VS? 1948 the year of decision. It is a pretty good title. The only trouble is that Americas most important decision has already been made, and nobody seems to realize it. We know that the British empire has broken up, but, aside from the fact that there is some grumbling about loaning money to the British, it doesnt seem to concern us very much. current issue of the United Nations World magazine, the British historian and author, D. W. Brogan, has an article entitled The British Shed No Tears for Their Lost Empire.

On that premise the group recommended that the government start now to spend on the air force in 1948 1.3 billion dollars more than the 2.85 billion currently scheduled for this calendar year, and that in 1949 the total be raised still another 1.3 billion dollars. serious danger For actual air strength the commission said that by 1942 the U. S. should command a total of 12.' "0 first-lin- e planes, plus more than 8,000 held in reserve. Although it was extremely unlikely that the air policy commissions recommendations would be adopted in toto by this or any other peacetime congress, the report put realistic emphasis where emphasis belonged. Everyone has been aware that air power is mandatory if the U. S. is to have any degree of national security in an era of feverish atomic-bomand the production, commission has succeeded in puU ting that awareness on as tactual a basis as is possible now. b OPEN CITY: Jerusalem Since apparently nothing can stop the quasi-civwar between Arabs and Jews in Palestine, that counil government has done the next best thing and requested both factions to spare the holy places of Jerusalem from any depredations they might carry out. The Palestine government asked the Christian, Moslem and Jewish religious communities to declare Jerusalems ancient walled area an trys harrassed open city. That plea couldnt stop the bloodshed but it could preserve the religious relics sacred to all three of the world's main religions. Meanwhile, transportation was being made available to evacuate any of the 1,500 Jews still living under Arab siege inside the walls. They are the remnants of 4,000 normal residents of the area.

But those days are over. See how promptly and politely we returned the Philippines to themselves, and took our marines out of Uie banana plantations where they didnt belong, and the other day even abandoned our bases in Panama. Dont tell me were going to establish a second British empire! We arent. The spirit of live and let live is just as strong as it ever was in this country. Unfortunately, however, what Brogan calls the spread of a general political and economic religion of all sensible men suddenly encountered a force that threatened to destroy it when the Germans marched into Poland and the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor. It took all America could afford, and more than Britain could afford, to stop that force. And today, another and stronger force is gaining power, and there is nobody to stop it but the United States.

Casualties from an atomic explosion caused by concussion, flying 1 debris, or flash burns. Individuals within a mile of the bomb blast are exposed to a lethal 2 dose of radioactivity. This is deadly. No matter how healthy they may appear, it is useless to treat them. Casualties one to three miles from the target center are in serious danger, but can be saved by prompt medical attention. Most dangerous are the deadly gamma rays. These attack the blood cells, causing severe internal hemorrhages. Only blood transfusions on a massive scale can save life.
