It will replace in time of need the all-water British life- line to India and the Far East through the Mediterranean, Suez Canal and Red Sea, which has become weakened for use in time of war since Britain decided'to take all military, forces out of Egypt, It wilf'reaell from. Nigeria on the At- lantic coast to Kenya on the Indian Ocean, and its eventual length is es- timated at more than 4,000 miles. More than a dozen countries and 50,- 000,000 people, ranging from spear car- riers in the jungle to professional groups in, modern cities, arc involved in Great Britain's plan to co-ordinate the economic development of its Af-' rican holdings. Economic planning is complicated by the fact that British Africa is split into a number of big and little seg- ments. In the west, British Gambia, the Gold Coast, Sierra Leone and geria are widely spaced units along the continent's "great-bulge" and the trus- teeship of British Togoland adjoins the Gold Coast while British Cameroons is next to Nigeria. In the east, Kenya, Uganda, and the Tanganyika trusteeship, together with Northern and Southern Rhodesia, Ny- 4Saland and Bechuanaland form a con- tinuoas geographic bloc, but, they too are governed as individual states and are aeparated from other British pos- aes'siorts, Between the main western and .eastern divisions lit the huge cen- tral areas of French Equatorial Africa and the Belgian Congo, The British eoloniea and 'former mandates, now trusteeships under the United Nations, are scattered over east, west and south-central Africa, The vast Anglo-Egyptian Sudan is ad- IlliniStered jointly by Great Britain and Egypt, The. solely British-held ter- ritories have a combined area about three-fourths that of the United States, Resources available for development in all of Great Britain's assorted African holdings are as varied as their terrain and peoples, * .a ATOMIC WAR RACE EXTINCTION Dr. H, J, Muller, professor of zo- ology at the University of Indiana, who last year was awarded the Nobel prize in medicine and physiology for his researches proving that gene mu- tations can be produced by X-rays, says dangerous radiations from atomic bombs will affect adversely the human gene system (body mechanism by which inheritance factors are transmitt- ed to the next generation , Persistent and world-wide misuse of atomic en- ergy can cause ultimate extinction of the human race. By planting delayed action "time. bombs" in the germ cells of future par- ents who survive repeated atomic bomb, explosions, the microscopic- sized genes that make a human being what he is may be mutated in harmful ways. These changes, he observed, "must cause the dying out of one of the de- scendant individuals that carries harm- ful mutations, either through his direct death, in consequence of it, or through his failure to reproduce—in either ease his genetic "death". Such mutations, he observed, would be scattered over many future gener- ations, but not so drastically as to of-' feet any single generation. If, how- ever he added,' the exposure to the radiation (atomic bomb) were repeated in the same way, generation after gen- CIGARS SMOKERS' SUNDRIES MAGAZINES , Haselgrove's SMOKE slim, eration, "it could in time destroy the human gene system beyond recovery", * BOON FROM ATOM Radio-isotopes have been released for export by the United States and Canada has its own source of supply of these mysterious radioactive atoms, in the atomic energy plant at Chalk Riv- er, Ontario. Their use will open up whole new areas of medical and biol- ogical research, penetrating, in the words of Dr. C. J. MacKenzie, Presi- dent of tht National Research Council, to the very secrets of life itself. These amazing particles have been aptly termed, "atoms with a tail-light," They are actually atoms of various sub- stances, such as copper, iron, calcium, antimony, sulphur, and about twtnty- five others, which being made radio- active, may be traced. Thus, if in- troduced into the human body, or pick- ed up by an• animal or plant, their movements may be followed. Thus the use the body makes of certain drugs and nutritious minerals may be tested, and it is expected that much will be learned that so far is shrouded in mys- tery. These mtr.inade substances cantalso be used for healing purposes and the future may hold many marvellotts cures for so-called incurable diseases from the use 0f radio-isotopes. The beneficent possibilitits inherens in radio-isotopes has yet to be fully dis- covered and exploited. The use of them has been termed the most impor- tant tool of 'research since the inven- tion of the misroseope„and it can read- ily be seen that to be able to send spe- elfleatonts with specific properties on informative errands will greatly enlarge tht boundaries of knowledge beyond present comprehension, Out of the terror of atomic bombs has come forth healing. May man be wise enough and strong enough to master the evil Powers and only make use of the aids to a better life, * a * 131(1-i13114'S MIDQ.RMTASTTERN: Recently, peasant farmers in an iso- lated valley south of the ancient city of Sian, in West China's remote Shensi Province, watched with 'idle curiosity while an inquisitive airplane hovered over their great "sky mountain," These humble laborers couldn't knoW that within a few days experts all over the world would thrill to the news that Col., Maurice Shehan, Far Eastern di- rector of Howard „ Hughes' Trans World Airlines, had discovered pyra- mids in China that "could be older and bigger than those in Egypt," Many small pyramids extend over a 100-mile stretch, according to Col. She- hart, but two giants stand out and dwarf the others, The larger of these is estimated ,to be 1,000 feet high and 1,500 feet on each side. For tens of centuries the great pyramids of Egypt have- been a wonder of the world, but the great pyramids of Shensi have been to the peasants nothing more than the hallowed sleeping place of ancestors. So it is left to the outside world to wonder, and perhaps to discover what great emperor or other high potentate rests beneath these ancient shrines which may be anywhere from 2;500 to 4,000 years old. * * * PESSIMISTIC- REPORT OF WORLD CONDITIONS. Trygve Lie, Secretary-General of the United Nations gave a generally pes- simistic report recently, on the world political situation for the. past twelve Months, but lie could see no prospects of war. In his annual report to the United Natioss General Assembly, he declared, "I do not believe that this present world•situation is as threaten- lie also said, "I am convinced that no responsible statesman in any country ing as it is often made out to, be." and can, or does, contemplate the prospect of war." Lie noted that the United Nations organs have held 1,911 meetings in ef- forts to solve the complex problems of the world, and he added, "the devel- opments of the year have revealed cer- tain disturbing tendencies. In a num- ber of instances in which a decision was taken on a general principle has been delayed or frustrated by the un- willingness of governments to take the necessary steps,, or by their inability to !agree on practical measures for execu- tion." I,referring to the fact that the main peace treaties still remain undrafted and unsigned, 'and that no agreement 'has yet been reached even on dome 'of their fundamental principles, Lie ap- pealed to the 55 'member countries for "a more general' effort to 'explore and resolve the fears and ,conflicting inter- ests which are at the root of our dif- ficulties." And he added that events have shown that the treaty differences are "part of a larger political complex which operates to delay and frustrate this endeavour as it has operated in' some affairs of the United Nations." Lie specifically mentioned atomic energy, arms reduction and Franco Spain, On the first two points, where Russia has consisteittly opposed the majority, he said: "The Atomic Ener- gy Commission has worked hard and made some progress, but the complex- ity of the problem still presents many points of disagreement and delay. The commission on conventional armaments (arms reduction) has made little pro- gress beyond the -adoption of a general plan of work. Thus the two most significant resolutions , of the general assembly still require positive imple- mentation." ',Referring to Franco Spain, he said,"The problem of Fran- co Spain cannot yet the said to be sat- isfactorily resolved in the spirit of the resolution passed by the general as- sembly." The Secretary-General also mention- ed the Marshall plan and declared that "important discussions still are in pro- gress with regard to the economic pro- blems of Europe and their relation to assistance from the United States." In conclusion he said, "The United Na- tions has made great strides in setting up international machinery for the handling of world political, economic and social problems, It now is pos. sible to say that, with the co-operation of member governments, the United Nations is equipped to undertake re- sponsibility for the handling of prob- lems in these fields," WEEKLY THOUGHT Roadhogs evolve from meek human beings.
