The God That Failed

Four years ago a single plane buzzed menacingly over the Japanese city of Hiro- shima. Seconds later the searing blast of me first atomic bomb fell upon the doomed inhabitants of the stricken city. A few days later Japanese resistance collapsed. The world recalled in horror from the implica- tions of this new and terrible secret wea- pon. A weapon so terrible that its discov- ery must, so millions thought, mean the end of war itself.

One hundred thousand fanatic Korean communists have awakened the world to the grim realization that the foot soldier with the gun is still the ultimate key to any military situation. For the atomic bomb, and the still unborn hydrogen bomb, like gas and bacteriological warfare, have theil limitations. Military experts say the atomic bomb would not be very effective in Korea. Those versed in political warfare are equal- ly reluctant to be the first to use mass dreadfulness as exemplified by the bomb, for fear of the moral consequences.

Pity of it is that people were taught to believe in the last four years that to wor- ship the bomb would bring peace to a trou- bled world. For the bomb has been a se- cret god, in which much faith was placed. Infantry, planes, artillery, tanks and all the other paraphernalia of Mars were said to be outmoded. And the people believed.

Now that the bomb has turned out to be the god that failed, Canadians will de- mand to know more about plans fory this countryls defences than hush, hush assur- ances breathed in secret that the Govern- ment plans to build a second atomic pile.

Industrial Anarchy

Several hundred chemical workers of the large Canadian Industries Ltd.'s plant at Windsor, Ontario, are out of jobs. The fac- tory where they worked will be closed down for nearly a year until the costly in- stallations necessary to the plant's opera- tion have been restored. Repairs and re- placement of equipment will cost more than a quarter of a million dollars.

What happened? Ask officials of the United Auto Workers' Union. For it was the ill-considered greed of fifty white-c.ol- lar office workers that cost several hun- dred men their livelihood for a year, ruin- ed the equipment of one of Canada's key in- dustrial plants, and cost the shareholders of C. I. L. a quarter of a million dollars in repairs.

The C. I. L. plant at Windsor produced chlorine, caustic soda, ammonia and com- mon salt. Complex electro-chemical pro-. cesses made it imperative that the plant not be shut down for longer than six, hours. Management knew this. Union members knew it. Unionized office workers, includ- ing stenographers already receiving salaries of d190 a month knew it. Yet, when 50 office workers struck, on the trivial issue of seniority, U. A. W. union members sup- ported them, picketed the plant, declined to heed management's plea for maintenance qaeration, and disaster followed.

Irresponsible action of this sort on the part of a trade union has no place in the economic life of Canada.

iinitod states census

Preliminary but official figures on the census taken in the United States last Qrlng place the population of that coun- try st 150,520,198, the first time that it has passed the 150,000,000 mark. The present stage of development of our great neigh- bour cannot at all be compared with this country which is only beginning to become somethlng more than a thin ribbon of pop- uistlon along the trans-continental rail- way systems.

Their remarkable achievements, how- ever, should be an incentive to Canada to go and do likewise. Their enormous growth of population has certainly not resulted in s lowered standard of living for their peo- ple. Rather, their phenomenal growth in stature as s-nation has been accompanied by the attainment of the highest standard of living in the world.

The mushrooming television audience in major cities is causing some radio advertisers to ask this question: Are enough people still listening to radio to justify present rates?

Preliminary estimates place the cost of the building at s1,250,000. It is hoped to continue construction through the winter with completion date set for April 1, 1952. The site of the new blinding is south of the Legislative building on Albert street, and the building will be of fire-resistant steel frame construction, brick and Tyndall stone faced. It will also be air-conditioned and acoustically treated. Designed for increased efficiency, the new a building follows the

BLOOD DONORS NEEDED

Sir: since the inauguration of the free Red Cross Blood Trans- fusion servicc in this Province eighteen months ago some 3270 transfusions have been given to patients requiring this type of treatment in our different hospit- als I understand that only 3.1.67 donations have been made so there is a large deficit. Only those who have frantically had to search for donors for a relative or friend in time of emergency can really ap- preciate what a boon this Red Cross service is to the doctors, the staffs of our hospitals. the patients and their relatives. The Red Cross now provides all the blood used in our hospitals.

As chairman of Medical Staff of the Prince Edward Island Hosp- ital I would like to use your rol- umns to heartily endorse this Red Cross Transfusion Service. and to urge our citizens to respond gener- ously to the appeal for donors at the clinics to be held in the prov- ince next week. 1.000 donors are needed to repay the Pi-ovince's in- debtedness and to establish a suf- ficient. credit to carry the service for the next three months.

May I say further that any per- son between the ages of 18-65 who is in" good health need have no hesltancy about being a donor ,- there is no pain nor after-effects associated with the giving of I donation. The service is available and used by all and should be sup- ported by all. Don't say "I'm too busy" because we never know when we may need s transfusion our-

I cannot over- stress the importance of this cem- paign, and I can truthfully say that many human lives will be sav- ed by an adequat response. We need over one tihoimand donors. The wonder drugs - penicillin. the sulphss,, streptomycin, and aureomyclu are simply of no avail unless preceded and accompanied by blood transfusions. one is rarely enough and many cases require a dozen or more. The remarkably low death rate in our hospitals in this Province is directly due in blood transfusion. The good people of this Province did splendid work in time aflwnr by savin the lives of thousands of our so ers. Let us do the same for our own pet- ients in our own hospitals. 4 some are afraid that it hurts to give blood. I can assure you that it is a painless process.

I should like to question your choice of words. if I may. Does "blast", in your vocabulary, mean the some as. "denounce"? As it matter of fact, do you think tide- nounce" itself is the proper word as applied in Mr. Coldnvell's quot- ed statement?
