in the Days News
By FRANK JENKINS
Friday was the 15th anni
versary of the dropping of the
first atom bomb on the Japan
ese city of Hiroshima.
That suggests a question:
Where were you on Hiro
shima Day? I have a strong
feeling that every adult per
son living on this earth re
members vividly where he
was and what he was doing
on that day when the catacyls
mic news broke that an atom
bomb had been loosed upon
an enemy city.
When we saw the scream
ing headlines and heard the
tense voices of the announc
ers, we all realized instinc
tively that an older and more
familiar era was ending and
a newer and probably grim
mer era was dawning.
It was a shattering thought.
rpHAT first atom bomb to be
dropped upon an enemy
killed 60,000 persons outright.
injured 100,000 more and left
200,000 homeless.
The killing of 60,000 per
sons in one military attack
isn't too staggering for the hu
man mind to grasp without
reeling. At the battle of
Cannes in 216 B.C., when the
army of Hannibal the Catha
ginian met the army of Varro
the Roman in Italy, 50,000
men were killed, chiefly Ro
mans. But that was one man
with a sword killing another
man with a sword.
The atom bomb at Hiroshi
ma was different. It involved
almost the element of the
supernatural. It was accom
plished by ONE bom b
which suggested the thought
that if man could make one
atom bomb he could make an
unlimited number of atom
bombs. Suppose ALL of them
were loosed at once?

11 H A T suggested this
(hnnffht-
Might it not have been bel
ter if Albert Einstein hadn't
orignally theorized that mat
ter and energy are NOT dis
tinct but can be CHANGED
INTO EACH OTHER? That
was the earliest dim beginning
of the atom bomb, which has
now progressed to the hydro
gen bomb.
That leads to this thought:
Man now possesses the power
to destroy this planet upon
which he lives.
GRIM question:
WILL HE DO IT?
rpHAT leads to this line of
thought:
Most of the tragic evils
(tragic because they could
have been prevented) from
which mankind has suffered
during the centuries of which
we have a historical record
have arisen out of TOO
MUCH POWER CON
CENTRATED IN TOO FEW
HANDS.
That brings us to this con
clusion:
Somehow . ; . just how we
don't yet know ... a way
must be found to prevent too
much power from falling into
too few hands.
r
ONE more thought before
ending this think-piece:
The word LIBERAL is be
ing widely bandied about
these days.
What is a liberal?
MARTIN Luther was a lib
oral. He foueht against
loo much power in too few
hands. John Huss was a lib
eral. He fought against too
much power in too few hands.
(He was burned at the stake.)
Simon de Montfort was a litt
ered. He fought against too
much power in too few hai. 'i.
(He died in battle, fighting
the king who wanted too
much flower.)
Those men were LIB
ERALS We need that kind of LIB
ERAL leadership.
