E VENIN GOOD
By Quimby Melton
This old world is far from
peace, even though the fighting
has been ended in Wcrid War
Two. There are clashes that
have all the aspects of war
fare tn manv parts of the world.
Civil War is flaring in China,
with the Chinese Communists
objecting to the part America is
playing in supplying the Chinese
Nationalists with material.
The ever present Palestine
row has breken into open fight
mg.
And in Indonesia the clash
es have taken on the aspect
of war.
To top it all Barney Baruch,
long time Presidential advisor,
warns that both Germany and
Japan will do all within their
power to develop new metheds
of warfare. They will call on
their engineers and scientists to
give them tools of war -hat will
dwarf the Atomic Bomb.
And then they will start World
War Three, say’s Baruch.
♦
Baruch gives some mighty
good advice in this connection.
He says that every scientific cr
technological discovery or ad
vancement of the Germans and
Japs should be subject to check
and recheck by Allied scientists.
Tlius. and thus only, can we
keep abreast of their scientific
discoveries.
The Germans have long been
noted for thair scientists and
many of the basic discoveries of
science have been made by
them. Even though many mil
li ns of Germans have been kill
ed and many of her Jewish
scientists have left the country,
Germany can be expected to
again start research work in
her laboratories.
And the Japs have long been
noted for their ability to imi
tate or copy. It is said that
years ago a certain American
concern, that made locomotives,
was all pepped up ever an ord
er for one of their largest en
gines that came from Japan.
They saw duplicate orders for
engines and were planning a
huge export business to Japan.
The Japs got their first loco
motive and then proceeded to
take it apart. Then copying
every bit of the machinery,
