satisfied with money alone; nor can it be guaranteed to the population by government. Just when economic security may seem within the grasp of a people, inflation or depression, national bankruptcy or war can utterly destroy it. And when this happens, the attribute of self-reliance, built on a foundation of Christian faith, is both a na tion’s and an individual’s best chance for survival and recovery. Thus the more personal security we de velop as individuals, within ourselves, the more secure our future will be.—Sunshine i Magazine.
