U. S. Wants Peace
But Not “Peace
At Any Price”
EASTON, Pa. (/P)—The United
States wants peace and security,
but not peace at any price, Gener
al Omar N. Bradley, army chief,
of staff, said last week.
“Technically, we have peace!
now—peace defined as the ab- I
sence of armed conflict—but cer
tainly we do not have security,” I
General Bradley said in an ad- J
dress prepared for delivery at the
Lafayette College commencement i
exercises.
The American people and their ,
leaders must accept the belief that j
“military strength cannot be a j
last resort device for the extrac
tion of poorly forged political
irons from the fire,’’ General
Bradley said.
“It is unfortunate but valid;
criticism of modern international |
negotiations,” he added, “that a
nation’s voice whispers or com-1
mands in exact ratio to its moral
strength and military potential.”

Tuna Breeding
Place Located
MANILA, l/P)—Scientisl -
have found a place in the J’... <
where tuna fish are hatched.
It is in the Celebes Sea and ad
jacent waters south of the Philip
pines. The discovery was made by
Charles B. Wade of the U. S. F sh
and wildlife service.
Wade identified larvae as small
as one-sixth of an inch long as
tuna. They were the yellowfin
and skipjack species.
Similar larvae were found in
the Mediterranean in 1924 but
never before in the Pacific, Wade
said.
Although tuna are caught all
across the Pacific from California
to the China coast their spawning
areas never have been exactly lo
cated.
