The suggestion that the Unit
ed States stage a public demon
stration of the H-bomb in ord
er |to shock the world into a
more determined search for
■peace runs up against the fact
that tlhe world already is shock
ed.
The Russians say they have
the H-bomb, and this is confirm
ed toy allied observations. If the
American one is better, as AEC
commissioner Murray suggests
with his call for a demonstra
tion of superiority, it is better
only in degree.
Now demonstrai ions, there
fore, would hardly impress the
Russians who have already im
pressed themselves and would
fly in the face of neutralist de
mands, continuously pressed
ever since the first H-bomb
tests, /.hat there be no more
such.
Indeed, the world is so im
pressed tihat many unproven
horrors are envisioned. World
annihilation, production of hu
man monsters throulgih ganetical
changes, and the like, are a
mong Itham.
In the early stages of atomic
development it was believed

bombs might eventually force
the world to drop the idea of
war as an extension of diplom
acy. Instead, and despite the
fact that Russian observers
were preseni: at Bikini tests be
fore they (had the A-ibomfb, an
atomic arms race developed. On
the basis of the record, further
demonstrations of power can
only call for further efforts by
others to get even.
Indeed, there are now two
new factors whioh encourage
entry into the race by addition
al countries.
One is the confirmation alt
Geneva that Germany will not
be reunited soon, which cannot
but contribute to i.ihe rise of na
tional feelinlgs in Europe, and
to a need among individual na
tions to protect themselves in
every way possible.
The olher is the undetected
lowering of the financial cost
of atomic armament, through
the confirmations by Murray of
wthat has been long suspected
among laymen, that uranium
238. cheap and plentiful, is the
major source of H-bomb power
Anything now that gives the
impression of increased relia
nce on this killing power, in
stead of on peaceful solutions'
an world problems, would not
enly greatly disturb the neu:
t als, Ibut also might extend and
ins ensi/fy the race. Indeed, the
world’s uneasiness was increas
ed When it was revealed thialt
the Russians were conducting
new bomb tests even during
bhe so-called peace conference
at Geneva.

MINSTREL SHOW WELL
RECEIVED BY AUDIENCE
‘'Best show of its kind ever
seen in Sitka,” seemed to be
the concensus of opinion of
those who attended one of the
hree performances of the Min
strel Show, which the Rotary
Chub of Sitka produced over
the weekend.
All of the specialty numbers
— songs, pantomine, mono
logues, dances and skits —
were outstanding, while t he
end men and members of the
chorus were excellent for an
amateur production.
In fact the whole program
was so well received it is hop
ed the Rotary Club will make
it an annual presentation on ithe
local entertainment front.

POLICY IS QUITE PRETTY
;j To obtain a woman’s point
of via w, we askel Myrtle to
give us a description of our !
new Comprehensive Probity !
Policy & here is how it ;
strikes her: !;
“The Comprehensive Pro-!;
!"bit y Policy is quite charm-!;
ing. It is printed on azure !
/ blue paper in a deep shade of ;
!; black, and the front is adorn-1
;i ed with the company crest in;!
;! 'brilliant orange red. ;!
; “The type is chosen to give!
; a legal yet attractive effect,;!
I; and is quite readable—even!;
; to those of more advanced!;
ages. There is a personal,'
; human touch to the policy,
; too, as facsimiles of the sig
natures of several company;
! officials appear at 'the bot-;!
tom of the first page.
! “Only on the inside of the
policy is there a discordant?
note. The type, while impres- i
| sive, is over-crowded so that?
there would be a tendency j
to scan it only casually orf
I pot read it at all. This partj
of the policy could be made
more appealing with illus
.rations, larger print and
some color.
“The purpose of this policy
is to give protection of some
sort under certain conditions ;
hut it is all rather vague,'
though no douhi. understand
able to you, Boss.”
