Apparently, the forces of Chiang Kai shek, now on Formosa, seek to disrupt any invasion plans of the Communistic Chinese and, perhaps, in addition, would hamper the revolutionary movement by inflicting damage upon some of the great cities of China. In China, it is said, some 500,000,000 live and many of them will be unable to leave their homes or find living quarters else where. The bombing, if it continues, will undoubtedly bring unemployment, starva tion, epidemics and death. Whether the profit to the Nationalist Government is commensurate with the damage and casual ties is debatable. It is too early to jump to the conclu sion that the aim of the Nationalists is mere ly wanton destruction of property and per sons. The raids may have vital military sig nificance in the eyes of the Nationalist Gov ernment at the present time. It will be neces sary to wait and see what future course the Nationalist Government takes in connec tion with the indiscriminate bombing of massed population centers. Let's All Join Hands In view of the somewhat scandalous con duct of well-known film actress, it was inevitable that someone would suggest that the industry or the actors’ organization un dertake some plan to discipline “perform ers who become fugitives from moral de cency and offenders against good taste.” The proposal was made by Gael Sulli van, executive director of the Theater Own ers of America, that Actors’ Guild accept the grave responsibility of disciplining their members. In reply, Ronald Reagan, presi dent of an actors’ organization, says that such a plan would be illegal, constituting an extra-curricular activity, which has already been disapproved by the courts. He points out that “actors as a group are no different from any other group of average good citi zens and workers.” While it is always dangerous to create a private organization for the purpose of re gulating social behavior, there is always the possibility that an organization can, through appropriate by-laws and regula tions, require members to meet a certain standard of morals and public behavior. The punishment of crime, of course, should be left to the courts, but there is probably a way for any association or organization to protect its good name by requiring proper conduct on the part of its members. The strenuous efforts of organized base ball to prevent gambling from getting into the national pastime illustrate the point. We are not familiar with the organization, head ed by former Senator A. B. Chandler, who serves as Czar in organized baseball, nor do we know, its regulations. A visible fact, how ever, is that Mr. Chandler, exercising the powers vested in him, has been able to dis played and to remove whose conduct tends |g?g|pte I In Memoriam ' The sad and untimely death of Ralph Carlton, Jr., popular high school senior and athlete, has caused profound shock to the people of Wallace and the wide host of friends in this section who both loved and admired him. In deepest compassion with the fathom less suffering and grief, now borne by the family who has given one of its members to the call of God in His infinite wisdom, we extend the heart-felt sympathy of a com munity which shares in the Jieavy burdens of this hour. It is not within the realm of human com pass to understand the pattern of our Lord and Master as He divines the fate of us, His children and followers. Rather, it is for each of us to live in the faith that His is the saving strength and that His tender mercies forsake not the annointed in their adversity. For whosoever that believeth, shall live in the house of the Lord forever. To the memory of this flowering youth, who has been taken from our midst to an everlasting life, we lay this wreath of his community’s respect in humble and final tribute to one we loved. Nations Pledge Mutual Aid The North Atlantic Treaty, which went into effect on August 24, 1949, includes twelve countries which have agreed that “an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against all of them.” This means, if it means anything, that if Soviet Russia attempts an attack upon any of the countries, the others will have to make common defense. Recently, Dr. Ha rold C. Urey, the atomic scientist, suppos ed that the Russians might mine the harbor of Copenhagen with atomic bombs, and then suggest to Denmark that, to escape attack, she must get out of the North At lantic Pact. The prospect that Russia might make such an atomic threat against Denmark or Norway under the false idea that the sig natories to the agreement would not con sider that “an armed attack” should be dissipated. Obviously, the other nations would be faced with the necessity of de claring war on Russia unless they saw fit to break their treaty obligationaMj^HBmM The Rilsskina^ay^ be all-out war in order to see- iftHlMiSMBi would work. Undoubtedly, if the atomic bomb in production, she has the power to inflict great punishment upon nearby nations. This does not mean, how ever, that Russia can compel the world to accept Communism or the domination of So viet “democracy,” which does not recognize the freedoms end liberties of the people of Western nations. Nations Seek A Way To Peace The suggestion that the United States initiate diplomatic conferences with Rus sia in an effort to settle differences be tween the two powers has the support of a number of influential citizens, despite the reiterated statement of the President and Secretary of State Dean Acheson that noth ing can be accomplished by such a move at this time. From Moscow, Harrison E. Salisbury, New York Times correspondent, reports that there have been no private exchanges recently between the diplomats of the two countries, nor has either side taken the slightest initiative toward reopening dis cussions. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union is said to regard its present strategic diploma tic position stronger than at any time since the Bolshevist Revolution and Russian lead ers believe that time is working on their side. This is based, in part, upon their con fidence that Russian development programs will steadily increase the potential and act ual strength of the Soviet Union. In Great Britain, the same issue has been raised by former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who suggests a three-power talk between Russia, Great Britain and the United States. While this may have been a campaign idea, the British Government in timated that such a talk might be held but under the auspices of the United Nations. In this country, suggestions have ranged from the billion-dollar crusade for peace to de clarations intimating that, for the present, at least, the country should stand pat and develop its defenses. The atomic bomb, with its successor, the hydrogen bomb, undoubtedly presents mankind with a choice between peace and destruction on a scale that might seriously retard or destroy so-called modem civiliza tion. Even in the face of such a threat, the nations are reluctant to give up their con test for supremacy in traditional fields of operation, but it is quite possible that the awful destruction which would accompany another war will cause them to choose the K, .
