That, he considered, would not help much. He has a farm, but he is not a farmer. Should he move onto the farm immediately, learn as much as he could about farming, and plan to live there where he would be comparatively safe? The farm is far from any large city, tucked in the hills. Then he started planning. He would have to learn a lot more than farming. He would have to learn to card wool, for instance; his wife would have to learn to spin, to weave, to make soap, to fabricate all the things you buy ip stores. He would have to lay in tools, and enough other suppl.es to last h'm the rest of his lifetime. Well, perhaps all that could be done. Then he realized that ev en at that, he wouldnt be safe. He would have to build barbed wire entanglements, and obtain machine guns and other weapons with which to defend himself for with the who escaped, refugees starving, fiom the cities, the few who had food would be at the mercy of the ungry mobs. If I had heard those statements from a lecture platform, or read them in a magazine, I might have passed them by as sensationalism. But the statements werent in a magazine, or spoken from a platform.

Public Interested In Prevention Requests began to arrive, so I called up the National Committee on Aton.ic Information which is near office of the West- the Washington ern Newspaper Union; ordered the pamphlets; and had the nerve to ask the committee to mail them out. I didnt know it then, but it costs the committee, which is, of course, a organization and skimps along on a handful of small cash donations, four cents for the pamphlet, a cent and a half for the stamp, two cents to address the envelope, another cent to insert, seal and mail! Eight and a half cents, altogether. My generous gesture toward preserving civilization had turned out to be rather lame. But that was only the beginning. An avalanche began to descend on me. At last count the requests reached over three thousand. The committee didnt know what to do.

I congratulated him on his new job with Uncle Sam. He wasnt very enthusiastic. He speculated comfort: or not the men would back to wotk if the government ordered them to do so. The miners, you recall, refused to obey government orders when the government go took over the soft coal mines during the war. Everybody ought to go on strike in the country, he said. If it gets bad enough, it may get better. We mentioned the possibility of permanent government ownership of the railroads. My friend reminisced a little on the days when he was an employee of Uncle Sam once before, in World War I, when the government did (to its sorrow) take over the railways.

Abo, what wonders atomic energy can perform in build. ng a better world, if it is confined to peaceful and productive activity. But by far the most impressive footnote on the subject came to me in the repeated words of a scientist speaking not scientifically, or for quotation, but very intimately of his own private thoughts, and his own personal plans. He has lectured a great deal on the subject of atomic energy, and is one of those intimately concerned with its development. Suddenly, one day he realized that he had better make some personal plans to prepare for the future in this atomic age of which he had spoken so much. His work is near one of the several prime targets of any enemy bombs that would be dropped. We have agricultural empire.
