THE UNITED STATES
Reading certain United States
newspapers and magazines, and
listening to some of its radio com-
mentators, one might get the idea
that the development of the atom
bomb was a purely American
achievement—and that it is nothing
short of impertinence for Britain
or Canada to expect to share in the
secrets.
Some American writers, however,
take a saner view; and from an
article by Ernest K. Lindley in
NEWSWEEK I quote the follow-
ing:
"Britain began work on . the de-
velopment of the atom bomb before'
we 'did. An exchange of atomic
information between the two coun-
tries began in 1940—In 1943
Churchill and Roosevelt' agreed
that the two programs should be
fused—The British halted nearly all
of their research and development
projects and moved most of their
key atomic scientists to this coun-
try. Their accomplishments at this
time had gone considerably beyond
the research state.
"Members of the British 'team'
in the United States worked hand
in hand with the Americans on
some of the most secret computa-
tions and processes, including the
actual assembly of bombs at Los
Alamos.
"Our Atomic Energy Act of 1946,
however, put Britain ,and Canada
on the same basis as other foreign
countries. It prohibited the Atomic
Energy Commission from exchang-
ing information with other nations
—and from distributing fissionable
materials to any person outside the
jurisdiction of the United States.
The question of British and Cana-
dian equities received little con-
sideration at that time chiefly be-
cause the governments of all three
countries looked forward to the
creation of an atomic authority
under the United Nations. That
hope was gradually strangled by
the Soviet Union.
Mr, Lindley goes on to tell how
the United States Act prohibits the
Commission from giving a vast and
growing amount of technical in-
formation which Britain and Can-
ada want, and to which they feel
entitled. He also points out that the
chief sources of high-grade uranium
ore are Canada and the Belgian
Congo, where the British have cer-
tain contractural rights which •
might be used to cut off supplies
now going to the United States.
"Britain knows how to make
atomic weapons," Lindley con-
cludes. "If it is to be denied a firm
and full partnership with the United
States, including' perhaps sure ac-
cess to atomic weapons in case of
need, it may reasonably be expected
to form other atomic liaisons, cer-
tainly within the colnmoilwealth
and conceivab'y with France,"
Alt of which st,tluot like a far
nwre sane and rational view than
you'd c,et, for instance, from the
Hear. ; newspapers or the Chicago
Tribune. -
POLAND
"There'll be pie in the sky bye -
and -bye" would seem to be the
theme -song in Poland, where every-
body who has anything to do with
gunning the country, from President
Bierut down, seems to be fairly
gushing enthusiasm for the new 6 -
year plan of economic recovery.
The new program is scheduled
to start around December lst.,
which is the tentative date fixed
for completion of the first three-
year plan which started in 1946. •
Right now the accent is on what
comes next. The Communist -domin-
ated Goverment predicts •that by
1955. the following things, among
many others, will have cone to
pass;
National income will be 97 per
cent higher than in 1949; produc-
tion in state-owned industries will
rise 114 per cent; Poland will be
producing 110,000 motor vehicles
annually including 60,000 trucks;
'sugar production will jump from
an expected high this year of 620,-
000 tons to 900,000 tons; 600,000
new homes will be built at a cost
of $725,000,000.
And that is by no means all.
Educational facilities will 'be ex-
tended by 181 per cent; radio re-
ceiving apparatus will be increased
from the present million sets to
two and a half million; the Polish
merchant fleet will be tripled, and
there will be plenty more which I
haven't space to detail here.
But there's just one factor which
I would advise being taken into
consideration before you decide to
turn your back on Canada and set
sail for Poland. Whatever Poland
needs in the way of capital goods
for all this expansion, it expects
to get largely from Soviet Russia
during the next six years.
Well, as the fellow said, they
can't jail you for hoping.
How'd You Like To
Be An Announcer?
Women radio listeners who have
always thought they might be able
to do a fair announcing job then -
selves will have the chance of their
lives at this year's Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition.
Mrs, Kate Aitken, women's di-
rector, has announced that this
year in the Women's World The-
atre there is to be a daily contest
to find the best woman announcer.
I aily whiners will then compete
for the top awards.
Each contestant will be asked to
put on a 10 -minute music show—
recordings, of course. Between
numbers, she will be asked to give
the time of day, a weather an-
nouncement, a plug for the
and snake a few personal comments
if she wishes.
At the close of the Ex., those
given top honors will be given
guest spots on regular radiogr
grams ' originating from the flair
grounds.

bXfj';
Jost a week ago, we took' a few
casual raps at the .form of athletic
pastiming known as track and field,
and right away, One of our fans
Who never misses; a single word We'
write (he has to read proof on it)
handed us a sharp reprimand, in
' fact, a couple of them.
* * *
First, he made a mildroutine beef
that either our typewriter or our
spelling was rapidly getting worse,'
although he thought maybe it might
he a combination of both. Then he
took us to task for not making an
exception — in putting the blast
-on track and field meets . — in the
case of one particular` variety of the
same. "Where else will you see
such uncomplaining gameness, such
,silent heroism," he demanded, "as
you will at the—?"
* * *
But perhaps we had better explain
the whole matter for the benefit of
those who do not reside in or near
the fair City of Toronto.
* * *
For untold years, the police` force
of that metropolis — a noble body
of troops if everthere was one, and
we only' hope they read this far—
have been throwing annual sessions
of track and field, known familiarly
as' the Police Games. And as far
back as we can remember; said,..
games had been notable, among
other things, for the minute per-
centage of spectators who turned
out, as compared with the huge
number of tickets sold. t
*. * 4
Some day - maybe rightafter
we cash in on the next Irish Sweep
—we intend doing a lot •of' deep
research into the problem of why
members of a police . force find it
so much easier , to sell tickets to
benefits, concerts and other such
rackets than ordinary folk,espe-
cially if they 'happen to be members
wiho customarily go round placing
parking tags on , folks' jallopies.
Until then, however, it must remain
a mystery, although you may take
our word that it's so.
* * *
Anyway, the police athletes used
to perform to wide acreages of seats
that had been sold, but remained
vacant until some genius thought of
pepping things up with an added
attraction. Furthermore, this added
attraction turned out to be nothing
but a beauty contest, in whicch some
of the sigchtlier young members of,
the opposing sex parade around at-
tired in nothing but a fewloose,
bandages and one thing and an-
other.
* * * -
Well, from that moment forward
Police Gaines in Toronto •— also in
other centres, they tell us, which
copied the idea — changed into
completely different affairs. Instead
of citizens paying out good dough
for the privilege of staying away,
they turned out by the tens of
thousands — turned out in such
quantities that the hearts of those
addicted to track and field were
made glad. "At long last," they said
to themselves, "the 'merits of track
and field are beginning to receive,
proper recognition. Before long,
Who knows but Canada will be right
in the same class in such spots as
Sweden, Norway, Russia and other
enlightened lands where the spiked
shoe and the vaulting pole can out-
draw the baseball bat or the hockey
puck 10 to 1, or better?"

But, alas and alack, for some un-
known reason it hasn't turnedout
quite that way, and•that is why, at
the Police Games, you will witness
scenes of uncomplaining gameness
and silent heroism our proof-reading
friend was alluding , to wlien. we
choked him off with a wad of copy
paper.
* * *
First of ail, there are the athletes
out there in the broiling sun, sprint-
ing, hurdling, jumping and pole-
vaulting their little hearts out, and
trying to look as if they imagined
somebody, outside of the officials,
cared a hoot about what they are
doing. That taices real gameness,
friends; because every last one of
those athletes knows right well that'
99 and 44-100 per cent, of the spec=
tators wouldn't care if every one of
then dropped dead, being interested
solely in the cheese -ca — we mean,
of course, the added .attraction.
* * *
But don't go away; you haven't
heard anything yet! While those
male athletes show gallant courage
under such punishment, theirs is by
no means •the only -exhibition of
silent heroism .--•or maybe it,ahould
be•:theroinisin - you will behold at
these spectacles:
* *
For, after those sightlier members
of the fair sex have paraded around
until they are in danger of third-
degree sunburn, then comes the
judging. And after the judges have
done their stuff, all the lightly
garbed contestants line up on either
side of the one who has been finally
Chosen to wear the Crown of
Beauty. .
* *
And as those lovelies stand there
with wide toothpaste smiles on
their kissers, you would imagine
from the expression on their faces
that they are just dying to shout,
"Three rousing cheers! Isn't Ver-
myntrude just too sweet and aren't
those judges the dilliest pickers for
"choosing her as Beauty, Queen?"
* * *
They do this, and get away with
it; when all the time yop_ know that
the best they are wishing Vermyn-
trude is a broken . neck and that
they would pay good moni:y to slit
the judges from ear tei eat, That,
friends, is sheer silent gameness;
and we greatly doubt if the male of
the species can match it, any time,
any place, in peace or in war;
"'Wouldn't it be easier, dear, to
weed out the vegetables?"
