The Initial Step Has Been Taken
The first report of the military staff committee of the United Nations will be made public Sunday. The information it contains and subsequent deliberations on this subject are of the utmost importance.
The Nuremburg trials established the principle that aggressive wars are international crimes. But crimes cannot be prevented or punished by an unarmed police department. The initial steps now have been taken to arm the U. N.
The results which the U. N. achieves in this realm may well decide whether the world will have a peaceful and prosperous future or will be plunged into a destructive war of terrifying proportions.
If a truly effective international police force is set up, solutions to the immensely important problems of disarmament and atomic energy control will be easier to attain.
The best thing to take when run down is the license number of the car.
The Portland, Maine, lighthouse, established during Washington's administration in 1791, still guards the rugged Maine coast.
It was 30 years ago this month that this country got into a European war, and it may be longer than that before we get entirely out.
It would be naive to think that this first committee report will embody a complete blueprint or that its recommendations will be acceptable to all nations. But the important thing is that a start has been made on the vital need to give the U. N. a "big stick."
The information the military staff committee will make public Sunday and the deliberations that will follow until an international military force is a reality command the earnest attention of every citizen.

'Geology Can Save Money'
"Millions of dollars are wasted in dam constructions due to the lack of prior consultation with geology experts," J. O. Jones, dean of the School of Engineering, told members of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, geology fraternity recently.
"Near the completion of a particular dam a geology expert was called after the owners expressed their concern over the project," Dean Jones said. "Upon his request the geologist requested to see the record of borings of foundation, and when the expert was told that none had been made, he remarked that the dam would be a failure.
"Ignooring the advice of the geologist, water was let into the dam. The geologist was right, because the water pushed gravel and sand out, causing a leakage in the dam's bed." The lack of geologic exploration before starting construction could cost many times the cost of the exploration, the dean said.
