No Nation Will Dare To Fight Without An Atomic Bomb--Keemle
Rv LOUIS F. KEEMLE
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE (United Press Staff Correspondent)
The public throughout the world is agitated by three big questions, all of which come under the head of "War or Peace?"
Even top statesmen are asking the same questions, which are:
1. is there really danger of another great war in the foreseeable future?
2. Is the United Nations Organization threatened with disaster by the current differences among the Big Three?
3. Is a revival of the war-time collaboration among the Big Three possible in the interests of peace, either within or outside the framework of the UNO?
Nobody pretends to know the answers, especially to the latter two questions. Regarding the possibility of another resort to arms on the heels of the most shattering war in history, the majority opinion rejects it.
It is nevertheless significant that the prospect has been seriously mentioned, whereas six months ago most people were convinced that it was something not to worry about for many years to come.
One disturbing factor is the grave nature of the charges being exchanged by the big powers and the outward sternness of their demands. There was a time when such talk could well be the prelude to backing up words with action.
But thought patterns have beer changed somewhat by the experience of late war, so fresh in memory, and by the advent of the atomic bomb. It is axiomatic that any major conflict would involve the United States, Great Britain and Canada, who alone share the secret of the atomic bomb—or at least, the ability to produce it.
No power, lacking the bomb,
what are to go to war against one
bayonet?
Aside from that, the whole world knows that the United States people are unalterably opposed to another war and would almost have to be dragged into it. British opinion is about the same, in addition to the fact that it is often exhorted to fight a successful peace, let alone a new war.
(Editor's note—Keemle's article was written before the Russian statement that, atomic bomb or no atomic bomb, they'd go to war to protect what they consider their interests.)
Most serious thinkers doubt that Russia wants war either, despite the world-wide scope of her political and economical ambitions. Winston Churchill, in his controversial Mistress's speech, said what he thinks to be the answer
He implied that Russia wants all the benefits of a war of conquest without having to fight it.
Even if Churchill's gibe were true, it would not be the entire explana-
tion of Russia's course in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Orient.
The Russians have an almost morbid fear of encirclement. The very mention of the term "cordon sanitaire" gives a good Communist spots before the eyes. Naturally, that is what the party organ Pravda read into Churchill's speech. It pictured his address as "calling for a war against the Soviet Union."
Either one would, of course, lay the foundation for a future war.
The most disturbing thing about Pravda's diatribe against Churchill was its warning that an Anglo-American Alliance such as he proposed would mean the end of Big Three collaboration and of the United Nations.

That is why there has been so much anxious talk in London and Washington about another Truman-Attle-Stalin meeting.
Unfortunately, there is no prospect of such a conference before the next scheduled meeting of the UNO Security Council in New York on March 21. That session could have terrifying consequences if the present temper of the three powers has not cooled off meanwhile.
Alumni Library Has More Than 700 Books by Graduates
The addition of the book, "Washington Tapestry", by Olive Ewing Clapper to the library of books written by graduates and former students of the University brings the total number to more than 700. Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, said today.
Begun in 1922 by Esther Clark Hill, author of the poem, "The Call of Kansas", the library contains novels, biographies, books of poetry, technical themes—enough words by KU. authors to stretch around the boundaries of the state three times.
This is the second book by the wife of Raymond Clapper, famed Washington correspondent and a K.U. graduate, to be included in the collection. Her first was "Raymond Clapper: "Watching the World". Clapper's book, "Racketeering in Washington", is also in the collection
The author with the largest number of books in the collection is William Franklin with a total of 26, mostly on technical matters in electricity and physics. Second most important with 16, Chancellor Deane W, Malott is high on the list of authors with five in the K.U. library.
Among other well-known authors whose works are contained in the collection are Logan Clendening, Jerome Bellon, Langston Hughes, and Forrest C. "Phog" Allen. Titles run from "Kickapo Indians" and "Our Roving Bible", to "Exploration Geophysics" and "Rome and the World Today".
Some of the best-known books of recent times in the library are "The Horse and Buggy Doctor," by Arthur E. Hertzler; "History of Rome Hanks," by Joseph Stanley Pennell; and "Forty Years on Main Street," by William Allen White.
Any veteran enrolled under public law 346, and who has not selected a definite objective under this law, is eligible for full vocational advisement, Dr. A. H. Turney, director of the Guidance bureau said today.
Notice of extended advisory functions in the bureau was received from the chief of the Vocational Rehabilitation division in Kansas City, Dr. O. M. Mehus. Veterans may arrange for advisement by leaving claim numbers and addresses at the Guidance bureau, Dr. Turney advised.

Here Is Latest Information On K.U. Veterans
Of student veterans enrolled, 73 per cent have been overseas, while 36 per cent are married.
Here's the latest information on University veterans.
These are results obtained by a sampling of 1857 of the almost 2500 veterans here. The information has been obtained through forms filled in at the veterans' office and compiled by the public relations office.
A total of 2050 ex-servicemen are taking classes under the G.I. Bill. The majority are under Public Law with over 110 students under Public Law 16.
Checking the 36 per cent married shows that 30 per cent have one child and four per cent have two. Only .002 per cent have more than two children. Divorced veterans are also well down in the column with .001 per cent having put a check in the divorce column.
Women under the G.I. Bill of Rights are a limited group with women veterans making up one percent of the total.
The University of Kansas had already claimed 35 per cent of the enrolled veterans prior to their entry into service.
'Inter-Racial Living' Brings Understanding Among Races-Houser
Racial equality is an intellectual problem which may be solved only by bringing different races together through friendly, cooperative relationships, George Houser, national secretary of the Committee of Racial Equality, told an all-membership Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. meeting yesterday at the Union.
Mr. Houser stressed "inter-racial living" as a vital part in understanding racial problems before attempting to settle them. He stated that most persons were not well-acquainted enough with other races, and consequently racial disputes have spread with this lack of knowledge.
"We must rise above the segregated society of which we are all a part. Through experiences with other races we must become emotionally bound up with the intellectual background which we shall have obtained," Mr. Houser said.
